  1. Depends on your suburb mate. Shannons have categories for on the street parking, driveway/carport and LUG. If you tick to many boxes/don't tick enough they won't offer insurance. They had a Volvo 240 parked on the street at redfern- the premium was over $1500 from memory. More than the car.....
  2. 0.35BAR or 5psi. Exactly what HKS set the External gate too.
  3. Bit of progress today. A couple of days ago I re-flashed the ECU. Just with the stock values, but with the throttle restriction removed, Speed limited to 300km/h, and a little adjustment of the rev limit/fuel cut/ throttle cut. All went successfully. I have been having a problem with the ECU learning some strange fuel settings on closed loop. Basically what was happening was that on closed loop, Bank 2 was running a lot richer than Bank 1. it was about 80%/120% ratio. It didn't occur when the ECU was just fresh, but when it had driven for ~150kms, and the ECU learnt it. At the time it was stock ecu, not re-flashed at all. When it went open loop, it was fine. It spat a U1000 error, which is CAN bus error. Now nothing is wrong with the CAN bus, but what triggers that code, is when the ECU doesn't receive data from the emissions diagnostics for more than 2 seconds. So I went searching today- first port of call the bank 2 wideband sensor. When I pulled it apart it seemed ok, but the little rubber thingo in there wasn't sitting quite right so I pushed it all the way to the bottom, cleaned the plugs out and reconnected it. Also found a nipple in the intake tubes wasn't tight, so tightened that up. Anyways, the problem is absent now, I haven't put that many kms on it yet since the last "clear learned fuel" but I am optimistic that it will stay away. Idle is nice and smooth now, and while there is a little inconsistency,its not much, and doesn't appear when the car is at cruise with light throttle. I want to know that the problem is gone, before I proceed with 600cc Injectors and fuel pump and tuning, as that would just exasperate the issue. Also wired up my boost gauge, so now I know wtf is going on at night too!
  4. Nick, if its any consolation- I drove up to Dubbo via BLoR on Aust Day. Really shocking weather over the mountains, rain and low visibility. When we were going down into lithgow, everyone was flashing their lights in the oppo direction. Came round the corner and at the bottom of one of the steep bits was a Shitter Commo, like a old VR or something, embedded in the armco almost off the edge of the drop. Had a trailer with two trailbikes on board.... All occupants were out of the car and safe, towies on the scene. Obviously cold tyres ....
  5. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/390604-fs-stock-bodykit-stock-exhaust/
  6. Sounds like one of my efforts in helping Craig! I heard he sends them off to NZ to "Sidius", who, with ample supply of protein shakes, is able to wrench pianos in and out just with his left ass cheek. Don't tell anyone but...
  7. Disconnect, then make contact (and the pump will run), disconnect then make contact etc etc...
  8. AR-X = Almighty Retarded Xanthodont
  9. You know what I'm going to say don't you! Great to see some of you pm35 guys showing up on here. Glad to have some company!
  10. Exciting news! UPREV have patched my ECU. It now appears on the webpage for supported vehicles. I received an email for Mark @ Abbey Motorsports in the UK telling me of the good news. I now have a tunable ECU map, a "back to stock" map. Now I just have to pay up, refresh my licence arrangements, and I'll be tunable!
  11. Meanwhile near Byron Bay....
  12. Hey Champ. Don't worry. Disconnecting will do sweet FA to clear codes. But you did reset your radio pre-sets if that's any consolation.... As said before, if he turned it on with the AFM unplugged, it'd throw a CEL. That will disapear, but if you want to reset: ALSO- while I have your attention. They are notoriously hard to bleed the coolant system. There is a bleed, drivers side, near the back of the motor in a heater hose (Phillips head plug). Do you have a hot heater?- best to ask your mech if he opened the bleed and got the coolant flowing. http://www.6mt.net/forum/performance-mods/2833-easy-ecu-reset-procedures.html
  13. If for real, please do a build thread. its doable-
  14. 1st thought was LS1, then I thought 1UZ. Can't be RB26dett, unless its a RB30 - front sump I think, right? RIPS RB30 maybe? Rotor would be cool - 20B with a HUGE snail- and a 6 spd. Cummins Diesel- FUUUULLLLLLLL PPPPUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL cause blowing smoke gets the girls wet...
  15. What if your diffs are stock.....
  16. Bluefin re-tune Work mate did this to his TDI golf, very easy to use- might be worth a look.
  17. Its a 350z, but same thing- except your steering is udder side mounts are the two circle things, that are missing
  18. That was quick! Needs moar low
  19. 225 is perfectly acceptable. Just don't buy shit tyres. I have 225/40/19. 8.5 rims, a "little" stretch , just to help the look.
  20. Trick for new players- do up your trans cooler clamps tight when they are nice and hot! I played Hansel and Gretel all round Sydney with Matic J yesterday. Anyways, noticed a puddle in the garage this arvo, sorted it out. Thought it was engine oil to start with, glad it wasn't! Now have a nice layer of underbody rust protection!
  21. I spotted it getting the last once over. Must have gone soon after. I should have dropped in and said goodbye to her!
