Free centre console surround and driver's side control surround - no connectors to control units, just the plastic surround. I bought an extra set so I could paint before installing into my car. Will be throwing it out in 48hrs unless someone wants it - so PM away. Pickup in Kellyville only. Cheers Matt

Yeah dunno. 370mA at 12V equates to 5W or so, which would suggest something substantial but nothing seen. I'm going to get my alarm looked at as it is the only thing I could think that may not be fused (or at least fused where I can get to it). Thanks for the thoughts anyway.

I am measuring right at the battery (in the boot for the R33 GTST). The ammeter in series completes the circuit that is opened when I removed the positive lead from the terminal. When connecting the ameyer, it closes the circuit and hence measures the current flow to whatever device it is that is drawing power even when the car is off. Yeah my amp is directly wired into the battery, but I have eliminated that as the problem already. Cheers

In series between positive lead and positive terminal on battery.

Ladies and gents I have a current leak of about 370mA out of my battery and despite pullling any fuse I could find and checking the resultant current draw, I cannot seem to locate the responsible device. I have also pulled any electrical plug I could find to try and isolate including those to the alternator. Has anyone advice or had a similar problem? I don't think it is the alarm, as it is only supposed to draw ~10mA, unless its the alarm battery that is trying to recharge itself off the main? Any ideas welcomed. Cheers Matt

Does anyone know the trick to removing the bracket (that attaches to interior roof) for the rear view mirror on R33 GTST? My car came back from a panel shop with a wobbly mirror. Much appreciated. Matt

Geoff, I am looking for the trim around the driver side windows/door lock control panel, which I see in your pics as part of the right door trim. Are you willing to seperate? Cheers Matt ([email protected])

I know not related, but I am new to Newcastle and am a skyline owner so thought someone might be able to help: Am looking for somewhere to regularly service my car, as I cant be stuffed/dont have the tools to do it myself. My car is lightly modified, so looking for somewhere that typically handles imports. Thanks in advance, Matt

yeah will do when i get home. (Jan 10 or so) weren't that many girls there tho.

No worries - with the only info being "option market" and being in Chiba somewhere, we managed to find it. We kinda just guessed, and headed towards the big convention centrea... got there late, but still got some pics with the girls and a couple of cheap gauges. Tell you what, if you were looking for a carbon-fibre bonnet that was the place to be.

Hey, A couple of mates and I are travelling through Japan at the moment and will be in Tokyo for the 12th and will being going to the market... assuming that we are able to find it. Ausdrift - can you give us some clues as to how to get there? We of course have JR passes so would prefer that carrier Also, we havent sorted out accommodation yet... any suggestions? Cheers, Matt

Hello all, I am over in Japan (Osaka at the moment) and was wondering if there are any car shows/drift events etc going on between now and the 15th of December ( i saw the post for the event on the 18th of December but unfortunately we will be in london by then). I am over here with 3 friends and would love to see a track/car show. Any directions/help would be great. Cheers, Matt

so did you learn anything from novus?? I have a similar problem. Cheers

obviously not anything ground breaking, but I just got my PowerFC installed and tuned and i am making 200 at the wheels at 1 bar - this is with 3" turbo back exhaust, ebc, FMIC, air POD and PowerFC. Injectors will be at limit now, so next up for engine stuff will be turbo+injectors+cam gear/shafts.

I am getting a second hand one for about $850 (without controller) - i just figured there is not much advantage in getting a new one, or even the hand controller, as i plan to get it tuned and then forget about it.

thanks all, for responses. I am getting one at a pretty good price so ill make sure i get some assurances of its tune-ability. As for hand controllers, looking at this site suggests that all the commanders made for nissans should be interchangable, just not other car brands. (ie they are all 415-X001s) http://www.ooparts-international.co.jp/ind...r_fc/index.html

Hey All, just before i purchase one, anyone have any stories/advice on 2nd hand Power FCs, or any ECU for that matter. I figure that if you are going to get it retuned anyway, there is not much point buying a brand new one? THe only advantage i can think of is the warranty, but are they really prone to failure anyway? comments/advice? Cheers, Matt

I am just after a Apexi Power FC for my R33 GTST (ie code 414-N012), whether new or used. I am not after the hand controller, and only want the standard Power FC (not the jetro or pro version). Cheers, Matt

Seems like if you want to launch a car, better that you steal one first - that way you will get away with a fine, and it'll be someone else's car that is confiscated. Seriously though, most of the cited "hoon" behaviours are nothing more than some extra noise. If they are so concerned about the general publics' audio comfort, they might as well ban trucks and harleys. "The most effective action is to take away their car because that's the thing these people love the most," Dr Such said - next time Dr Such is caught speeding, lets take away his wife, or if he doesnt have one, his p#$^$.

yeah autobarn think they can sell you otherwise generic hose for 3x as much just because they call it a Cold Air Induction Pipe Hey dave, what did you heat the drain pipe with? Cheers.

you going to stick that insulation down? just thinking that the pod make suck it all over the place/ block you intake. i think i will get some black rubber to stick over that hole for the stock IC pipes. thanks for taking pics. now i will know if i i have done it wrong

saw a white 33 GTR (think) in Mannum and a blue 34 on the way out of lobethal yesterday arvo. not much good without plates i know.

yeah the friday of that weekend would be good (i am heading up to around Mannum on the Fri night anyway).

cheers mate. thats what i opted for too. its at the shop as we speak.
