guys thanks for the heads up on the blues smoke.... apparently this was coming from under the car as the blue Redline gearbox fluid was leaking onto the hot pipe and underbody.... as Clarkey suspected.

well let's hope that is all:D

tru that :D ah well the money I save on fuel is slowly going into building my RB25DET for a transplant.... soon my pretty... soon.... muhahaha

Farken gotta pay $200 for the R32 and R33 japanese service manuals grr... sucks major ass, but I need it desperately if I'm to transplant engines n stuff myself. The english service manuals suck, esp that 250 dollar garbage that dosen't cover the new transmission on post 1991 GTS's.

I still can't help but smile when I recall the story you were telling me outside the bakery, about the cop pulling you over and looking for the turbo. I look forward to the day you've got the new beast... if I could help with a workshop manual I would, but I've only got an R32 GTR workshop manual. Why not transplant an RB26DETT then you can use my manual :aroused:

Once again, thanks to everyone involved in the running and driving the cruise.

James, if you'd like a passenger on a scouting run, I'd be more than happy to fill the seat :D

lack of $$$ to buy an RB26. also lack of spare parts, I've gotta upgrade too many things with an RB26, with an RB25 its pretty easy (plus I've already bought a turbo and manifold for it hehe)

Okay, so I filled up today for the first time since the cruise...

423km total. 62.44L added to tank - 14.76l/100km.  :thankyou:

Filled up last night [ultimate]:

460km total, 55 L added - 11.95l/100km ~ probably my worst figure ever :P

A normal cruise up the country I would have got 550kms out of that much fuel, my best was around 9.5l/100km but thats fairly rare [& relaxed driving]!

    • A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!
    • I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
    • From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.
    • Good news. So it went up to 16.2 volts as per the manual then dropped to 13.6v where it maintains that voltage. The sizzling sound stopped after that. All is looking ok. Car starts up same as usual.
    • As strange as this sounds (as they are fixed back), my Bride Xero CS seats are the most comfortable seats I've used.  I vote go genuine.  The only downside I've found is on very long drives, you can't reposition your body while driving. So even though its comfy, being locked in the same position eventually becomes uncomfortable. I find myself stopping every 3 or so hours to stretch my legs on long drives.
