Spotted: My ride - All Show 'n' No Go. Knock sensor reads higher than the car goes ATM and the temp is 16 degrees Hotter than that. Guess 100 on the knock, your right, after 2 minutes driving. I have @#$%^ had it and need to vent :) . Check "Members Ride" thread. Merry F'n Christmas.

Lucky I have 4 days off and a Pushy although Civic is a bit far for a Phat man.

just met a young asian guy (well aussie but of asian origon(sp?)) cruising down drakeford back toward the city, had a veilside front bar (or possibly full kit) with an exhaust, it was a non turbo but the owner was really nice, and i got big compliments for my car too which is always nice.

A big fat dude dressed in red, driving a red/white R32 from the north. He had a white beard.

Funny thing was, the car was being towed by reindeer......................can't trust them 32's.

Woo hoo!

I thought Tri had spotted me :spcartman but as I read on it turned out to be some other fat HPI dude.

Knowing our luck SANTA is probably a P Plater and the Pressies will be wraped around Telstra Tower in the morning.

HO HO HO HO HO HO:xmas:

Spotted what wouldve been in excess of a 600kw GTR out and about last night. Also had a dog box of some sorts judging from the whining it was making when it was driving round. Had the biggest f**king turbo I have ever seen in my life too. Apparantly running 41psi on a T51R so you know its going to be making some -serious- numbers.

Nik;

have you spotted your car on a dyno yet? we're all waiting patiently...

Spotted this morning:

Yellow dewinged white wheeled R34 GTSt in front of Duntroon. Waved but no response.

Big waves from Sinista the Winged Warrior on Constitution Ave heading towards the ATO end. Richard, will you please adjust the angle on that thing?! The jet wash caused so much turbulence I nearly had a flame-out in turbo 1, then turbo 2. Could've gone into a flat spin out to Civic pool! Ah well I guess that the inquiry would've cleared me...and then I get to fool around with Kelly...

Sounded v nice growling past too.

One of the local Snap On guys who's building an R30/31 with an RB26. Told him about the site, how he shouldn't waste his time coming on here, it was boring, the people aren't fun...and he said he can't wait to meet a few of us at the next Trivia night. Seemed like a very nice bloke indeed and when I said 'they don't really care what sort of Skyline you drive and love to take the piss out of eachother he said 'Excellent'. I doubt he'll last...heh heh

Cheers guys and gals, have a great Xmas and NY, stay safe and don't give the revenue raisers a dime over the next few days!

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
