....But the Holdens aren't completely engineered or designed by Australians barely come close, after GM's take over most cars were built for Vauxhall then re badged as Holden's, Until the VE Commodore no Holden was "Aussie Made" for 37 years I really find it annoying when people say it's Aussie Made so it's better and what not to be honest I'd rather have my clothes made by an Asian, my cars made by the Japanese or Americans (I know ppl are going to hate me for that one), and my barbecues tended by and Aussie (Except for the ones who like steaks medium to well-done steaks should be juicy not bricks)....ok I'm prob getting a little carried away here...All I am trying to say is that I think some cultures are more developed in a certain way to do things better then others and I would rather have it done by a different culture to do it well then another one just to say it's my own...unless it's cheaper (Which it's not in this case) oh and for everyone is complaining about $1000+ for used PWRFC, search these forums you can get a new one for the same price or less (I'm not talking about the FOR SALE section ether) ....come to think I forgot about the Italians.....and the Germa.....ANYWAY you get my point

Still have it got $400 for it

What did he say the problem was? 100% sure its an alternator, I would suggest taking it out getting the part number and seeing if the two you are contemplating to replace it with are interchangeable ether that or you could post it here and hope someone can FAST it for you which might work

Thanks for the replay yea my fuel economy was part of the reason for this survey I've already got my wheels aligned and oil changed but I'll do all the other things over the next few weeks, thanks

I'm all up for forming a team that will be cool an SAUVIC PB Team! yea! haha I still have my connections in the states so I'll follow them up see if I can get some here...man how is it that guys with no money to spare get into the most expensive hobbies?

Alright people, start throwin dates and ideas at me I know Uni exams are commin up so let me know, also should we vs another car club?

More details please RAV, I'm planning to install a car PC which will let me use anything from web cams to dv recorders, what is your main purpose for it do you want to use it only in the car or for other purposes as well? You can get specialized ones which link to GPS for tracks (Monitors speed and has it on display although nothing you cant do with sync software) something I was contemplating was getting a helmet cam (for my bike & snowboarding) and making a mount for my camera it's good records to SD car pretty decent quality and versatile but it's costs a little bit and you cant edit on the spot. Whats your price range? Do you want a permanent fixture or something that's removable?

Let me be the first to officially welcome you to the site, there is a lot of good infomration here and even better people I hope to see you at a meetup or cruise soon and should stop by the next meet....an R35 will be there if the temptation of a skyline meet is not enough, hope to see you soon James Oh and congrats on your purchase, sick car

....would it be bad that I'm hoping you cant figure it out? Haha jk I actually hope you do get it good luck brett

Sorry cant help just wondering where you got the Ej1 System from

10 Second Google Search http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...ate-t21684.html

Did you find it hard doing the compression test since you have to remove so many parts to get to the cylinders? What method did you use to disable the EFI?

I'll Go First Car: 1995 R33 GTS-T S1.5 Spec-M, Modified Nismo Exhaust, Stock Everything Else Gas of Choice: Shell V-Power RON98 $ Per Tank: $90 on current prices usually try to fuel up on cheapo Tuesdays ranges from 145-150 per L Kilometers Per Tank (Based On Driving Area & Driving Style): 300, Mostly on Princess highway from uni to suburbs or to city lots of stop and go, Try to be conservative 90% of the time and stay off the turbo but sometimes I like to open up the values Other Comments: I'm still pretty new to the skyline scene to my experience is limited, my engine seems to be running rather rich but I think thats because of the Nismo Exhaust

I think this has been roughly covered before but couldn't find anything which matched what I'm looking for or anything that was up-to-date (old threads) since gas formulas are changing I figured things might be different now. I want to do a small survey and gather people opinions I was going to make this into a poll but it would be too long and too limited so please fill in this survey, I tried to include all things relevant, tell me if you think I'm missing something or have a suggestion. I originally had Driving area, style and KMS per tank on separate sections but I don't think anyone drives the same all the time so put it all together so people can list options based on their experience instead just one big average. Car: The make, model & year of car in question and factors which would effect results Eg. Fifth Generation, 2000 Nissan Skyline GT-BNR34 GT-R V-Spec II, Modified Exhaust, Suspension, PowerFC, Dyno Tuned, etc... Gas of Choice: Regular, BP Ultimate, Shell V-Power 98/100, Mobil 8000, Caltex Vortex 95/98 Eg. Shell V-Power, Sometimes Regular when money is tight or Ultimate when somewhere with no V-Power $ Per Tank: How much you roughly spend on a FULL tank (Warning Light on Preferably & Based on Gas of Choice) Eg. $90, sometimes $70 when out in the bush and my regular choice is not available and have use regular Kilometers Per Tank (Based On Driving Area & Driving Style): Amount of KM's, Where you drive (you might want to explain for people in other states), How you drive Eg. 400, Weekdays, driving to work, mostly take motorway, Conserving as much fuel as possible 200, Weekends, driving on such and such's winding roads, Lead Foot Other Comments: Anything else you might think is relevant or think is worth stating Eg. My car is regularly serviced I've had some problems with knocking at anything under 98RON or when I use Mobil's 8000 Engine seems to be running rich not sure why yet I try to drive slow and smooth off red lights Etc… Really sorry if this is a re-post or there is something already very similar but I hope people fill this out it would be very interesting to know, I will consolidate peoples replies after I get a few so it's easier to view all the results and compare, I hope this is well received. Also someone told me he runs his R33 on regular unleaded and thinks there will be no problems in the future and doesn't experience knocking, can anyone confirm this?

Hahah normally I would think that wasn't cool since I'm a big fan of fields (some of my good freinds were owners) but after seeing your prices holy crap man! WTF major ripoff! Why are they so expensive here? If you charged that in the US you would be closed within a week that is nonsense. Just make sure you don't buy any Monster ball shit, Don't know if you can get that junk here but they sell is in WalMart in the states and its RUBBISH i mean seriously it's like getting hit with a reball (balls that are reusable, usually made of rubber) new comers use it all the time cause it's cheap but it's already being banned on some fields (some fields are cool and let you bring your own balls....not just those ones) cause they are a serious safety issue Hahah this should be interesting Haha reminds me of this one time when a complete ass challenged my team thinking PB is a no skill sport, ended up taking out some of his own team until he ran out, thats when we taught him a lesson usually we are against bonus balling but this kid deserved it Glad to see a good amount of interest will start organizing soon

Porsche & Ferrari & Mercedes on Friday on Chapel or Church Street Audi Today Princess Highway at Carnagie Intersection

Or do what I do and get an international license and have a full license which doesn't specify auto or manual (Mine doesn't anyway)

Ash he's asking if you can keep paintballs that you haven't used at the end of the game I don't know about here but in my experience the fields let you keep the balls you haven't used, letting you used them again is another story, some fields will sign and stamp a card saying you bought the paint from them and will let you use them next time although most of the time they will inspect the balls if it's suitable for playing (weakened, old, re shot balls break within the gun barrel and clogg it) No field i have ever gone to (Becuase of what Nismoid said) has ever let you bring your own balls (except for the one who sponosred us but we used our own gear) because you have to pay for the balls before you use them I would think it would be illegal for them not to let you keep them no?

hahah next thing you know all be getting an angry mob of excels and automatics or even worse....AUTOMATIC EXCELS!...haha....oh no RCHOO knows where i live now...that guy has spys man Hahha the automatic was a joke everyone seriously sometimes I wish I had an auto especially in the city or in peak hour traffic but it's an easy cheap shot how can I resist? Same goes for the Excel my first lady gets 500k+ to her tank which is smaller and cheaper to fill in her Mirage would i love that kind of rate and millage HECK YES, but I cant get it cause I need to compensate for something and get a skyline as one of my good friends seems to think, but we got skylines...OH WELL haha and is that what it takes to get you to talk on these forums? Is to insult your car? I think this is the first time i've seen you post anywhere! haha PS. If i ever become too much/more of a dick don't hesitate to tell me off sometimes I get carried away and need to be slapped back in my place

*sigh* what is this world coming to, were getting Alfa's, excels, automatics in a skyling club....oops did I say automatics I mean uhh......haha jk

Yea, understandable, oh well hopefully I'll see you on a cruse sometime, big fan of your car btw, pulled of the cft hood really well, usually not a fan but looks good on your GTT

Dunno really hoping around 20-40 depending on who were vs.ing and the field Dude sweet, haha virtue chip planning some full on carnage are we? Where did you get you equipment from? Yea woodsball is the game for me use to be pretty on in the states although I usually played forward position so I was out pretty quick, damn backers get all the credit, haha but we had a good team there it was a lot of fun, I really want to get a Tippman A-5 here but proving...difficult should join you guys for a game sometime

hahah no not grammatically, just a better keyboardist and not as lazy, I noticed those errors but didn't know how to edit a thread name

Haha good lil meet? You were in and out pretty quick, just curious where ya'll disapear too? I was expecting a small cruise afterwords but everyone seemed to have dispersed haha oh well maybe next time

mmmm I must say that was a bit harsh Shan, I mean I know I can be a bit of an ass myself but seriously man the man didn't show any intention of being a hoon or was looking for backstreet racing, we get these cars cause we love to drive, we have meet ups and small cruises at least once every fortnight on roads, to me his question seemed legit and your response was pretty uncalled for and definitely something I wouldn't expect from an Admin I mean posting a link to vic police and commenting about being banned come on man, if I just got my car and this was one of my first post this would really deter me from coming back here and thats not how we want members to feel, is it?
