  1. About 1350 i believe adrian. (100 less than attessa equipped which are supposedly 1450)
  2. One thing ive learnt about my zilla is that you can have alot of fun at the peak of its limits, but push it over the boundary and you get bitten. I'm ready for the track, but my vehicle isnt in my opinon. Plus its a long walk home
  3. Hmmm, http://esvc000868.wic023u.server-web.com/Fuels_Data_Sheets/MSDS%20E85%20Fuel%20Ethanol.pdf
  4. Only pussies use brakes anyway right? The 33 is looking good by the way Josh
  5. Interior looks shmick mate. Im still waiting for some nismo belt pads that were ordered months ago. Ive found that they just get in the way anyway and can make the belts retract less easier.
  6. Standard 32 anchors.. Probably a bad idea. I'll definitely be there to spectate though. I'll take my old mans ute so there will be a uteload of space for anyones track essentials like tyres, jerry cans etc.
  7. I recall a few years ago I was driving with a friend down near west lakes when the footy was on and among the 1000's of cars parked along a main road, I spotted a white VR/VS with the keys in the drivers side door lock (only noticed due to the bright green lanyard hanging off the keys. I told her to pull over and I ran across the road, took the keys out and put them in the front wheel arch on the tyre, hoping that the owner would notice them there but no one else would.. I wonder how close I was to getting spear tackled onto the bonnet and taken off to explain how I was "just trying to make sure no one would steal the car" haha
  8. Thanks to all the sau people who wished me a happy birthday today. I'n having a bit of a get- together on friday at the worldsend. Whoever wants to come down for a drink and a yarn is more than welcome http://m.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=244390255598440&refid=25
  9. Did a tutorial on actually getting to the g-sensor the other day. Here's the link if anyone is interested.. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/376142-r32-gt-r-lateral-g-sensor-check-and-more/
  10. Seems like the right idea. When they did my power fc we had some dramas with the boost control kit, so gareth put a manual bleed valve on and had it on and off the dyno in a matter of minutes! We had gone through alot of s**t and it was a dream come true to finally have the car running tip top. Above all that, no charge for dyno and i had to make gareth take a $50 note for the bleed valve! 10/10! Back onto topic.. R32 GT-R factory front grille still for sale.. $150 (silver, perfect condition) Also SRI hicas lock bar and bypass hose kit to suit s13/r32 Unused, still wrapped.. $100
  11. Sounds good jenna only problem is I'm relying on my standard boost gauge. I need to figure out how to accurately set it to hold 1 bar on my 26
  12. my 32 does the jerky thing sometimes (feels like the handbrake is being pulled on for a split second) but 4wd light doesn't come on during driving. Only sometimes upon startup. I would suggest clean AFM's..
  13. Hey everyone, I hope this can help anyone who is unsure and a bit precarious as to ripping their lovely interior in half like I was! The car involved in this topic in my 1993 R32 GT-R, which sometimes when parked on an abnormal surface would run in RWD and without ABS upon startup. This was confirmed by the warning lights on the dash and different driving/handling behaviour. I am sure that the 33/34 variants would be much similar and I hope that all GT-R owners can gain something from this, whether it be a few handy hints or a big wad of dollars kept in the pocket While undergoing the task of examining my G-sensor I had a few other things to do with the interior, so I hope my pictures and instructions can help all of you with other duties such as: Removal of Climate Control Surround Replacement of Rubber Gearbox Boot Replacement of Power Source/Cigarette Lighter Access and (self-undertaken) Removal of Triple Guage Cluster Replacement of Triple Guage Cluster Front Cover Access and (self-undertaken) Removal of Standard Cassette Radio Removal of Centre Console To start off you will need to arm yourself with: A few different size screwdivers (all phillips head type) A pen torch/head light Patience Okay so the first step is to remove the ashtray, very simple procedure. Open the lid and pull it back towards you. Use the ashtray as a sealed container for the 30+ screws you're going to pull out. Once ashtray is out, put your hand in there and curl your fingers over where you will feel the retainer for the gearshift boot. Like So.. Apply some force, don't be scared! It will feel like its going to snap but it will just pop up out of position, I simply pulled it up above the gear lever at this time but if you are replacing the Gearshift Boot, remove it now and install the new one at the final stage of the task. By now you will have an idea of all the unbolting that needs to take place. The rubber gearbox boot shoulds be visible and there will be a grotty oil smell in the cabin but while you're here, double check the rubber boot itself isnt perished, and replace if necessary. Otherwise the smell won't go away. The next picture shows some wiring, the orange loom is for the power source/cigarette lighter. This should now be unplugged .. The red wire wasn't attached to anything on my car and it's not hurting anyone so I just let it sit there. The Black one will not need unplugging and can be tucked away a bit more to allow freer hand movement in the crevice. Now you should be able to feel some flex and movement in the Climate Control Surround. Ensure that the clips either side of the gearshift are popped out first as you will find it does not want to move otherwise. This part is a little bit fiddly and it's up to you how and where you apply the force to physically remove the surround. When it is free, DO NOT try to rip it away from the original position! It is still attached at one point. The easiest way to fully remove it is to sit in the drivers seat (as you would be anyway) bring the steering wheel to its highest and furthest position, and gently turn the surround 90 degrees towards you and place in on your lap. Notice the very important looking hose still connected. Unscrew it.. This is what you should be looking at when focused on the ashtrays mounting position.. Now that you have all this space to drop things into, place some material like a tea towel or pillow case to catch any falling objects, much easier than trying to fit your hand into that dark nasty place.. You should be able to locate all of the screws required dependant on what you are trying to achieve. I used this opportunity to replace my cracked Triple Guage Cluster front cover. Hint : CAREFULLY take the climate control face off and give it a wipe down on the inside. You take pride in your vehicle right? CAREFULLY place it back on! If you snap the edges on the climate control face dont freak out as the surround will hold it in flush once put back together, but be prepared to pay a few quid for a replacement if you are picky. Same goes for triple gauge cover.. This is about the point where you might start to think your pride and joy will resemble that old gemmy you had when you were 16 and the stereo sat in the passengers lap, but dont give up Now for the Removal of the Centre Console. You will know just by being a driver of this type of vehicle where the screws are (the awkward ones with little black covering next to the drivers left leg support and the knee pad) Repeat process for passenger side but dont forget the one in the glovebox! Lastly, the two screws at the rear of the centre console are easily removed by extending the passenger seat as forward as possible.. Carefully lift and remove the centre console, and you will see the Lateral G-Sensor safely nestled in the centre of the tunnel. DO NOT TOUCH, MODIFY, POKE, PROD, STAB, OR SNEEZE NEAR IT. A genuine nissan item allegedly costs 2k to replace, but if it looks like this : You can carefully repeat all these steps in reverse. The sticker on the sensor is pretty self explanatory. If it indicates red, well let's not go there.. Thanks for reading and enjoy your lovely balanced vehicles

  15. After taking delivery of some large bulky items I am now left with what seems like a squared kilometre of bubble wrap I don't want anything for it but anyone who sells and posts alot of of fragile parts might make goold use of it, if interested pm me and we can sort out a time to come and pick it up
  16. Care to elaborate more on the duties/requirements of the job? I have a friend with HC and he is passionate about anything powered by a motor. He also has a good knowledge of the road/layout of adelaide (if that's what you meant in the intital post) Does the potential employee need to have a wealthy knowledge of imports? Or just a penchant (I believe that is the word you meant) haha.
  17. And then for some strange reason, at some point after these mods 200kw just wont satisfy any more. Keep in mind that everything else on the car will need replacing/upgraded sooner or later if the power output is increased significantly. Once you make the decision to modify your car, there is no turning back. Just a warning haha
  18. A 2012 variant? No it means take the 180 out! I DOUBLE dare ya haha
  19. Got a better shot of the front with new Karbonetic bits Im thinking vents next, but is there such thing as too much carbon? Haha a front end smash would involve tears I think!

  23. Industrial side of port adelaide is a classic. Other options are vine st, prospect for a more urban approach, china town, or there are a couple of small cliffside carparks down south, just follow the coastline
