hahah you obviously know pete!

Steve has always been very helpful, he gave Mark and I heaps of advice when we were first building our cars about 7 years ago. It's definately a passion not a business for him, and he also supports pretty much every person running a skyline in targa with advice/cheap parts/support at the rally etc. Great bloke.

And Kel is Kel. Navigator extroadinaire....but she has bitches to prepare cars for her ;)

Heya DUNCAN,

Hehehee, I get along alright with Pete, he lives 5min up the road :P

I might have to go for a drive to JustJap one day, buy some bits and get into his head ;)

Kel has bitches? Wicked... I need bitches, maybe I can learn from her?

I might require her navigation hook ups in a year or so! None of my mates are keen to nav for me... Pussies.

Mark :)

Thanks MARLIN :)

2PEE, the shire?! People actually live down there??

Thanks but no thanks on the rotor thing. I couldn't bring myself to wreck the RX3, that's the only reason I sold it after owning her for 13+yrs!

If I put the 32 on it's lid, I wont be happy but I wont cry either. The RX3 was my baby, the 32R is my skanky little track whore...

How far out west we talking? Like Parramatta or Orange? I'm always up for a chat with anyone who knows their shit :thumbsup:

Mark :)

Basically Richmond hinterland.....if it can be that upmarket, phone can be at best iffy to catch him. He is currently putting back together one of the GTRs group A, 90s era competitors. The homologation dept must have been working overtime on that bugger trying to stop the Nissan juggernaut, as I doubt there's a standard casting in the whole thing from head to block to mag sump.

This bloke's soul brother is on here frequently, should be able to tell you no, no and no to any clarifications you seek, slip him a few bucks - and he can make any rule you want.....

joking!

You weren't in the lower car park in 2010?

Heya 2PEE :)

That'd be cool to look over an old skool GrpA GTR. Does he regular SAU? Wouldn't mind popping him a PM and see if he's up for a chat.

No need to make rules to suit. I've scrutineered for CAMS long enough to see many different 'rule interpretations' :thumbsup:

Mark!

I just laughed coffee out of my nose!

anyways...

I remember the RX7 though Mark - did pretty well from memory. Did it win the Cat 7 prologue trophy this year?

Yeah just don't beat him and his poster boy and you'll be right. :)

Actually - I hear he is giving his poster boy an R35 for next year. It's one of the reasons I'm keen to do the same!

BUT - what he can do for you Mark is tell you how you can run whatever you like in an R32 GT-R and get away with it. His has a 2.8L, big turbo's - the works.

I reckon it would be pretty cool if they had have a hyundai/kia cup in targa, minimal mods (IE brakes/suspension/safety equipment etc)

I could really see Marlin in one at the start line "Win it or Bin it!"

This thread has been a consistent delivery of lols, very impressed :D

Thinking i might start to Nav, i don't earn the bucks like you blokes, be a fun way to get into it. Plus I'm a good passenger, especially on dirt roads in WRXs ha ha.

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
