What about we organize a cruise skyline33,,,,you know,,, couple bottles of octane booster,,,head off to sunny Northern Territory,,,I'd be interested to see just how fast these cars go,,,out there you gotta be looking for at least 240/250.

nah, the ECR34 nismo speedo for about 1grand is about right :D

Another option is the Tommy Kaira one which is about a grand too

yeah i test drove a white 34gtt with the tommy k dash, i didnt like the digital speedo much though!

And for the same money [$1k] i prefer the Nismo dash - except i dunno if i like the yellow / orange text on it. what colour is it @ nite i wonder?

If anybody ever doubted R33 GTS-T's ever had Cruise as an option,,,Take a look at the Throttle Cable Bracket on the Inlet Manifold,,,YES it has an extra spot for another cable and then look at the Throttle Body Shaft,,,,ahhhh extra long,,,just to take the 2nd Spindle for the Cruise Cable.

I want Cruise,,,,,

Denham,

I haven't put my speedo on yet, too busy. Hope it's easy enough to do by myself as I never dismantle my dashboard before.

Does anyone know if that speed check thing on Princes Fwy from Geelong inbound still works? The one that displays your speed on the monitors under the crossover bridge. Ever since they had a roadwork there I never seen em working again.

That's one place where you can check if 100 km/h on your speedo is really 100km/h. Or you cross reference with another car, ask your mate/bro/sis to follow you doing 60/80/100 and then check if their speedo reading and yours are similar. I did that once with my old 86 Cressida and found that to cruise at "real" 60km/h, I need to speed up to 70km/h as that old speedo was buggered!

No wonder when I drove that old car 60km/h on the main road, 10 out of 10 ppl are tailgating me! In reality, I was travelling 50km/h only hahaha...

nice price rev ~ they must have dropped recently!

rs73: the speedo check is back up! I have used it twice in the last few weeks ~ my reading was only 1 km/h out. Needle was dead on 100 and it reported 101 - I got exactly the same reading twice.

so in theory being 1% out isnt too bad, plus its better to know which way its out too [doing 60 for me is really 60.6].

Considering I have different sized wheels and tyres to standard this is very acceptable. Standard ones will be near on dead accurate cause I know from calculations which way it will go.

Sorry started to get a bit carried away there.../end rant :D

its better to actually drive past those speed checks at like 160km/h they flash * slow down slow down *

Remember when they started those 50km/h in built up areas speed limit and they had those mobile speed check down sidestreets? Well there was 1 down my street for about a week so me and my friends played games in the night with it to see who could get the fastest speeds from certain points down my street to the speed detector.

    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting
