on that note.. in the R32's, the thing in the centre console behind the gear stick.. is that a cop holder when you pull the flap up and lock it in?

thats the only thing i can think it is.. cans fit ok, but not perfectly.. stupid design if it is though..

No offense but if any of you have seen "BY BY" which is a UAS car I believe, very few cars are as "JAP" as that.

White, stickers everywhere, GT wing, carbon bonnet, big 18" rims...

btw. I have bronze Rays Volk TE37 Mag Challenge rims coming on my car? Is that too "JAP"?

you say 'jap' like its a bad thing :P

loz is the perfect example of the jap look! :P

gtr80y looks like its going fast even when its parked lol :)

when he was over at my place in the garage of my units, one of my neighbours walked past and went "oooooh going racing are we boys?" :lol:

<rant>

nothing says jap more than a see thru plastic phone holder and matching cup holder jammed into your center a/c vent to the point where the fokin thing crumbles the moment you pull it out and have to wait for years to meet up with OOHSAM to get a replacement one.

Then there's the tissue dispenser thingy in a bamboo box.

And MD/CD Double DIN player with purple (why purple always?) led display.

A pingu thingy somewhere in the car.

Some sort of ioniser thing which creates ozone molecules that bind to smoke particles and neutralises them.

Brace pads on either side of your knees (if youre captain dorifto)

A HKS guage readout thingy in your glovebox which conceals itself when the glovebox is closed (this is very nifty actually, coz u the gauges are there only when u need em)

A Sat-nav thing which again makes no fokin sense except in kanji which sucks coz you can't read anythign but harigana. And the manufacturers never imagined the car ever leaving Japan and don't sell any plugin modules for any other country except korea.

An HKS or Blitz airbox or air filter.

A sticker that says your a member of the Japanese Automobile Community or sumfin (with either 3 to 5 skulls or a dog with a thumb up)

A jap number plate and a authentic Nissan Skyline Jap numberplate surround

A numberplate relocator for the front bumper to allow more air into your FMIC

A emergency toolkit that includes a white flag which you tie between your car and the car towing you or being towed by you so no Japanese men on bikes or on foot try to go between the two fo you.

Oh and the most important one, the Round sticker on windscreen with a big number that tells you what month of what year the car was registered on.

And a couple of other stickers for jap parking permits and automoticve clubs, stickers for every friggen garage that services your car including the local petrol station. And an ETC card to allow you access to something or other jammed way into the recesses of the driver side sun block flappy thingy.

</rant>

oh and if you wanna look dorifto l33t then apply a shitload of bog to the corners of your car, esp the rear corners, don't bother smoothing it out... whack it on and scrape it off in the general angle of the panel.

did you think of this just now or have you done this before eh :P

when i was in the process of respraying my 180, there was a stage that the whole back half was in pink spray putty, after all the back was straight and i hadnt moved up to the doors yet, the doors forward were black still.

I went through a maccas drive through and it was a classic, the guy said,

"been doing a bit of drifting eh mate?"

i wish i had a pic of all the stages my car has been in, it looked like a jap accident.

    • Those 2 solenoids in that assembly I mention, are the PWM solenoids for torque converter lock-up clutch & EPC (line pressure control) ~ when most folks hear of 'solenoid failure', the tendency is to think electrical failure...but fact of the matter is, especially wrt the EPC solenoid (which is moving/running all the time), you can have an electrically 'good' solenoid, that's absolutely broken/worn out mechanically inside...ie; valve plunger return spring rubbing against spring retainer plate, lowering preload pressure.. ...and the solenoid armature extension limit spring wafer with bad wear/broken off petals... ...and if there's ever been any metal flying about, damage to the valve plunger end itself... ...the stuff one never really sees, unless you go the whole 10yards trying to answer the question "why is my line pressure screwy, but TCU isn't flagging any EPC solenoid fault?"...and carefully dissect the solenoid. Worst (and most probable) scenario is when the plate spring petals break off, they get held by the magnetic flux, get mashed up by the armature into little bits, which end up in the space between the armature & shading core bore, and things get stuck or randomly jam up, and your line pressure goes flat and doesn't change...and the TCU never sees it, as it doesn't actively monitor LP... ..then it gets into insidious land, if you end up with lower than expected line pressure...lets say high clutch..and the lower pressure causes it to slip ~ when I say 'slip', think say 2000rpm on the drive plates, and 1800rpm on the driven plates, because the slip is making them under-rotate by 200rpm ; you get all the usual nasties like heat and band/clutch wear, but even if it's only 20rpm slip the same thing happens...and... you'll hardly ever pick this up driving the thing with the torque converter active as it effectively masks these sorts of slippages that are line pressure related ...(the newer TCUs can detect clutch slip rate)...just  FYI as it were...  
    • There's nothing that some paddle pop sticks and extra cable ties can't fix.
    • Hey guys, so Golebys has good prices on Bosch injectors, and also sell an adaptor to go from 1/2 length injector to standard with the Nissan 10.5mm top seal.  Does anyone know if that adaptor is to suit the 14mm or 11mm injector tops?  And re. The bottom seal, to suit my standard RB20 intake, would I be right in saying I can just slip the 14mm square section O ring over the bottom of the new injector and done? Thanks in advance guy, Cheers, Rowdy
    • F my life. I was changing the oil on my R32 GTR today as usual and ran into a bit of a snag. I drained the oil out and was getting ready to finish the job by tightening the drain plug, however The stupid magnetic oil drain plug snapped in half, right at the magnet part. After about an hour of trying to remove it, I used a drill bit, which unfortunately pushed the magnet all the way into the pan, and just leaving the hollow threaded part of the bolt remaining. I was able to remove the hollow portion of the bolt from the oil pan with some pliers but the magnet is still in there.  So, the question is, should I drop the oil pan to get the magnet piece out, or is it okay to leave it in there? I really dont want to drop the pan, i'm about to go nuts.  PSA: Do NOT buy a BLOX magnetic drain plug. This is the one i had.    https://bloxracing.com/products/magnetic-oil-drain-plug-m12x1-25mm?variant=37131252859052&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw47i_BhBTEiwAaJfPpgti1D2JwO7TDuMpXuqeQPCuIQSAfwxpWQH5rF9MD7sm5SCZDWLR_RoC_YoQAvD_BwE
