Hey ron!

I joined in 06.

Ives seen some familiar faces come and go in the last 6 years!

I remember when you were active on the forum, it is going back some time tho.

As terry asked, what are you driving? and are skylines still a passion of yours?

Cheers adam

welcome back :)

EDIT: err... i just checked my joined date, i see your October '02 and raise you.... :D - man, had no idea it's been that long. Crazy

Ron, did you come over from SDU? that's the ORIGINAL i guess :D

Hi guys, yeah been away for a while but really this is the only forum I feel like home.

I still remember back in the days of SDU, and yes I was on there as well.

Also remember the days skyline owners used to just flash hibeams as we past one another (back then Lines were rare, got mine in '99)

I dont have one anymore but still love them to bits, whenever i see all you guys' cars boostin up the street it still give me goosebumps and bring back memories.

I m a tradie now so i drives hiace van everyday, but couple time a week i get to jump in my miss's R36 family car. Til E63 comes that is, just waiting to test drive the current one with 5.5TT

pffft.. damn old timers.

Dam straight :whistling:

Remember SDU well. I joined it in around 1999 - 2000. Still had my R31 GTS2, and was starting to shop for my GTSt.

Fondest memories were arguing with the chequebook racer from hell who claimed that all his developments were his own design / idea (even made some claims insinuating that his ideas were taken up by Cosworth when he got them to do some development on his GTR). Of course back in those days if you dared to question anything he said you'd get shot down (and banned) by his fanboi club. I won't mention any names, but I'm sure those from that era will remember him well.

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
