Lee, where in the UK do you live mate?

Not far from Luton, which if you aint been here before is about 45 mins from Silverstone and Rockingham!!!!! Just north of the imfamous M25!!!!

Was actually quite suprised with the size of the Skyline scene over here!!!!

How big is it down under?? I know you guys are getting some very impressive 1/4 mile times so i have heard on the forums over here!!!!!

Gotta love the M25! :D

Yeah, i've been to Luton a few times. Used to swim there on occasion doing club meets and things. My Dad works from Luton airport at the moment as well.

I've only ever seen one Skyline in the UK on the roads, but i don't go to meets or cruises so i'm unlikely to see them at all. It improves the novelty factor that they are so rare in the UK!

You must love pulling into petrol stations and have people staring at the car, LOL.

I go on Skyline Owners and GTR Owners club forum over here, always plenty of meets!!!!

Must admit the attention is nice but does get a tad embarrassing sometimes though!!!!

As for the world cup it is in very capable hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
