this is typed by me (dave) not boxhead, just too lazy to log out:

i was just thinking about it... and not many qld ppl's cars are going at the moment.

1st you have mine with engine being done now, then you got nismogirl and luke with gearboxes, boxhead with crash damage, nizman with no rego..........and japtaxi is just damn slow :P

so, hopefully by next month the regulars are back on the road and going hard.!!

Well my skyline was running beautifully, nice and fast, no problems at all! And had been ever since I got that wheel baring replaced 6 months ago! Then I sold the damn thing...

But that's ok cause I got a 200sx with some nice mods as part trade on it...but then I sold that too...

Oh well...That's it for me and performance cars for a while, I have had enough of all of the headaches with insurance and parts and dodgy mechanics etc

Still have my bike though and its more fun anyway :)

Well after saturday nights events my car has spat the

dummy again.... 22psi was not good for most of the car...

The launch got the front wheels in the air slightly...

Now the suspension is creeking....

The boost has half cooked the gearbox...

Clutch packs

The temp has caused the temp sender to die

Which in turn over fueled the car and drowned the O2 sensor.

Mate its time i buy a Excel..... LOL NOT!!!

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
