Need Help With A Part In Townsville...

I know that this is off topic but I am in a bit of a spot... I have driven my R34 turbo sedan from Perth over the top and am in Townsville QLD on my way to Mission Beach. Coming out of Mt Isa the R34 was pulling to the right under brakes quite severely. After having a look I found that my after market right hand adjustable castor rod had snapped at the adjustment nut... it is quite OK to drive but can be dangerous under heavy braking so I would prefer to fix it before continuing on to Mission Beach.. the questions is.. does anyone in Townsville know here I can buy a factory castor rod? I am pretty sure that castor rods are the same for 180SX/Silvia, R32/33/34 and 300ZX although it is possible that lengths may vary slightly but I would appreciate anyone based in Townsville letting me know if there is a local import wrecker or anyone wrecking a Nissan import privately....

Also if interested in reading about some of my trip you can read it on my blog at http://car-import.blogspot.com/

All sorted out.. I got onto Xtreme Motorsports at 17 Ingham Rd in Townsville and they were great. Not only did they have an R33 castor rod but they also fitted it for me for only $75 all up! So many thanks to those who responded to my post and special thanks to Extreme Motorsports for their help. Make sure you go and see them for parts or just a chat if you are ever in Townsville.

Check out their very good website at http://www.x-trememotorsport.com/index.html

Now onto Mission Beach!

Wow thats a big drive..

yes I only had 1 problem and it wasn't a Skyline part!

Have moved permanently... started Autoworx (RAW importer) in Perth in 1999 and sold this year... of course kept an R34 (for my wife) and my R33 with lots of goodies.. will be doing the Suncoast Rally this year and other things I hear about.... best cars in the world

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      Exhaust end of this month, and then tune after that whenever there is availability. Still tossing up between a pure 98 tune or a flex 98/e85 combo.  The (lack of) milage in e85 isnt great. Start to get anxiety if i go for a long drive and there arent any united servo's nearby

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I mean I can be OCD'y but this is really over the top. At that point why not just run a full wideband fuel controller? Especially if you run 3 widebands. The system works pretty well, which is trimming low load stuff to be within a few percent of the base map. Pre-engine _change_ the base map was only 1-2% off, depending on ambient temp, elevation, etc. Under load the LS is really very straightforward to tune, enough that a wideband closed loop would be overkill. If I really cared (and I hope I don't) I can always just go back to the MAF system the car actually came with. Which does all those nice calculations for me (temp, altitude, etc), now that you can buy 102mm MAF's that do not cause restrictions.

      I'd be installing 2x widebands and using the NB simulation outputs to the ECU.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nah, it's different across different engines and as the years went on. R32 era RB20, and hence also RB26, the TPS SWITCH is the idle command. The variable resistor is only for the TCU, as you say. On R33 era RB25 and onwards (but probably not RB26, as they still used the same basic ECU from the R32 era), the idle command is a voltage output of close to 0.45V from the variable resistor.
