When I first got my p's (I'm on a full license now) I only had an auto license. Just before I bought my skyline (just over a year ago) I went in to the government shop front and asked them to take the automatic condition off my license. I called up the dickson motor reg before hand and they told me as long as I've had my p's for 12 months I can get the automatic condition taken off. There was no charge. May as well do it, it takes about 30 mins out of your lunch hour...

Cool, thanks guys. Looking at the connectors on the speakers and the wiring going to them, it looks to me that they are indeed stock...

Hey guys, Just wanting to know if anyone had seen these speakers before, they were in the front. My brother thinks they are the factory speakers, but I think he's wrong. I'd say they would have been installed in Japan as Carrozzeria is a rebrand of Pioneer in Japan (I think). I tried a google search for the model number but came up with nothing. Thanks.

Would probably be easier for you to post a link. I think a few people are gonna want this. Including me :-P funk_soul_brother AT hotmail DOT com

pic of the whole front bar will be fine

Is it possible to get a larger picture of the front bar?

Any idea how much it would be to ship to Canberra? Depending on how much that would be determines how serious I am...

Do you have a pic? Any damage?

Sounds great Jay. It'll be a good excuse to meet up with another skyline owner

Hey Jay, Just got a new gear knob to replace the old worn one and now the gearstick and handbrake boots look out of place. Can you put me down for a set please. I can come and pick them up from you when they are ready. Cheers.

I think I may have the same problem. The timing belt + a few others was changed about 7000 ks ago. It does only seem to happen when it's cold. I do notice that the oil light is on while it squeels. The squeeling and oil light both stop/turn off at the same time. I thought it may be the oil but I changed it 2k k's ago and am using a full synthetic 5w-40 oil.

This site has some good info for Australian laws and radar/laser equipment used by the police. http://radarlaser.com.au/ A friend of mine recently got busted with a radar detector on the way to the snow. Cop was going in the opposite direction and the radar detector picked up the police radar. There happened to be a radar detector detector installed on that car and got pulled over. My friend was fined $1000 and had to hand over the detector. If he didn't hand it over the cop threatened a further $1000 fine on top of that. I'm not sure if he could do it but my friend wasn't going to find out the hard way. Thinking about it my friend could have been a bit smarter about it. He should have turned the detector off once it had picked up the cop. Once he saw the cop turn around he should of taken it off the sun visor and got his passsenger to stuff it down their pants. If the cop wants the detector he has to search for it. I believe they can search your car but not your person, but don't quote me on that.

I'm interested. Let me know how you go.

Thanks for your help guys. Will post here with the results for future reference.

darkhalf, Can you let me know how you go with your project? Is this something your looking at selling? would be interested to see the results.

I didn't feel like going to bed tonight so I decided to make a flyer, not sure if it tops the previous effort though... I was thinking of using an R34 but couldn't find a pic I could use. I can change the text and pic if need be. This has been optimised in order to be able to atach it, I can provide a higher quality one if needed. Let me know what you think. Matt

I've got a JVC chameleon head unit I don't need anymore. It works great but I wanted something with MP3 when I bought my car. It's not the newest thing around but it's pretty good, it's a stealth one that looks like black panel when powered off. The new model with MP3 retails for around $800 I think.

Heater hose runs along the back of the engine bay, up against the firewall. If you look behind where your turbo is you should see to pipes going into the firewall, one of them should have some heat shielding (I think) on it. If you follow it back it ends up on the manifold side down to the rear left hand corner of the engine (I think).

Thanks for that KamikazeR33, will try Supercheap. I was still wondering if anyone has changed the heater hose on their R33 before, I don't want to get halfway through and find out I can't finish it.

I was doing some maintenance on the weekend and when I had a close look at the radiator and heater hoses I noticed that they are probably the same ones that have been on since the factory. I gave them a squeeze and I could hear them cracking on the inside and they were really soft. I figure it's worth changing the lot now as it's not worth the risk of one failing, would probably need a new engine. Preventative maintenance is a lot cheaper. Has anyone else had any experience in this? I asked if they had radiator hoses for an R33 at Autopro but they said no. Will I have to order them from Nissan? Does anyone know where I can get them from? I can change the radiator hoses myself but I'm not sure about the heater hose. I tried tracing it back and it looks like I may need to take the manifold off to get at it. Has anyone attempted this before? or would you advise getting a mechanic to do it. I also would like to know where I can get a radiator cap, I haven't tried any auto shops but the one on there looks smaller than standard, I think it's rated 0.9 kg/cm2. Thanks in advance. Matt

fair enough, let me know if it falls through.

Is halo still for sale??

I'm assuming the dvd's are no longer for sale...

very interested... what kind of camera do they hold, is it the average "handycam" thing? The reason I ask is I have access to a Canon XL1, considerably larger than a consumer level camera.
