Howdy everyone,

Thought id make myslef known as i recently after many many months of blood, sweat and tears i have managed to get my beast on the road! The names Laine and i am a proud owner of a Black R32 Gts-t that i imported through prestige motorsport. Id just like to add that geoff at prestige is a top bloke and helped me every step of the way as im sure alot of people out there already know.

Anyway as a lot of you have experieinced Dicskon Inspection station is possibly the worst place in the world to get your car inspected. Took me three goes before i got cleared, and it cost me over $1000 in parts to make them happy. I understand alot of the things needed replacing to make it roadworthy but each time i went there they would find something that they didnt the previous time which was infuriating to say the least!! But its done know so if you a Black Gts-t with gold Work alloys, a gtr kit minus rear spoiler cruising round with a lanky bloke driving give us a wave!

One question though, my mags have seen better days in the paintwork department and i was wondering if it is viable to get them repainted and cleaned up or is it cheaper to buy new ones. If it is viable who around Canberra does that sort of thing?

Well i look forward to many years of Skyline enjoyment and hopefully ill see some of you guys cruising round at some time. Ill probably throw up a post every now and again when i get some mods done, but for now i have to pay off the bills of getting the car registered!!!

Cya'll later

welcome Laine, good to hear you got it on the road, you should come out and meet us on a tuesday or friday

For your wheels, try the wheel factory in qbn, they are apparently the best locally

Just got a question, have you had your car towed around on the back of trucks earlier this year? Reason i ask is I ve got a black R32 with gold wheels too, and have received a few frantic phone calls and msgs about my car on the back of a truck, was it yours?

Yeh thanks guys ill give them a call when i can get some cash together.

Nah sorry wasnt my car either, ive kept it off the back of any trucks thank god even though at some stage i had a bung starter motor and a screwed ignition lock.

Where abouts do you guys normally head on tuesday/fridays then? Im pretty busy with uni and sport at the moment but i might make an appearance this Friday all being well.

Could have been me in dickson, spent plenty of time out there at the inspection station!! Yeh and distance defineitely makes the car look better, paint needs some polish after 15 years and spending nearly 3 months at the docks in japan.

    • I just looked at my camera phone settings, apparently I have "not allowed" for location  Will that stop that app?
    • Can you not just turn it off on your phone if required? I remember a brief on this, well, I remember the brief, not what to actually do. LOL
    • Thanks for posting, your engine bay looks tops. I'm fairly sure you posted the wrong video though, I think you were supposed to upload the one from your "private test road" where it's banging off the limiter with the gate open?
    • This is something to be careful of. I did a bit of digging on the NM35, as I spend a lot of time on near brand new cars and CANBus related stuff, which uses the same "OBD2" plug for a fair chunk of making my life easy. The NM35, does NOT support OBD2. The data pin is actually on Pin3, which is a manufacturer specific pin, and requires Consult3 to connect to the NM35. Your low voltage, is either because the NM35 doesn't have 12V to the constant power pin on the J1962 (OBD2) connector, OR, it is attempting the standard comms, (CanBus, K Line, etc) and can't see any voltage on those pins. Some people have had success accessing SOME data from the vehicle on OBD2 specification, using a module that supports KPW. My assumption, like Duncan has stated, it will likely actually be JOBD, where there is some cross over with the OBD2 and JOBD standards. Note, lots of "OBD2" dongles, do NOT support KPW, which is what you need for a lot of Japanese vehicles of this era (And even up until recent years!), EG, Subaru, Suzuki, etc.    The end of this thread is probably worth a read, as some people did find a way to get a display up in the NM35 recently, looks like someone implemented all the stuff needed to make it work. (The right protocols).
