was the n1 pump the cause or the symtom of the failure? anyway, I run a nitto pump now, it has survived 3 rebuilds with just a clean and re-assembly. It provides a little too much pressure per rev until the releif valve opens but that is better than less. If you fit one make sure you run oil restrictors to the head and turbos

In and paid,.....will be great Jimmy we love you jimmy!

don't space up the rer of the bonnet, that i s just a silly ricer fad. the rear of the bonnet is a high pressure area so it acts as an intake not an exhaust for air. have a look where nascars run their airbox intake....bottom of the windscreen

did they actually defect you? no such thing as "positive" rebound...there is only rebound and bump. or compression and extension. or whatever. but not positive rebound

absolutely correct. 32 gtr has no engine light so PFC uses the cat temp light for all functions like knock, sensor out of range etc etc

don't do anything to the r33. use it on the road where it is meant to be. spend 6 months saving and building the car you bought as a race car, keep it simple and reliable as possible. once it is fixed, do lots of track days, lots of practice

that is very sad to hear. I've got 6 stands of that style....not sure if the recall relates to a manufacturing issue in their product, or a general issue with that ratcheting style?

I've done this before with no issues. But replacement parts would be even better

maybe the seals on one of those connecting holes is blown. btw why did a "mechanic" put more than 2l of oil in a transfer case?

Yeah my gtr race car is insured with shannons for $35k agreed. It is on a limited klm (less than 5000klm) policy and comes in at a couple of hundred a year from memory. And I have claimed a windscreen on it a few years back no problems

I have run both but am not sure my results are typical. I've been assured the pads are very similar, and I used them in slightly different setups on the same car....but I found the ht10 terrible and the dtc60 excellent (see avatar.....). Maybe iI was above the upper limit of the ht10 but under the limit for dtc60. In any case, I would buy the dtc60 again in a heartbeat if they made them for my current caliper....the dtc60 in gtr brembos gave me better fade resistance and feel than my current porsche brembo/sbs dual carbon setup which is a fiar bit larger.

thanks for clarifying stu

just a baseless assumption, based on the number of cars in aus and how long they have been sitting around.

um yeah I got there but the injectors peaked at 99%. Probably smarter to stop at 235/240ish. I'm putting gtr injectors in now to get plenty of headroom

lol my paint skills are leet

nope...for some unknown reason that is how nissan made it!

yeah that was right Liz....no idea where I got malaysia???

thanks, that makes perfect sense this doesn't....is it genuine? the one that was allocated to Australia was complied by Powerplay Imports when new under SEVS, was here for a while and then was exported to Malaysia. If it's the same car maybe it was allowed back into the country because it had originally been complied?

how could that car possibly be in the country and complied for road use? it is not new so not eligible for sevs import.

Thanks Dave, that was very helpful. None the less....I have reached a dead end and despite my initial plans I am not going to pursue this further. Basically Fair Trading put me on to the fuel testing guys, but they do not beleive the sample will be accepted as valid because I have not stored it properly (water bottle, not cleaned out, stored in sunlight). I would suggest anyone else who has a similar issue keep a good fuel sample in a proper fuel safe container, and have it tested ASAP after the issue. I left this too long, bad luck for me.

would love to get another one sorted....chasing something now but in the past our bookings for wsid have been rejected

meh webbers not going to get any points either. he is unmatched in ability to go backwards from his qualifying position.....must have more reverse gears than forward

not my understanding....AFAIK sevs always requires new tyres. there may be some other imports like rally use, pre 88 or personal imports where they only have to be "roadworthy" were DOT would be OK.

it is definately an "expected" amount for a standard car.
