lol, yeah, its reasonably obvious. im probably going to move it to the side of the steering column.

also, im fairly sure the wheels poking out the guards, the lack of ground clearance, large (for oem) rear spoiler, velo fixed back and mad fluttaz will be more a reason to defect me...

Dave just do what i have done set up two micro switches, one for the back lighting (so you can turn it off on long night drives as they are pretty bright) and the other is a cop switch that turns off my boost controller and all my gauges. i put the switches under the dash with the remote peak recall switches that come with the STRI gauges.

Back light on;

are you allowed to mount gauges there ?

probably not.

nope it is in the "break away zone" Anything that is not a standard part of the dash is an instant defect.. sadly enough I was questioned about it in 2 cars I have owned but both were let go because of being in small car sunday.

Best to mount them looking as standard as possible to the dash.. im designing up something for a 33/32 dash at the moment for 3 gauges will keep you up to date with it.

....an Evo 8 hehe.

Nice 1. My mrs business partner had an EVO 9 and now has an EVO 10 (blue with EVO O10 plate) and they're great cars. :P

Just realised it was my 1272th post.... so here's another pic of my hand built Neve 1272 clone:

stop encouraging the man to buy sensible cars.

i rely on chef to show me wierd n wonderful cars that we dont normally see in the land of oz like that new school cedric, not these aus delivered automobiles. you've changed man, it used to be about the cars. now its just about making money it seems :P

i cant see someone in their right mind buying the cube but wouldnt mind taking a look at 1 :down:

Hehehe don't worry Dan, plenty more potential for weird and wonderful cars. I just got the Vauxhall Insignia on the SEVS list last week - Google the VX-R model and see why :happy:

The goal with the Evo 8 is to give it a jolly good thrashing - I'd originally planned to do that with the N1, but it's a bit too special for that kind of thing. It is a JDM one by the way. I've already been shopping for new rims for it lol.

AWD, V6 Turbo. win! Doesn't look too bad, bit of a lower and maybe new rims and it will be much much better.

id drive that as is looks pretty sweet, would be scared of something breaking and needing to do some crazy hunting for parts though.

but very nice how much

curious every time you bring 1 of these cars in, does it trigger in your head like you've just unlocked a new car in Forza :happy:

congratulations! you have unlocked Cedric Y34

For those interested, having considered a Nissan Cube, another Y34 Cedric/Gloria, an M35 Stagea and a F50 Cima, and having nearly bought a Honda NS-X, I ended up buying....

....an Evo 8 hehe.

Bah, should've got the Cima (or better yet a 171Majesta :ninja:)

Wouldn't be quite as fun as an E8 though :happy:

Anyone else have a sensational weekend? :):D :D :D

Best weekend ever.

Friday night, drunk at the Wakefield.

Saturday night, drunk at L!ve.

Sunday, drunk at Sea and Vines festival.

Monday, drunk at We Love Sounds.

I woke up this morning with a ripped shirt and scratch marks all down my stomach. And I cannot remember how that happened.

I'll worry about my liver when I'm 45.

Friday night, drunk at the Wakefield.

Saturday night, drunk at L!ve.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
