he had for sale stickers on it for a while but i think he pulled them off.... very tidy car. not an autech but it is a factory manual, just like mine.... i've never seen any autechs in canberra or heard of any here so chances of finding one here are pretty slim.

but,

come on over to the stagea section and ask the question there, you may find someone in sydney... i think that's the closest you'll get

i will now eat my words,

at work this morning, walk outside and sitting in front of me is my first job. a grey series 1 autech, canberra owned. i told him you were looking for one to check out and he said he may pop in here at some stage

D.

i think i saw that this morning. i just assumed you had upgraded from the current stagea :thumbsup:

nope, but ill be doing one better in the next few months... RB30DET time! hopefully going to get my bumper painted too, sick of having a panda car.

Ahhh.. Found it... I'm still new on the forums so navigating is still a bit err.. slow..

The silver Autech is mine, I can probably find some time if you still want to have a look.

Just curious but how much are you thinking of spending on your upgrade?

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
