Once upon a time..in a land far far away..lived Night Fury......her owner decided to take her for a "spirited drive" one evening.....this is how the evening went....till she lived happily ever after locked up safe and sound in his garage I drove the car straight to BP for a quick refuel.....was waiting to turn in and saw a cop car a few cars down coming up the road....heart skipped a beat I must admit To add to that it turned into the road leading to the servo and I was slap bang behind it while turning in....kept the revs down to a minimum (car is now LOUD as) and tried to negotiate the curb pretending my car was just another "high rider" on the road....fail....nearly clipped the sideskirts in my enthusiasm..... Safely into the station I quickly scan the bays and guess what I see.........ANOTHER cop car already filling up in the one directly opposite me.......I can laugh now....but boy did I miss my big boy pants. I guess the guilt of knowing I was going to be "hooning" soon did not help and I must admit I have never felt so nervous seeing a cop car before. Was desperately trying to take a photograph with my car parked up along with a ute in the next bay and then two cop cars side by side...but there was a policewoman paying in front of me...two coppers still in the cars and one standing filling up....and I could not find the courage to...so gave that a miss..........now hating the fact that I missed out on one hell of a shot One cop car drove off and I drove across to the air and water section to check air pressure........quick fill up of the back left tyre that was three or four psi too low and I was on my way...... Results: Races to 6000 rpm in first with a bit of wheelspin when I launch from base rpm. Jumps to limiter with a lot of wheelspin and back cuts out when I launch at 3000....(did not have the heart to harm my clutch further than that sorry) In second she transforms and 3000 onwards you hear the engine note change...and the turbo howl...4000 rpm onwards you can really feel her come alive real suddenly...(nice little kick) Races to limiter in second before you know it.....quick shift into third...and this is where all the power is......rockets off from here...and becomes scary at close to limiter - speed is way into "dangerous territory at this stage"...drop into fourth and floor it for a while..but quickly cut back brake hard before leisurely dropping into fifth and cruising slowly coming back down to speed limit. Take a corner off a roundabout or off a turn that you usually granny in third at 2k...in second..n she fishtails when you floor it.....hitting limiter hard. All in all.......an awesome drive.....I know its nothing compared to the power of a Gt35r etc...but give me response over lag any day...and with enough power to comfortably and consistently chop most cars out there....BOY AM I HAPPY....I dont race...and you wont find me dropping a skid ever etc....so I am not your regular hoon....but give me the right conditions and roads..and I wont hold back once in a while. For the record......I love my car even more now (in case you haven't figured that out already)

Sorry been really busy at work...hence the reason why no updates / news etc. Right.....got the car back. Took extra long I must admit, but at least shes back now. Night Fury's making 340 @ the wheels on an "ultra safe" and really rich tune...spiking at 17psi and dropping off to 15 (on a turbo that usually runs 18-22psi all day everyday - this is a 3076r remember). Summer in Perth can be BAD..i use my car a lot and go for long drives etc..and last thing I want is some more drama !! So I am very happy with the result at this stage. We did crank the boost up to 20psi dropping off to 18 and she made 362.8 which was before whacking in more timing...so I am pretty sure she is capable of a lot more and this makes me very HAPPY Also ended up having to buy a plug for the z32 as the old one was not the best and the wiring kept coming loose. Washed and dried her up this morning (was filthy) and plan to do the interior / engine bay / boot etc tmrw along with a good polish. Also plan to take her out late evening today for a "spirited run" to test what she can now do

clothes *cough cars maketh the man................most of the drivers are close to or even on par if you ask me. If Kubica joined ferrari...I will be quite happy that massa goes..but will be devastated that he is replaced by another tool !! Who gives a shit really...as long as ferrari spruce up the car and alonso continues producing outrageous and dominating starts its all good...ferrari lack serious race pace..and thats all thats bugging me atm I am a ferrari fan and as long as we have a semi decent driver driving for them...its all good (and people like Kimi coz of his attitude and because he is a quiet performer) - subtle arrogance, quiet confidence and a high level of skill...thats what you need to be respected within the circle and by the public..IMO

Option 2 DO IT

Oy man.....Is your steering wheel going to be blue??? Sorry for picking up on something as trivial as the colour....but seriously blue on your car??? why?? How about black with the little yellow bit..that will look quite awesome...and match your rear lip spoiler?? and interior trim !!

Thanks Bubba....he sent me a PM....I have spoken to him before on a cruise we went for.....he mentioned you while we were talking turbos Thanks Paul.....I went with a Gt 3076r btw thanks for your thoughts that day....asked around heaps etc and then chose it as best value for money / bang for buck etc And thanks Mr. Keets..yes that seems the best way forward....dont fix it if it doesnt need fixing.......thats what you get when tuners try and scare you into getting stuff you dont really need !!

Thanks fellas...to those who replied Just seeking opinions....its easy to be a "wannabe know it all" but I find no harm in asking questions...as stupid as they may seem.. better than buying cheap china / ebay crap I guess

needs a window tint...and then....shit man..thats gonna be noice

hahahaa.....mitchy yeah yeah man....my cars still holding up on your clean hey....job EXCELLENTLY - LY LY LY done its also been off the road for 6 odd weeks...bit the bullet n went bigger turbo etc check the build thread..."the evolution of night fury" - dyno sheets tmrw :)

Sup boys n girls..... I want to get a new radiator....... Reasons: I saw a lizard this morning that had the shit burnt out of it because of the sun I walked for 10 mins to the shops this morning and now look like a lobster I have a black car...and its my daily SO.......................... DO I NEED ONE?? ( I dont have an cooling issues...have never had any....but my car is now running a bigger turbo...more power etc etc...and I might need one??) Just suppose I was to get one....what would you recommend?? How much would I be paying?? Where do I get it from?? Also...if I were to sell my old one (stock) how much should I expect to get?? Thank you....any comments / advice / opinons welcome... Anyone with the smartass "do a search" / "google it" / "your a tool" comments....go to hell

easiest way is to get an account on photobucket...upload pics there....n insert them into thread here...thats what i do.....takes me all of ten - forty seconds

Wish it wasnt so bloody hot !! Tuning with this kind of heat cannot be good !! Wonder how much it affects power figures?? Any opinions?? I am looking for a daily driving setup..and its summer..so im not going overboard at this stage.....Shes making just over 330 with the boost at 15psi...but that is before whacking in more timing and uping the boost....which we plan to do tmrw morning when its cooler - today was bloody hot

Said it before..and I reiterate...I love that blue 33 ^^^^ Partly because it has the same sideskirts as mine and partly because it has the wheels I have always wanted to get as my spare track set

dude.....just buy it.....your goin to argue about what everyone says anyway......(by the looks of it) SO IN MY OPINION....DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY IF YOU THINK UR GOING TO BE FINE WITH BUYING IT>>>>>>>>>> BUY THE BLESSED THING... if not...then dont waste time n settle for something different.... each of us are different and we all have our preferences.....would I sell my 33 gtst and buy a GTR....NO WAY...see thats me....there will be heaps who think im mad.... BUT DO WHAT YOUR GOING TO BE HAPPY WITH...five mins / five days / five years down the line your going to have to deal with it...not us on this forum... Every car is going to have problems....no matter how old it is or how much it has been driven....yes there are trends...and patterns...and certain things are more prone to breaking etc.... but you do what you want to do...Im not saying asking for opinions is a bad idea...hey its a great idea....but just remember...you are going to be making this decision...and you have to live with the choice SORRY IF I SOUND ALL PREACHY....im just saying...coz I have learnt to deal with things my way and have learnt one thing.....you do what you are comfortable with...not what 20 odd ppl tell you on a forum....my 2 and a half cents

Spent the morning cleaning out the garage and "organizing" my cleaning / painting products. Lots of D.I.Y tasks lined up and shes going to get a good cleaning once I get her back I labelled all my cleaning stuff and sent all the cloths for washing (gettin three new ones tmrw)....This is a pic of most of my stuff...missing some microfibres and the sponges and buckets etc..but that is pretty much it Think I need to myself from buying cleaning stuff now.....I am getting too OCD !! hahahaaaaa Just realized the shelf tilts to the right !!!

Injectors are all good now Thanks Steve for a job well done....... 5 out of the 6 were seized up ...probably from the lying around for so long etc...however I did get a good deal on them so not exactly upset.....also I now have the peace of mind knowing they are flow tested, cleaned and in "mint" condition. Shes being tuned Monday and if everything goes well I will have a dyno sheet to put up soon This is my ride for tmrw......(sigh)......

Look up Oh the irony :devil:

hey man....wats the details again?? the site updates...so cant really see anything hey

Was hoping the "100th" reply would be a good one...but no such luck.....because the injectors had other plans sadly The car wont start !! not even a tiny splutter / cough...nothing......would have been tempted to say the injectors were just dirty and needed a clean..but im kinda getting the odd feeling one or more of them is Swapped the old ones back a number of times and started up perfect everytime !! So definitely not the electricals / wiring etc... ANYWAY The injectors are getting cleaned and tested by a mobile chappie tmrw arvo...hopefully its just dirty and blocked etc. If all goes well car will get tuned on Monday and since I have work that evening I will pick her up Tuesday morning first thing.....FINGERS AND TOES crossed (BTW...im hating all this having to wait to get my car back...it sucks)

Gave the car in this morning..... Bye bye car.... Hopefully I dont have to wait for ages like last time to get her back

Thanks Anth....will look into that.....though they dont seem to bug me YET !!! Update: Bought a z32 afm off Nathan (Room42) on here this evening... mate....also went for a drive in his stock looking..but loud screaming beast Gt35r for the win So car goes in Monday for fitting of the injectors, afm..and tune

Some pics I took of the car after the wing was put on................converted them to black and white coz it was such a sunny day you cant really see the kit otherwise I love this next one in particular...for some strange reason

hahahaa.....good spotto "TiTAN" (you just had to rub it in didnt you....jus coz i forgot to take a pic of it before dropping it off at the tuners) Lazy me just googled it..n put the first pic up !! BUT in my defence..i said "look like" this...... OK OK......sigh....they look similar to this
