That's brilliant mate, I shall look into it in the coming days.

got a price in mind if you were to sell? yeah you need a change lol

Will PM you with a price when I get home, my parents will kill me if I sell the gtr after few days but if they find out it's not behaving and need sorting out they'd also kill me either way...

Just had my dad ranting about me wheelin and dealing other day, he reckons I should start a car yard!

engine is 1973, car is 1972. So they only have to meet EPA standards from that year. EFI and suspension conversion is outside ADR requirements. I can run a straight pipe and still be legal. Think I'll truck muffler it tho. Might be a tad louder than the 96db I'm allowed. Engine is heavy as f**k tho, and car will be light as. Super fun sideways times. Engineering is $200 for that year car :D

yeh i get all that but isn't there a law that prevents engineering if the capacity/cyl no of the engine is a certain percentage larger than the original?

one of my mates in england is currently working on converting his Motec ECU to fibreoptic, so all it has is one cable coming out of it carrying up to 256 different signals.

realistically he says he'll have 3 cables, one to the dash, one to the engine bay and another to boot/fuel delivery system. still... 3 optical cables < 11ty billion wire cables that can short out, get interference, start fires etc.

Once he's finished prototyping it, I'm so gonna get on that.

Other issues can arise though, just sayin'

Whats everyone doing for new years?

Yeah, it annoy them the fact I've had 3 R32 in space of 2 and 1/2 months...

I agree with you about my money I do whatever I want, at this point, my parents aren't seeing eye to eye.

Now, my younger brother is gloating about how good BMW's are... (no doubt older brother will do the same when he wake up and being told by him).

May have woken some of neighbours from 3,000rpm idle the R currently idling, off to Ace in the morning.

Story of my life.

p.s. I'm not cut out for Skyline ownership so it seems.

Paul you seem to know about all this shit...What's some decent home entertainment/surround sound packages worth looking at?

Just starting to think about a setup for when I move into my house...Will need the whole set-up, only got a TV at the moment, so receivers and all that shit etc

my advise is goto your local jb hifi and check out some models and basic pricing

have a think about what movies you watch how much you want to spend and what you'd like

perhaps even join up on some audio / home theatre forums if your die hard

but if your just a normal user who wants some good sound then some of the mid range stuff these days is pretty top notch and can be had fairly cheaply

any receiver will be suitable, all the new stuff is pretty tops, the pioneer one i posted on my FB page is $330 at jb hifi, which is cheap as chips

then just need some speakers and away you go

when u want to look at gear let us know and can help you then if you like

Sweet, still gotta put all the other essentials at the top of the priority list, but wanna set up the lounge room in the beginning if I've got the spare cash to spend when I first move in. Don't need anything too serious, but think I'll keep my 46" TV for the bedroom and get a 50 or 56" plasma for the lounge...Plasmas are cheap as chips these days, and will mostly be used for movies/sports...I'll occasionally play the PS3 on there but I'll probably have that in my room more often than not, so a plasma should be fine for the lounge...

Ever used the bluetooth setups? No cables is a big plus, but don't think any of the more powerful systems are bluetooth...and it won't be too hard to run the cables properly through the roof and cut some small holes, probably wall mount the rear speakers anyway

Done,

The culprit was a bolt stuck on thorttle cable (rear of the holder bit on 26)... Here I were worrying about being carless and at least $500 out of pocket...

Damn cars, time to take up new hobby!

Nope, for a car manufactured before 1976 when the ADR and VSI regulations kicked in, all it needs is a signature from a VASS which says that it meets the manufacturing standard of the car when it was produced. I've already run it past a VASS who's happy to sign off on it. Basically it's just too old for anyone to care about :P

Other issues can arise though, just sayin'

like? with proper insulation the cabling is resistant to heat, vibration, EMI, signal decay, moisture etc. Tech from 2000 and late instead of the 60's... naamsayin? You can transmit a lot more data a lot quicker too, which means you could even splice in sensors that have a higher bandwith for more accurate readings.

    • It's worth looking at Neil's garage thread, he was super organised (as you'd expect). He had a simple bunnings narrow shelving rack with tubs, each tub numbered, each number had a manifest. Of course, only about half the parts had made it to that system, and he had random stuff from old projects like kawasaki triples and even a Bultaco (a wtf? I said). I really don't want to throw stuff like that because it is irreplaceable, but it's also hard to know who could use it without spending a heap of time I don't have on research. Not co-incidentally, I've recently decided to try and move on some parts too, either random non-skyline stuff like S13 axles or anything R32 that I had more than 2 spares of (yes, I have a lot of space and a lot of spares). Most of the stuff is on commercial racking which is too deep for practical use for loose spares. Where possible stuff is in plastic tubs (various sizes) to keep critters from eating them. The whole place is a disaster for the poor person who has to clean it out when I'm gone. For the R32 spares, I aim to have one ready to go spare (eg rebuilt gearbox, engine, driveshafts, hubs, control arms etc) and one ready to prep spare.  Even so I've ended up with lots of 3rd or more spares and I'd rather see someone else keep their car on the road. Also I've ended up with some interior stuff like boot trims and floor mats I'll never need. So, I'm about to re-enter the painful world of online selling. I'm not on facebook (and won't be) so that is not an option, I'll start a thread on here for R32 stuff and people who need something can find it. I don't really need to throw anything for space reasons, but I somehow doubt the Greddy Rebec III will be in high demand. Oh, and I've got heaps of bench space and heaps of racking.....but still the bench is covered in half done or about to start jobs, I really need to get it better under control but time is an issue
    • This is the current antenna, 4g bands are the ones I'm after, particularly the Telstra long range one which I think is 850Mhz? It has an SMA connector to a 3 way splitter, one runs to the Cel Fi and 2 to a USB 4g wifi stick The problem is not the antenna, the problem is that the V37 has a slightly smaller gap between the rear windshield and the body which prevents the line from being tucked away under it as it was in the Fuga. Therefore, I have about a meter of cable that I can't adequately secure running down the outside of the car to enter the boot....I figure I need to use a roof mount antenna instead and run the cable inside the car The other option I'll look at is removing the factory shark fin (which I assume is factory GPS, which is crap, I use TomTom app on my phone) and I'll bet there is already a hole in the roof under that I could use. Any alternative approach is very much welcome!
    • Hi everyone    any help? Revving upto 3k   Checked tps  0.48  &  Throttle working alright.   adjusted throttle bolt also   tried unplugging tps but still same   Nothing changed still revving same IMG_1261.mov
    • Thanks Komdotkom, I would take you up on that offer, but the cost of shipping to NZ would be horrible. 
    • So what I hear from Rob and Mark is, Matt needs to stay the hell away from your places when you choose to do cleanups, for fear my hoarding will get worse, as Ill likely find things to suit some of the projects I want to build... As for ditching stuff like Mark does, I wish I could do it so easily mate, but lots of my spares are for the R33 and I'm slightly attached to them...   However, I was staring at the pile of subs, 2 for the car, 2 for a home audio system and thinking I'll likely just ditch those... That's. A lot of space back...   I must hurry up and finish the Subaru, and then the skyline... That's probably get some space back...   But my main take away is, other than big plastic tubs, and some sort of categorising what you have in each, no one has found a good solution, that takes up the minimal amount of space possible?   And Rob, I've been wanting a mezzanine, and have been tempted to put one in, but I'm borderline not enough height, and secondly, I hate heights! (No good spot for stairs, so it'd either be fold up stairs, or a ladder, of which I hate ladders and can't carry the bigger stuff up).
