damn, it is perfect stagea weather for outside. unfortunately my turbo shit itself so car is off the road still, it would be great to see some Stageas out, it is a sensible cruise and the whole family would enjoy it.

Great to see this event coming along, I'll be there for sure.

I'm looking forward to the Skyline Nationals, will be there for sure. Support the not-for-profit club event Not the other one.

This issue has been reported twice but is not in the first post, and is still a major PITA. Please push it towards the top of the list to resolve as it stops people receiving useful notifications if they are not actively on the board.

Are you in any particular town or country? Have you considered the wanted to buy forum? standard or aftermarket? why do you only need one?

correct...so the question is...does your car have a rear wiper? I think it was most likely changed as it was leaking as Adam said BTW I think it is optimistic at best to suggest no ABS is better for street (or even rally use). Maybe for an experienced driver on a race track, but that is about the only time.

Good work guys, the forums look good. Only one thing I noted, but it's a big one - no email notifications being sent. it looks like notification preferences were not migrated as most of them were turned off.

but if you did feel like trusting it...it is perfectly normal for it to go up with revs - the faster you rev the quicker the oil pump spins, pushing more oil.

nice! that's one down to be honest though, I can see why they aren't that common

mmm I am never letting my nismo dash and EJ-1 go....they will have to be prised out of my cold, dead hands. While looking through FAST today to see if you can buy side skirt clips seperately (you can't ), I found some other wierd options......lets see if we can dig up cars/pics of them in real life: Incase you forget what the car is called. Also proves to bystanders it is not a volvo Nissan stripes....much cooler than nismo stripes For the brand concious father Yes, you don't need to buy an M35 to get ugly plastic wheel flares Momo/recaro branded seats and mats WTF? Factory options remember! Super clock to replace the factoy clock (I think there are pics earlier in this thread) Luggage fan to keep that glass area all smelling the same For stageas that mine that spend too long off the road. Yes a factory cover, complete with nissan badge Who would have ordered this? Really lazy japanese blokes which such bad luck they are always changing tyres???? And the big daddy...your own stagea tent annex

Hi mate, I picked up the laptop at ht, about 1500 http://www.ht.com.au/list.hts?keyword=6560b. It's not cheap (although not horribly expensive either), I travel a lot and learned years ago to buy something that is a bit better built. This one seems pretty good. The fact it had a serial port is what sealed it for me....so much easier dealing with 80s car technology if you have a serial port on board. Re running on windows 7 64bit, it just would not work. I installed it a couple of times and it kept complaining about not being able to find TABCTL32.OCX I was running it on a 32bit virtual session in 64bit windows for a while, until I tried running it as "Administrator". Since I changed that setting it has worked fine on win 64bit. Right click on FC-Edit.exe, go to the Compatibility tab, and turn on the Run as Administrator check box at the bottom of the screen.

sorry, I don't know about the ritmo adapter.... but I can report i am happily running Datalogit on Win7 64 bit on a brand new HP Probook 6560b which I was surprised to find sitting in a shop with an old fashioned serial port on the back!

lol. the shame. that's twice this week I've been wrong Unless I've missed the point, the altima is a fwd shitbox that is going to replace maxima in the road going line up? The replacement for a bluebird...or a 200b? I wonder if nissan oz are aware of a model in their JDM lineup called "skyline"

if the tow truck can get close it is pretty simple....they can just drag in on the chassis rails. You may want to protect whatever surface it is on with wooden boards or similiar alternatively, 2 trolley jacks (1 at either end) will let you roll and empty shell, they are pretty light. Just take it slowly

nasty....at least the stages was close enough to rescue the trailer. funnily enough the stagea pulled the foulcan up catherine hill too. but i bet a foulcan motor is shitloads cheaper than a stagea, or even a q7 motor.

what was the deal? I figure one or both turbo's boost control was farked

Ahh OK, now I understand. Makes more sense too Well, I've seen it done 3 ways: Unplug the switch in the dash Unplug the wiring to the globe Cut the power wire for the light. Depending on the original compliancer's level of laziness it could be any. Certainly there is no "official" way to disable them, they just can't work after compliance. I would start with the engine bay, simply because it is easiest. There will be 2 sets of wires going to the headlight, one for the main, one for the fog lights. Most likely the second is unplugged or cut. Sorry I don't have my car handy here to check, it is in original JDM spec as it was never complied

Unlikely that they bothered with seperate wiring....so if you pull the adm dash is there still plugs in place? Does the ADM have the switches or a blank.

BTW, anyone who has standard power up to "usual" mods or even higher....don't read all this and think you need to spend money on brakes. If you are getting fade with anything under about 300+kw at Wakefield, what you really need is better tyres, less braking, and more corner speed. So instead of eyeing off that $8k AP racing kit, buy a set of semi slicks like federal fz201 instead.

people almost always use the compound of the rear pad to even out inherant inbalances in the braking system. In my case I can't even remember what was in the rear, some pagids or sbs I guess, but they are much less aggressive. In a reasonably standard skyline brake system I would put something less aggressive in the front. If you want to stay with hawk I would go HT-10.

hmm i think the car is the problem there....but the good news is blown turbo means no more excuses to keep the standard one. It will wake right up if it has more than 150rwkw.....

you won't cause any damage hooking the lines around the wrong way (I'd know lol)

Yes I have, and they were the best (ie most effective) race pads I have used, they are top notch. Under the old race rules we had to run standard brakes, so I had to try heaps of different pads to find the ones that work best. I stopped looking after I tried the Hawk DT60. Those are Hawk HT60 on the front.... I got mine from Matt at Race Brakes Sydney for a good price. I understand Neil is also running these in his race car too.

I'll be doing putty rd again, it's a good day out.

That's what I did. Just be absolutely certain engouh thread remains....I go by 1.5x the width of the thread.
