Hope all is well with John, Tim and Co.

where am I gonna take my car now, they know it all too well :)

Huge fire started in the hoby shop and appears dodgy wiring from previous tenants started it. Doubling up multiple double adapters in a sealed front cabinet. The intense heat actually bent huge RSGs where the main fire was in the hoby shop which relocated early this year to the opposite end of the building upstairs.

Our office was fairly dry from water from above just wet on floor there so lucky I guess. Paul your car was one of the first out.

Late yesterday have the phones working although operating from dyno room. Showroom power should be up today and workshop not too far behind. Our side of the building is OK structrally although may be some distruption whilst building above. The engineers are coming today to check it out and advise and a chance they may have to fence it all off which will be very bad.

So phones working, fax working, and workshop operating in part out of dyno room mainly, until power comes back on. Orders being processed from today. Thanks for everyones support. We will only be bigger and better after this and keep smiling.

My sister is constantly doing deliveries to the printers in that same complex and told me about it. She gave me the same information that John has posted, possible dodgy wiring within the hobby shop's premises. Apparently the current owner of the hobby shop was emotionally gutted as he had a lot of personal items stored there, including some models he had built when he was young(er)...

She took this shot of the place and sent it to me. Not a great shot because it's from a phone, but it gives you some idea...

Good to hear it's had minimal effect on UAS, John.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
