Its a number plate... it can't look hot.

I would add some obvious things. Don't have a full tank of fuel because it will eventually 'go off' so try and have as little as possible (but not completely empty = bad for fuel pump). Do as Duncan suggested and replace the engine oil at the very least. I would probably change the oil filter and fuel filter too. When you come to starting it again. don't try and crank it very first go: let it build some fuel/oil pressure. Its good if you can get someone to turn it over every couple of weeks but I really wouldn't worry too much.

If you had searched you would have found the O2 thread of doom: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=oxygen++sensor

And that has what to do with petrol prices?

Finally toyed with one in a store last week. It looks pretty and has flashy graphics, but like so many new gaming products it left me cold. Give me the old school games which cared less about graphics and more about fun. The Nintendo DS looks more interesting to me, and appeals to my happy childhood memories of wasting much time with Nintendo machines.

I take it these aren't genuine Pivot items?

I agree and I disagree. I agree because like you I don't normally drive my car daily for a number of reasons (security, cost, its general habit of breaking, and the hassle of every dick annoying you) but when I do it give me a real kick and I don't mind paying for that. But that is a convenience I enjoy because I have a reasonable well off family with excess cars, inner city housing, and enough disposable income to waste it on toys like GT-Rs. On the other hand, its the families who live out woop woop with poor access to public transport (as opposed to access to the poor public transport like us inner city folks ) why rely on their cars and don't have much disposable income at the best of times. Regardless, I don't agree with the whole "cut the tax" argument that seems so popular for various reasons I could bang on about if so provoked

1. Mines Response R34 GT-R (can't believe noone has mentioned it). 2. Nismo R34 Z-Tune (the final one). 3. See No. 1

What clearance? Ground or screen?

Relax. The smilie was there to indicate I wasn't being serious. I realise he needs it off to install the gears and tune them, but it seems foolish to me to leave the covers off indefinately. Thats all. Not good if someone was searching for camgear info, came across this thread, and assumed the cover was irrelevant.

Really? Well that's good news given my propensity to speed on Darley Rd

Not that I advocate speeding, but its interesting to see where they are placing these (assuming this email is correct): Looks like I'm going to have to be especially careful driving around my local area

sav man: Yeah, I noticed the OCR facility in Acrobat 7. It seems quite good though I haven't checked how it deals with some of the funkier formating. I still intend to finish the OCR'ing of the workshop manual the way I was doing it as I am slowly cleaning the pages up too. I've got about 7 weeks till my thesis is due and then I should have a lot more time nxtime: I would always encourage people to donate to SAU or join the club(s). Given the grey area that exists around the manual I'm not sure requiring people to pay would be a good idea. homerz: Its bound to be exactly the same one.

Sounds like an offset problem if you talking about the space between the edge of the guard and the edge of the wheel. You could get spacers, as scathing said, but be aware they are illegal (in every state IIRC).

Really? I never would have guessed Somehow I don't think its taken a year to install them.... Nor do must people need to adjust them so frequently that the cover must remain off. Anyway, he is entitled to do whatever he wants with his car but he shouldn't be under the illusion the cover is just there to stop people playing with the timing belt adjustment.

Straight from the horse's mouth:

Is that price negotiable?

Is this for a street driven car or a track car? I remember SK warning against using an N1 water pump in a street driven car as they are low cavitation IIRC and those prone to failure in stop start traffic.

I've emptied mine post it landing, and its filling up again... so there is nothing special about the trip from Japan. I imagine its got something to do with the bonded nature of the spoiler and rain + washing.

Ummm, no. Its necessary to stop dirt and crap getting in. Of course if you would rather show of your bling cam gears than actually protecting them against wear, that's fine

Have you considered putting the cover on? Kills two birds with one stone....

SSPI's website: http://www.sspi.com.au/

Its covered in the service manual. Not a particularly hard job, but it can soak up some time If you remove the speedo cable, by careful not to let the spring and washer (which hold it in place) run down the cable in to the abyss (like I did, and then spent an hour trying to get them back).

Is the line actually split somewhere along the length (i.e. have you actually found the leak)? I had a problem with the hoses on mine: they had moved down from their position on the resevoir. A bit of grunt work 'walking' them back up on to the resevoir inlet and outlet, some new clamps, and all was rosey. Oh and it fixed the HICAS problem I was having too

SSPI in Kirawee has a good reputation and they are probably 15-20 mins away. Edit: They are also near the train line if you need to leave the car
