Hi guys - just a quick hello from Washington.

We have spent a few days in New York, and have been to Niagara Falls, and now Washington. The weather is awesome, sights fantastic and we are having a ball!

Cars here are very cool, and I have been taking plenty of photos of interest. Haven't seen any Skylines - except for V35s, of which I have only seen 3. Got some photos of them too!

Hope everyone is well, and I might do a longer post with some photos, when I get to Boston early next week, and have time to upload/edit them.

Hey Nightcrawler

Im in Calgary Canada at the moment but im commin to the USA in 2 days time (Seattle). I dunno what its like in DC but here every1 is driving Acuras and Hondas, I saw a R32 GTR for the first time this week in Banff (brought bk memories of home :P). I had a stop over in London for a day and that whole time I only saw 1 import which was a Soarer, the cost of fuel ova there is like $3 AU i think so imports arnt so popular. Newayz have fun man and if u can stay in a hostel with a bar, even if u can afford a hotel they are the best fun and u meet so many different ppl.

Cheers, Spangers

PS Anythin happening in SA?

Hmmmmmmmmmm I'm Jelous Andrew!

RIGHT now i'm currently supposed to be in LA BUT still stuck in Adelaide which sucks!

My Parent said the weather in NY was Awesome the other week. Like 30 odd something...

Anyway hope you have fun!

Like i said so so so jelous!

Sounds like you guys are having a ball Andrew. I'm guessing Caroline is with you?

By the time you read this you will have left Washington so I hope you had a chance to check out the Smithsonian (Smithsonians really as it's 7 musems in total!) the Aerospace museum is awesome! Plus all the usual places: The White House, Arlington (JFK's grave/changing of the guard etc.) The Pentagon and so on.

I have vivid memories of my last trip to the States (mid 2001) I even did the trip to the top of the World Trade Centre (can't remember which tower it was) and still have a little Statue Of Liberty that I bought from the gift shop at the top of the WTC.

Enjoy the rest of the trip mate. Stay safe.

I'll finish off with... GO THE CROWS!!! :wub:

  • 3 weeks later...

Well we just got home safe and well - I am heading to bed now, but will do a nice big post in the next day or 2 outlining our adventures. As we have just come from Hawaii, and I have now been out of bed for over 24 hours (13 of those spent flying), I am stuffed!

    • Which model Maxima? This is good knowledge to have.
    • I'm with GTS, that's not an actual overheat issue. That's an electrical issue.
    • So, it's clearly an electrical problem. Either with the gauge itself, or the sender. It appears to be voltage sensitive (ie, alternator output affects the reading.
    • Yes, at this stage of SAU threads, I  automatically assume that anyone here knows that everything depends on each and every setup and its choice of parts and what an individual wants from the setup. I think your misunderstanding what I've said, I'm not saying your curve will move to the right.. I'm stating the opposite; that my setup has a much larger turbo than my last one, my current exhaust manifold runners are 2-3x longer than the last one, the intercooler is longer and thicker (hks 103mm thick), the itbs are now oversized from 45mm up to 49mm, and the plenum is now a larger Nismo plenum that's been port matched. As a result, I'm making more power, torque and boost 1000rpm earlier than my last setup. My curve moved left, in a big way. You guys with 800-1000+hp turbos should be considering hks v-cam or the other Japanese company Sakura who makes RB25 Neo vct adaptor kits for RB26's. they all make more power / boost / torque far earlier and higher peak numbers. Dahtone Racing modifies the Hks v-cam systems to his own specs and he also developed the worlds first and best dbw individual throttle body kits, to complement his V-cam. Every single car is 800-1200+hp and they all produce huge gains in response and peak power. 
    • I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.
