Tiny update. Finally getting off my arse and organising things. Motorkhana is next weekend so I'm pretty keen for that. I have also paid entry for the Wakefield matsuri weekend (3rd/4th May) so need to make sure everything is fine for that. If anyone is there and sees me come say hi :)

Bought a Buddyclub water temp sensor adaptor and fitted that the other night. Gotta run the cable for the sensors through the firewall but I plugged them in to make sure all work working.

Also started gathering my wheels for matsuri, pulled my stockies out of the garage they were in and borrowed some rims from a mate. Got a couple of spare tyres to chuck on and I'll be buying new tyres for the rest from my local guy.1623628_10153989372895274_40423448432547

Hey Timmy, if you ever get the chance, I'd be interested to know how the readings on those Defi's compare to the readings the ECU gets? I've got 3 different water temp sensors and 3 different boost gauges, and every single one of them tells me something different :laugh:

Haha no worries, once I've got it all hooked up properly I'll compare and let you know :)

So I was entered in the annual Toyota Nationals motorkhana yesterday that is in Dubbo. Gotta show them Toyota's up ;P

Will have more pics and vids later but here is one of my final runs. Spun out and just decided to give the spectators a nice display of smoke :)

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
