Yep thats our new Super Wagon. It arrived on Monday ;) The wife is turning into a hoon already though but geez it's a nice car. 99% sure that will be the recce car for April - the Audi RS4 we are bringing to TWP next week. I'd have brought the R36 next week but the wife won't let me even drive it down the shops yet let alone let me take it for a week! lol But the wife and kids will probably come in April so I'll be allowed to bring it as I'll be under supervision!

it's alive!!! the bodyworks painted the lip, i think it looks better with the black lip

i think dad is thinking of twp, even though there are no spots left?!

The novelty of seeing an RS4 in tas is enough, and you pricks are doing recce in one!!! Don't need any help/crew do you?

Should be good for doin all the handbrake turns required when wanting to run over a piece of road again in recce :cheers:

Well that last seal kit in existence will allow us to have the best handbrake ever, although im definately not buying new tyres b4 hand!

Hmm yeh the black looked better, White Knight flat black... you know you want to!

PS nice to see you washed the charf off!

well it is with huge relief i give my latest update..... i have somehow managed to fit back into the race suit :P

that and i think we are on the wednesday night boat, so may catch up with some of you blokes for a quiet shandy on the crossing.

wash the charf off! it's sill got clay all down the side of it. It'll get a good clean soon.

Excelent. Should be a fun convoy down to Hobart Thursday morning then too. Roll ons anyone?? :cheers:

I'd be interested to see how Ze R34 compares to an R35 straight line actually. I know 1st hand that Jeff's R34 is slower than his R35 so it would be interesting to see if my special body kit helps fix that. :cheers:

Change of plans sadly & no convoy- looks like we are booked for the Tuesday night boat.

Will see everyone at scruitineering or Friday evening at the briefing no doubt, if not before.

I'll be the one in the pink car ;)

well there were super high winds here today. lots of power outages in launceston and hobart.

just put the power fc pro in the gtr. still running the engine in, so can't give the launch control a proper crack.

My mate Blaise over in W.A. just bought himself a new car yesterday for the purposes of making a Tarmac Rally Car. It needs a bit of work (obviously!) but for $10K it looks like a good buy. It probably won't see any events in 09 but it should be right to play in 2010.

gotta say, the 22 idea would have been heaps cooler!

...and only tossers own evos!

One week out and I'm getting excited! :) The race wheels are now on - just the stickers to go and the car is done. It's a shame we have to put any on actually as the car looks pretty sweet as it is right now although the ones we do have coming are pretty amuzing.

And Stu - Blaise has another idea which I'll talk to you about next week (looking forwards to meeting you in person and really hope we can have a beer at some stage).

ah cool, gotta atleast try and be different.

car looks awesome, the black rims really do finish the package

all up for beers, drop me a text on the 0412 number (its the easiest way to get me during event)

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
