  1. Spotted a white M35 Stagea AXIS Autech on Main North Road at Elizabeth about 6:30pm last night. Was in my dirty ass 32.
  2. Its on 10A. Know all too well the faint siren thing haha. When I got home from work just before I turned off the siren with the key and pulled out the IGN SW fuse so I could get a good nights sleep My car is in a locked garage behind a perimeter fence with dogs roaming, should be safe. Good idea. Will try this tomorrow.
  3. Havent got out there again yet, was too hot yesterday. Somebody suggested the fuel pump relay might be faulty as that is located behind the ECU where that click is coming from, so I guess I'll check that out too. I wish I could disconnect my alarm to see if that stops it, but I dont know how, lol.
  4. Spotted a R33 with HID's on Dalkeith Road, Kudla just before midnight.
  5. None of the above, but I am treating the alarm as a suspect, because it, well, sounds a bit sick on battery backup. Cheers for the offer mate, I'll do a bit more scrounging tomorrow and see what I come up with and yeah I'll flick you a PM, I live out of Gawler. Its been happening since the engine conversion, it seems like its getting worse, but it might be my imagination as uni has finished so Im looking at the car alot more. I'll try that tomorrow and let you know what it says. pretty sure it was reading 13.6-8 volts on idle at the terminals, and it would drop about 0.3V when you put the lights on. I will confirm tomorrow and also check what its doing at 2000rpm. Thanks guys! Just reflecting, the car sat for months and months with no engine, if the battery backup for the alarm kicked the bucket from being dead flat for so long, could that zap voltage?
  6. Hey guys, as the title says, my battery is going dead flat within as little as 1 day. The battery is 4 weeks old. Using a multimeter between the -nve on the battery and the battery lead, its showing 0.42A. I removed every fuse inside 1 by 1 as my step dad watched the screen, it didnt change. When I got to the fuses in the engine bay, when I remove IGN SWITCH it drops down to 0.03A. So its safe to say its something that runs off of there, the question is, what does run off of there? I noticed removing the fuse and placing it back in, that one of the relays behind the ECU is clicking when doing so. I should note that this car has a RB25DET conversion, so wiring is far from untouched... Any help would be greatly appreciated... -Dion. EDIT: Key was OFF while this was tested.
  7. No worries, I'll get in touch with an exhaust shop tomorrow. Thanks heaps mate.
  8. http://www.justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=18066&cat=252&page=1 Would this cut it? Or do I need one which specifically says EURO 3/4? Thanks so much for your help guys. There are exhaust shops around, I'm just trying to minimise labour costs (if possible of course) as changing things like cats can be done in my driveway.
  9. The exhaust and cat came off of another R32, so I dont milage on it or anything. Would you be thinking its the cat doing it? The exhaust that came with the car is in the shed, but its way too loud - 3" turbo back with high flow cat and straight through cannon. Does the XR6 turbo cat bolt up to the stock exhaust, or would I need an exhaust shop to do it? Edit: Just found this: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/XFORCE-3-BOLTON-HIGH-FLOW-CAT-S13-180SX-R32-R33-SKYLINE-/300500906493?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item45f73ff1fd Reckons it bolts up to the stock system.
  10. Wasn't sure what section this belongs in, but here goes. Hey guys, I recently put a S1 R33 RB25DET engine and gearbox into my R32, and it is performing well, I am currently going through the process of having this conversion registered with Transport SA. As part of the inspection process, it needs to have an emissions test. My car failed this (specifically the carbon monoxide output), by quite a large margin, and Im just trying to figure out why, so I can get it fixed up ASAP. It now has a brand new oxygen sensor, as the old one was permanently reading rich, but this did not fix the problem. The other reading they do in the test was okay (hydrocarbons I think) so that sort of indicates the cat is functioning okay.... I think. The car has been hooked up via CONSULT and isnt returning any faults. S1 R33 RB25 Engine, loom and ECU. R32 stock exhaust and cat. stock airbox, etc etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  11. Wow, sounds very positive! Excellent work!
  12. Haha yeah was a good day. Spotted a White 4 Door DR30 RSX, Maroon R32, Silver R32, White R32 GTR, Black R34 GTR, 260RS Stag, Yellow Stag, and a White Stag at Cruise for a Cause.
  13. I own an Xbox 360, and an iPhone.... Arrest me... f**k. I'll buy a PS3 when they get cheaper for the sole purpose of GT5
  14. If anyone drove past the Goodwood Hotel yesterday between 5 and 7pm, I probably spotted you.
  15. My old extreme died aswell, bits broke off of it, kinda like Boostin32, but not as bad.
  16. I'll come.
  17. oh, i thought i was on ns.com. my bad.
  18. I don't have one, but yes they are.
  19. Yesterday I spotted 3 R32 GTR's inside 10 minutes. First was a maroon/burgandy one on PRE, next was J-RAD I'm pretty sure, and the next one was DOHMAR.
