Don't know how well you know the guys at "team twat", but they're a bunch of squids. Its these guys we've told to f**k off. No skill, no brains, no respect.

I agree. I'm not saying I'm into it myself. 'stunts, wheelies, &, Tricks"

I'm asking. Weren't some of your friends in the group tho ? or were ?

I'm saying all this because there seems to be so many saints and angels on here. Make believe ones. I don't speed and carry on myself, but we all know some people that do.

Well I finally picked up my car... but it still has issues.

They gave it back to me with a flat battery (had to be jump started from the crash repairers) after I told them at least 5 times when speaking to them during the first week to disconnect the positive battery terminal as it would go flat in less than a week. The oil catch can is still squirting oil all over the engine bay and now the HICAS light goes on and off like someone tapping morse code - and with it the car switches from 4WD to RWD and back again. Sometimes I took off in 1st in RWD, changed to 2nd and had 4WD and then was back in RWD before changing to third. I am sooooo sick of this saga!

What a f**king joke! Seriously though the catch can shouldn't be squirting oil like that, not unless you are driving like a mad man

HICAS is 4 wheel steering, totally unrelated to ATTESSA, esp since you have a hicas lock bar - are you having the hicas light come on or are you feeling the attessa kicking in and out?

I'll bring my consult cable to check out ur error codes on the weekend...

Also, do you have an oil engine return from the welch plug at the back of the head?

I don't mind watching the odd wheelie, my mates are generally a bunch of good blokes ... but team twat have no idea and are a big hazard on the road. Alot of them got themselves perished or busted up some years ago running from the cops. 3 of them died in the span of 2 weeks doing stupid things.

And no I've never associated with any of them. A handful of them tried riding with us, but we showed them the door.

No one is a saint. I've NEVER even received a parking ticket on my bikes, but that doesn't mean I don't misbehave. I pick where and when to stretch my legs and its well within my limits and the environment around me. I have Mallala should I chose the need for speed. 20 years and zero traffic violations on my bike, I'd like to think I've been picking them well. One thing I do ensure, is that I am wearing full protective gear where and when I can. Unlike the twats who think a hoodie and fashion jeans will save your neck!

:P

What's happening is what I posted - the HICAS light comes on and off, and at the same time the car switches between 4WD & RWD. I can see the car is in RWD by the torque gauge not moving but the rear end starts slipping. I imagine that it has something to do with the G sensor which was most likely damaged in the accident - way back in June 2008.

Yes the oil catch can has an oil return hose to the back of the head (I don't know what the welch plug is).

I won't be driving the GTR anywhere yet because i) I have a flat battery ii) I'm squirting oil all over the engine bay (and I was driving very sedately Luke) & iii) 335rwkW that switches at will between 4WD & RWD is not very confidence inspiring.

I'm am mega pissed off so apologies if this comes across. It is not aimed at anyone on SAU.

LOL.

Having a bit of fun with a dude I used to work with and hes getting all defensive and shit.

His older sister married the son of Drake supermarkets and over the weekend they drove one of their Lamborghini Superlarggas over from Sydney. There is pictures of it on the back of a tow truck after something happening to its gearbox. So I jump in with the $600k and still needs a tow babow comments. Now they're getting all defensive saying if my GTR was powerskidding and drifting all the way from Sydney my GTR would be f**ked too. Obviously not getting that my $20k GTR is 18 years old and is probably yet to see the back of a tow truck he still hasn't caught on.

Oh people that think they have cash are funny.

It's not normal for oil to be pissing out, the motor shouldn't be breathing that much, especially when you're not on boost. You seem to have a WHOLE new list of problems and I'm sure it's doing your head in. But have the repairs atleast been done right this time body wise?

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
