sorry missed the responses here somehow.... Scotty not sure....but I do know I'm not a qualified mechanic for ICE cars either Nissan would no doubt tell you that you need specialist training and tools, but in practice the only high voltage stuff is charger inlet at front to charger under rear parcel shelf to batteries under floor to motor. Everything is very obvious, large orange cables, and there is a built in kill switch in the rear floor that disconnects the battery. everything else is just normal mechanical stuff anyway. Those running costs are for a 30klm daily round trip, plus whatever trips on the weekend - it's been excellent. Justin the issue for charging on the road is not so much the available power but the actual charging unit. a fast charger runs to $20k plus so there is no business case to put one in. There are portable 15A or 10A (which comes with the car) but that means waiting for hours. Have confirmed unfortunately through multiple sources that the nismo ECU is not an option or Aus spec cars....so will be waiting some time for the chance for more powah 10,000klm service this week, fixed price $89.12

yeah they are the main 2 organisers for supersprints; between them they run about 10 a year, how many do you need?!?

Can't do much better than 1st Chris, well done. Mazman were you running? how did you go? Maybe you need more tyre, not less boost Also best wishes to the competitor who was airlifted, no doubt hillclimbs can be dangerous, but I guess that is what makes them challenging.

btw very interested in this option too...anyone used this style? I like the price, small size, and don't care it might be slow when it's not used that often..... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Rivnut-Rivetnut-Nutsert-Fitting-tool-M4-M5-M6-Kit-car-rivet-nut-special-insert-/171218249071?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item27dd67256f

everywhere man, they are the coolest of the cool tools. basically they insert a knurled nut into sheet metal so you can fix a bolt into it. mostly m6 ones for holding race car stuff in place, although I wouldn't trust them for anything serious. I'm looking for one too...but would prefer the type shorter type with handles that turn rather than the style Dale posted which require a lot of clearance to use. One like this: http://www.wurth.co.uk/hand-tools/riveting/rivet-nut-tools/ratchet-rivetnut-gun-kit, or possibly the one rob posted, I've never seen/used that style

Those sway bars were all custom made by Sydneykid (Gary) when he was the owner of Selbys, so that is why they wouldn't have a number for them. Those links however are not stagea specific so Selbys probably still carry the links and know what the correct bushes are. Just measure the inner and outer diameter of the bush, and how wide it is, and try again with those measurements. If Selby's aren't interested in helping (sound like they might not be if they didn't ask you to measure them), you can try any local bush manufacturer, those are pretty generic.

wow great effort, well done Nissan jp!

Due to an ordering mistake I've got a set of Dunlop Sport Maxx TT tyres for sale. These are an excellent road tyre, runners up in the motor mag tyre test 2012, more details on them here: http://www.dunloptyres.com.au/dotCMS/TyreDetailAction?website=DUN&websegmentcode=PASSENGER&mtpcode=00780&from=nPerPage Size is 225/55R17 which will fit a 6-8" wide 17" rim. Brand new, still got the stickers on them Price is $1000 firm, I'm losing on these so grab a bargain. Happy to sort out delivery in Sydney or Canberra, but sorry no postage.

Just because a thread is old, it'a no less true....I've had a powerFC in mine for years (s1 converted manual). Yes there was some stuff around with a couple of wires, and no I don't have the exact details. But a competent workshop could work it out

Thanks Dean, picked this up today...good seller

Seriously mate, did you read the highlighted and pinned thread at the top of the forum where you posted 6 times? http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/279306-where-did-my-thread-go/ ! I've approved the first one you posted, now go and build that car!

ahh good point, I was using one for a pressure sender (obviously pressure is the same everywhere, but temp needs to be near flowing oil to be accurate)

something like this is the easy way to do it at the standard temp sender location: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LMA-Oil-Pressure-Gauge-50mm-Long-T-Piece-Race-Rally-Motorsport-/310846011316?pt=UK_Car_Parts_Vehicles_Automobila_ET&var=&hash=item485fddb7b4 Just check that there will be clearance for the fitting + the 2 senders down there. It's generally easier to put in filter relocation kit with extra ports for senders, you get the benefit of a much easier to change filter as well! And easier plumbing for a oil cooler too

I'd love to claim credit, but Hills did my Stagea's air box that way, and I've been stealing the idea ever since

Blek it was pretty straightforward to install, the wiring is actually marked on the rear of the cluster so I just intercepted the signal on the way into the dash. AFAIK in most of these cars the signal goes from gearbox to dash and then everywhere else (eg ECU and cruise control) so the dash is a good place to intercept. The only thing to be aware of is that the link I posted is a kit, so you will need a soldering iron and some patience to put it together. I'd normally prefer to just change tyre size (am doing that in the leaf ATM to fix the same issue) but that's expensive if you aren't already due for new tyres anyway.

virtual lap of the track

just use the small diameter split loom tube to finish the cut edges of the airbox, its easy, cheap and looks good

I suspect it's not that easy....in Oz Govt eyes the manufacturer is the RAWS that complied it, not Nissan. In any case, I am not aware of an English workshop manual for R32 GTST. He can't be the first person in the state that has requested a 32 GTST exemption, is re-using existing information out of the question?

I don't have stock wheels and tyres, but they are about the standard diameter and my speedo was also reading about 10% over. I put on of these in the car (tapped in near the dash): http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=KC5435 BTW ADRs specify a speedo must be between 0 and 10% over actual speed....how crap is that?!?

yeah that was my understanding too....need to change mine as well.

the story you were told makes absolutely no sense. maybe report it to the store manager transmax Z is not a Nissan fluid, it is a fluid that can be used in nissans or other suitable vehicles

thread moved to correct forum

Interesting question....yes in theory all you have to do is swap in the diff centre from the 33. There was apparently some trouble with fitting the centre into the 34 sump I bought due to clearance to the cover, will be interested to hear how you go.

I'm intrigued why you don't want a dog box if it is mostly a track car.......not only is the engagement much quicker, it is one of the few ways they can strengthen a gearset.

yep, but the point is ADRs require self levelling and washers, and these cars don't have them...so xenons have to be removed you should be able to put a normal halogen in them easily, it would have been done at compliance and maybe reversed since. or if you know it was not done at compliance get them to do it for you
