  1. The only thing you might want to do, is reset your ECU and force it to relearn off the better fuel. It might advance the timing for you a bit and get a little more power/economy. =-]
  2. Yah, understeer horribly.
  3. Unrikery! It is probably NTSC also... I doubt it'd have any inputs on it. More of a sealed unit if it's a factory option.
  4. Think yourself lucky it only squeals in reverse! Mine squeals almost all the time! I've heard that putting brake-goo on the back of the pads stops them from shimmering in the caliper, which creates the noise in the first place. Bear in mind that your pads are wearing in a forward direction, so when reversing, they are probably more brittle... could cause the same problem? As far as the belt goes... i'd be more inclined to check your idler and tensioner pulleys that hold the timing belt tight.
  5. Sat nav is it? Thanks! Looks the ideal dash to mount a TFT in though! (combined with NewKleer's consult software)
  6. Ah... damn... i'll try to find time to put the pics up tonight. =-]
  7. Umm.... "Australiahater" is probably not a great account name to use if you write stuff like: "This website is to show my love and appreciate of Australia!! my most enjoy contery!! i love AUstralia!! SUGOI!!!"
  8. I don't know about changing the eye-piercing colours... it just wouldn't be Geocities without them!
  9. I think they add psycological value... whatever makes YOUR car look like more of a pain in the ass to steal than someone else's. Clublock might not be fantastic on its own, but it's REALLY visible and might put a would-be theif right off the idea. On the downside, it might look like that is your ONLY form of security. A security sticker from your alarm or a flashing LED from the system is a good idea.
  10. A Nismo option? Never seen one before!?
  11. I think you have to post prices if you put anything in the "for sale" section. Otherwise, it looks more like a shameless plug for a new product you're trying to push. =-]
  12. Pretty loud, yeah! I haven't had it for a while now, because my alarm's turbo timer keeps the ignition going after i've taken the belt off and gotten out of the car etc. But yeah, have you tried pulling on it with the car running and not running? Could you feel the difference?
  13. I posted up a FAST screenshot a while back.. can't remember where it is now. I'll be doing the same thing soon (next week or two). If I remember, i'll dig up the info again when I'm home.
  14. Change this to a poll... Option 1) Power FC Option 2) Anything else I put money on Power FC.
  15. $120 for the catback? Is it branded? Which muffler needs replacing? middle or rear? Pics please? Cheers!
  16. Interesting! And you used the original red power cable, and ran your own ground? It sounds a lot like electrical interference, the way it pulsates with the ignition on. I could come up with things to check, but i'd have no clue whether they'd produce the symptoms you describe, and they'd just be the usual things that you probably already know. (wires grounding etc) Wait for Chris Rojers ;o)
  17. Valet switch is much like a valet key... it won't let people enter the glovebox or boot. So when a valet parks your car, they can start it, drive it, but not swipe anything in your boot and glovebox. (prolly not applicable for Skylines... no lock on the glovebox) I agree that everyone should have a top-notch alarm. I read so many posts on SAU about people getting their cars swiped... spend money on an alarm before upgrades and neon lights or whatever tickles your fancy. If everyone had a decent alarm on their Skyline, I recken most theives would stop bothering to try, and move on to other desireable performance cars. I have two mates with stories from the end of last year. First guy went overseas, got back to find his GTiR missing a bonnet, and the door had been jimmy'd open. Wires cut etc etc. The theives couldn't start his car due to the immobiliser. No alarm though, so they simply took what they could. Second guy has an R31 with an RB20DET in it. Woke up in the morning to find it down the road, door jimmy'd open and the ignition barrel slaughtered. The theives couldn't start it. Not sure why it was down the road.. either to hide the starter motor noise, or to try and hill-start it. The ignition immobiliser saved his car. Again, no alarm siren. In both cases, the immobiliser saved their cars, and they have since had everything repaired, except for a Pulsar bonnet to replace the GTiR bonnet. Sure, theives can tow your car, but there are alarms with tilt-sensors and shock sensors. Park behind another car, and towing becomes a problem. Either way, we need to address every possibility. I have a 3-point immobiliser, with shock sensor, glass break sensor, and all doors/bonnet/boot sensor. If you try and take a wheel-nut off, the alarm will go off. I test the alarm by kicking a tyre... it sounds off. I arm the car then use the key to open a door or boot, it goes off. Be safe, people! =-]
  18. Have you disconnected the RCA's from the back of the head unit?
  19. belts should have half an inch movement when you push on them. If it tore, like someone else said, it may be a tensioner pulley or something resisting and then snapping the belt.
  20. I've seen that on my windows... it leaves horrible streaks after washing the car and putting the windows up and down. I recken you might be better off using your own material and some superglue. Velour? Some thin carpet? I'm sure something will work without scratching your windows. =-]
  21. I don't think there is a fuse for left, and another for right. If one is working but not the other, you may have a wiring/switch problem. Get a multimeter onto the wires in the switch.
  22. Ah, so it has it's on pressure-sensor, doesn't run off the map sensor or anything. Neg on the price? <insert usual excuse for not having money> Could you send me a pic too please? Ta!
