just a quick correction about a misconception about the shift kits that some of us have had fitted. having a shift kit fitted will actually lower the operating temperature of an automatic box. the faster shifts may cause a little bit more wear on some components, but seeing as the gear changes are so much quicker the box will spend less time in the gear change sequence and therefore less time heating up (slipping) the clutches which is what heats up the oil.

i had my kit installed at MV's and they said with S2 stageas and R34's they have to be set correctly otherwise they can upset the engine ecu by changeing gears to quickly which seems to pull the timing back to far. mine is set pretty spot on as flat out gear shifts bring on the traction control for a second and if the traction control is turned off it will chirp the tyres.

      Looking at getting a Tesla style Screen for my V37 Skyline.

      This is untested by me, however, its one of the weird but well known behaviours of polarisation and Quantum Physics, and may be able to be used here. A simple way to check if sunglasses are polarised, is to take a pair of sunglasses you know are polarised, then hold the pair you want to test so that the lenses are at 90 deg, and when you look through the two lenses, it will be black. However, if you take a third pair and hold them at 45 deg and between the pair, looking through all three lenses will be almost clear. Weird, but supposedly true and it depends on the weird behaviours caused by quantum effects.

      I'll leave this here Owned it for 5 days, changed alignment and its .7 of a second slower than my 180sx up Noosa hill climb. Mca reds, cusco diff and short ratio, e85, some gktech arms, endless pads and Nankang CRS Tyres.  I beat a gt3 porsche with an experienced targa driver too.

      AC Compressor

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      AAAaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhh! Following on from OP's AC woes....mine got regassed last year and at some point I discovered it had lost enough gas to not switch on any more. It had dye in it, but we never saw any trace of dye, perhaps because it all fell out long enough before we looked that it washed away. (Or, shudder, it's under the dash in a hard to see/reach spot!). I almost never run the AC because I just drive with the windows down even when it's 40+ outside. Only occasionally want it when I just can't take the heat or if I need some defog. So, got it gassed up again with more dye and oil so I could run it a bit to provoke the leak to show. And the compressor is noisy. So, now I am staring down the barrel of having to fit a rebuild kit to the compressor (or maybe the spare that is on the shelf).  And hope that the leak is at the comp, and not under the bloody dash.
