Arrrrr. That be unburnt fuel be burning in the zorst. It be good fun me hearties!

Definitely Terry at Award Gearboxes and Diffs in Seven hills. They do a heap of skyline stuff, I've had them do 2 diffs and 3 gearboxes over the years. Cheap, good, no bullshit.

No need to replace them, mobile regassing guys can just regas what you have already.

well the blitz coilovers are OK, in that they are monotube, not twin tube. But I think they are a generic brand with a blitz sticker on them these days. I have a set in my leaf and they seem good for daily use. swaybars on the other hand I can't really help. Most cars here use a local brand, whiteline. Cusco is the only jp brand I am really familiar with, they make a nice, light bar but are not adjustable so you have to choose the right one when you purchase welcome to the world of skylines

funny you should say that; I spent last weekend planting veggies up here in 31 degree heat.... Is it right there are 2 long weekends in a row, 2 weeks from now?

meh I'm willing a couple of bucks for a new race track. Crowdfunding site is here: http://gogetfunding.com/project/casar-park-community-motor-sport-facility. I've just booked into their first track day. CAMS article on the track is here: http://www.cams.com.au/media/news/latest-news/creating-casar-park

all sorted now, turns out a lot of the Nissan dealers think they can't do imports just got a local guy back home to do the discs and turn the light out at the same time. it was an AFM warning but I am 99% sure it was only because I unplugged it while f**king around with the headlights BTW is it me or did winter just start again?

where do I send my $10? Ready and waiting

if you've got doubts about it, just don't do any launches and take gear changes a bit easier (ie don't power shift). Most driveline shock happens when you suddenly put power through it rather than just accelerating in gear.

not dummies. we've just had 2 really wet years followed by an upcoming hot summer. they need to do something before it gets very serious later in the year

hope you get it back on track quickly to get some seat time. surely fatz has about 80 axles you could choose from

you know...I might just have been unlucky, but I have one of those, not too much use (just home, not workshop) and it is leaking. Really not what I was expecting for the price.

Paid for Kel and I this morning....sorry for being late

ahh cool, I assumed it was knock off software. I'll give it a go I think.

local retail on the HKS link is $229. I'll check a jp price at that cost. I've not had any luck with an ELM/Bluetooth adapter on any import. Scott, is the software for the china-sult all English? ie can work through everything, just not intuitive? How well does it support the range of settings in each car that you have tried?

That's a damn good question - I lost an (expensive) engine when the shop removed the screen from the filter, and a cam baffle bolt came loose and made it's way into the pump intake.

cool I'll give phillip a go

are either Nissan dealer in town OK? that would be a quick way to get a consult on the car?

yeah I had the same with my Bluetooth ODB, I think the Cima has JODB not ODB2. Thanks anyway

thanks re rotor pro, I'll give them a bell. For the ecu talk, is it consult (right) or ODB (left)? I need ODB

not mostly....but Nick (Blitz) who was working for UAS at the time, and who mentioned the theft, is still around....in fact i'm surprised he hasn't dropped in here yet. I am not sure the details in that thread are for the same car, the way I read it there are 2 cars and the macchina one went missing. Incidentally it may also have been recovered, I know a bunch of stuff from UAS and another NSW shop were recovered in Melbourne around that time.

just a wild theory. but ironically a search says I may have been on track: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/41500-group-a-gtr/?hl=%2Bmacchina#entry851990

yeah that is frustrating. I can connect the Leaf but neither the Cube nor Cima work, they must be too old for ODB2. PITA Speaking of the Cima it finally arrived on the weekend, drove it down today (goes great, it's like cruising on a lounge chair). . But...there are 2 problems: * check engine light is on (goes fine though) * front brakes need machining Is there a workshop in Canberra who aren't afraid of imports and have a consult 3 or similar tool that can turn the light off, and can machine discs? I'd prefer to get both sorted this week if possible.

you mean to fit 275/35/18 on the stock 18x9" rims? That is safe fitment (ie 275 on 9" rim). Sorry I am not sure if 275 will create a clearance problem to the upper arm if stock offset, but it is only 1.5cm wider each side. If it does rub add some slip on spacers for a few weeks until you get the proper fitment wheels

I've been around since the olden days, and don't remember this car at all. Perhaps it was stolen and not recovered, it did happen to a few gtrs back then?
