how odd.

Most ECUs can deal with different AFMs so that's not a big deal. Basically any tuneable ECU will be fine including Nistune, Power FC (I'm using this on mine), Link etc etc. The thing to watch out for cost wise is weather they have a plug in for the head (and loom) you have because wire in can be expensive.

jeebus. lucky they were little

oh, and while we are at it.....an electric Radical SR8

indeed not that you would pick them as gtrs since the 33 shape. Here is some info on the USA situation: http://vehicleimport.blogspot.com.au/2011/03/state-titled-nissan-skyline-gets-seized.html and here: http://forums.nicoclub.com/so-you-want-to-buy-a-skyline-in-the-us-t159216.html

Very interesting idea for people wondering if a Leaf could work for their lifestyle; rent one for a week http://cloud9cars.com.au/ Frankly, I'm enjoying spending $8per week on power instead of $80pw for petrol

what width and offset are they, and can you post a pic of the dent?

yeah that yanks don't understand and never had them imported except tiny volumes, there are a fair few GTRs in Canada because they also had a 15 year import rule. Actually if I remember correctly there was 1 company importing small volumes to the US and they got shut down (and not replaced) after some sort of dodgy stuff they are very well known in Japan, Australia, UK and known in SE Asia and Europe. Not much from North America, they seem to think cars require v8s to be interesting

haha good call. some jobs are always better to have someone else do!

I run mine a little higher than stock and have no issues. It's nice not to worry about parking, gutters, driveways, speedhumps etc What sort of problems were you thinking?

Uh-oh. But what is a GDE?

Farking. Cold AND foggy. You guys have it all!

You need the loom that matches the externals and sensors, and they all go in the head. So pick on that matches your head (c34 stagea?) Having said that, looms can be modified if required. You really need to change the ECU when you change to a 3l bottom end because the airflow will be very different, so buy an ECU that fits into your engine loom (although again, the loom can be modified for a different ECU, and many ECUs are total wire in anyway)

and where we find out if Shell hit a roo? weird place. roadkill seems to be the common thread?

It's just a boring 1700kg, 80kw hatchback. On eco tyres. What's to fear? BTW, what is facebook?

soooooooo.....did anyone get the result sheets?

Here are my tips: 1) use 2 jacks. that lets you change the angle of the gearbox as required 2) make sure the rear of the motor is as low as possible. ie the rear of the head should be resting on the firewall 3) it will not go on the right way around. you will always need to twist it so that the starter motor housing clears the body. Once it has cleared you twist it back around to straight 4) the gearbox angle and motor angle must match perfectly. this is the biggest tip! 5) if they are lined up properly and not popping in, you may need to rotate the gears a little. this is because the splines on the input shaft have to match the splines on the clutch. this bit is luck! If you need to turn the gears a little put it in a short gear and turn the tailshaft or rear wheels (assuming they are off the ground!) 6) the gearbox angle and motor angle must match. I know I already said that but it's important! as you get closer it gets much easier to judge by how the flywheel compares to the front of the bellhousing. If the gap is bigger at the top vs bottom or right vs left it is not straight enough. 7) because of the spline alignment luck (#5) it generally goes in with a little clunk. When you hear that you have won! 8) once the box is within 2-5cm you can help it in using a big g clamp or 2 between the block and bellhousing. Once you are that close the input shaft is lined up OK and it is just the final adjustments. Never never force the box when the gap is large because you can bend the gearbox input shaft, which f**ks it. good luck!

On the bumper sticker? Bathurst. Why cop shop

mmm Sutton rd before that we had to hire oran park's skid pan.

Neither was at fault, it happened on a race track, each driver is responsible for their own damage. Like Pete said, it does deserve a punch up in the pits though. And whoever was running the day did not brief and monitor their drivers properly.

Gary's thread is right, he knows his shit. It's the 300 pages since then that confuse things

that car looks slow and boring

lol that's why m35s look so fat....they chomp on c34s!

Thanks to the organisers today, it was a great run, hassle free and quick turnarounds. Also thanks because it must have sucked standing out in the rain in the arvo. And....especially thanks to Nick and family for providing some juice last night....we made it home with 8% battery left (HEAPS!)

morning. skids today. anyone else coming along?
