G'day all.

Honestly can't remember if I ever created one of these.

So, hi.

I'm luke, I used to post a lot.

On my second 32 gtr.

Hasnt run since I purchased it about 8 years ago, so typical skyline project.

 

Have done a lot of my own mods on my last car. Kind of miss it to be honest (the car).

Come say hi, I promise not to bite.

Welcome to a place where you just spend endless amounts of money to have a car that doesn't work, or barely works.

I come here now to live vicariously through others, well, I do spend too much money on my cars, but my cars are still working......typically...

Times haven't really changed alot though, the build cars, run the cars hard, then break the cars, rinse and repeat, has been going on from when I first joined SAU

Good times

You forgot that one guy who buys a car, swears he'll leave it stock, modifies it, and sells it 6 months later for a new stock daily...

Sounds like a fun guy

In other news, I'm picking up the MX5 from MX5 Mania tomorrow, yeap, another car that I said I was keeping stock,  but didn't

Weirdly, it is all set up for taking it to the track, which I said I wasn't going to do

Meh, I'll be living in Goulburn soon, so maybe that's a sign of my symptoms 

Yes, I know, it's a sickness, a fun sickness, but a sickness none the less

I f**king told you to buy that built 2.5 one ready for the track from the get go that was 18K.

God damnit you people need to listen to me :D

Dose, the BMW M4 Competition the shittiest car ever.

BORING on the road at low and high speed.
BORING on the track relative to a truly fun track car.
EXPENSIVE AND PRETENTIOUS.

I also haven't driven my car since December, because it is in second paint jail after first paint jail. I find a way to have a car off the road for a year and it isn't even f**kin broken :D

Pfffft, I'm not *that* new.

I haven't spent endless amounts and my car STILL doesn't run!

 

But, thanks for having me.

Re-welcome! :D 

"used to post a lot" ? 

Bah. Only 4th on the 'Most Content' leaderboard

Thanks.

I once heard rumours that some of the top posters used counter multipliers to exaggerate their count.

Not sure if true or not.

And I used to post much more than I do now.

But, with all my shit posting, I made some great friends.

Including my best friend.

bro used to post a lot until he bought a vag.

like me

like PranK

like Dunc

my theory is that VAGs are Skyline Kryptonite.

It's just so comfortable! 

Like, how hard would it be to install heated, ventilated and massage front seats in the gtr?

And a night vision camera?

And plush air suspension? 

And proximity start and entry?

 

But seriously, stopped posting a lot when gtr stopped running. And then didn't really get back into it.

And the scene has changed a lot.

Then I moved rural where the car scene is prado's and 70 series.....

Yeah Wakie opened again last week.

And to correct the record...only Nissans in this house, other than one hilux paddock basher that I'd love to replace with an equally abused navara, and the tractor

    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
    • OK, so the weight has been bugging because it was really low. I did it again today and got a more believable answer at 1246 without driver And with a 93kg driver I'm pretty sure the car was still slightly on the quickjack last time meaning the full weight was not on the scales
