  1. thanx for that.....you can find anything out on this site!!!
  2. Yeah, the "back way" to Wakefield is via Bungendore and Tarago. Takes about an hour (if you're slow) and is a pretty good road. Does any one know what the parking situation is like at the track?? I heard you have to park down the road a bit and walk or mini bus it??
  3. I'll "second" the Wakefield Park option......
  4. Good thanks Jay, sounds like the cruze will be fun. I'm still waiting on the extrs bits for the Profec so it's still not installed....giving me a large dose of the shits actually!! should be able to meet up for the drive anyhoo...see you then.
  5. sounds like there might be a few of us hey.......I saw a bunch of Skylines one Sunday at the Caltex servo in Q'beyan....might be a good place to meet before a run??
  6. Yep, wife and I will be there......coast sounds good but remember the traffic will make it dangerous.....don't want to sound like a nancy but a nice clear run might be more fun. See you wherever it is!!
  7. Is the dash thingy sold or not?? No fuss buyer waiting 4 reply!!
  8. To all who are considering buying one of these sets, you won't be disappointed. Mine were installed yesterday, I am very happy with them.....much better than the origional. Excellent job, thanks Jay!! Chris.
  9. F***ed if I know.....the guage displayed the same as the fancy big machine at the workshop though....so I'd say it's reliable....
  10. yep, it's a series one.....I have an auto meter boost gague, with the origional disconnected. As mentioned above the car now runs smooth, I just need a reliable and controlable way of reaching the 10.5 psi it now reaches through a restricter. I don't think it needs to boost any higher than that.....just want to get there a bit quicker!! Ta
  11. sounds like a good tip..... only with mine the problem has been cured by removing the cheap and nasty mechanical boost controller.....all I need to do now is work on restoring the kick ass power I was used to. From what I have learned recently a good electronic boost controller is the way to go. Cheers Chris
  12. thanks, i'll get back to you in a couple of days if I need it.
  13. Thanks for that. The information you have given me all ties in with what others have told me. I am currently looking at an Apexi AVCR for around $550.00. Sounds like this should do it. Cheers Chris
  14. sounds like exactly the problem I am having....(see my new thread) if i get to the bottom of it I will let you know.
  15. Hello all, I am new to this as I have not long owned the car and appologise to those who have heard it all B4.......I own an R33 GTST, which is all but stock other than a cat back, air pod and very basic screw type boost controller (Turbosmart). I have been experiencing problems with the car sort of "surging" and "hesitating" under acceleration (running 12psi boost). With alot of trips back and forth to the workshop the problem has been narrowed down to the mechanical boost controller, which has now been removed. Apparently when running high boost these types of controllers are simply not reliable. At the moment I am running a simple restrictor giving a max of 10.5 psi boost. The car now drives nicely with smooth power delivery except for the fact that it will only boost to around 5 psi until the revs are up over 4-5000. This gives it a two-stage feel rather than an immediate burst and a flat 12psi. I don't like that kind of "step" in the boost and now find myself changing alot more gears and revving the car more, origionally you could drive the car quickly and realy not need any more than 5000 rpm. My question is.......will an electronic boost controller solve my problems (possibly with a little less boost)????? If so which one???? Any advise would be greatly appreciated B4 I go and waste $1000 Cheers Chris
