wedge_r34gtr

A haltech always brings good fortune. A Trust/Greddy or Nismo hard piping kit would be look the stuff Also What does a bonnet damper do? what is it dampening????

Set aside an hour when you ring Jim. He likes to talk clutches. (best to ring at 4-4:30pm if you want to be quick). His service and products are great. I have an exeedy carbon twin plate getting a refresh with him atm.

Representing another gtr from newcastle - do mine!!!! Actually, mine lacks an engine and gearbox atm, so i'm exactly 300kw short (albeit it will be considerable higher then this once rectified). I also don't consider the silver gtr's very photogenic. However, what about bakes old r34 gtr. I used to jizz everytime i walked past it at work. I belive its still floating around NSW somewhere:

you should be able to pick up a set of Bridgestone re01's (or re02's) at that price. Walk into tyre shop and ask or even ring. You will always get a better deal then looking online. Also check out the traders section here. Always tyres for sale.

Newcastle people are paranoid for a good reason. When the local cops do a blitz, they are extremly thorough. And unfortunatly it's a small few that constantly attract police attention that brings on a bad name for the rest of us (same story as everywhere..). But i agree a mid-day social meet is alot more sensible.

Spotted a white r34 on newcastle road about 1pm, a white a r33 on park ave yesterday about 3pm and a white r35gtr on steward ave about 4:30pm. I'm only in newe 5 days a fornight now, so i'll be hit and miss for a meetup.

Either are great. Don't forgot to upgrade your sump. Stock sump capacity + high flow pump = oil starvation.

Spotted a chick drivin a silver 33 gtst along maud st bout 4:30 this arvo

The G sensor is part of the cars electronics (i.e like o2 sensor) - You already have one. The MFD G meter is part of the nismo MFD which graphs the output from this.

id say the odo milage had a nice little hair cut before it left Japan and they stuffed up putting it back together. id either ignore it or buy a 2nd hand one to replace it (not worth fixing). Either way, id do a 100,000km service and full fluid drop asap. And congrats on the new car

A skyline cruise just doesn't seem to generate interest around Newcastle. I'll be keen for a small crusie before i move the gtr to Perth in August - providing the gtr is back together and i'm not working of course.

Both true, but from a thermodynamic point of view; this is not the optimium set-up. air to air Intercooler design will always be a balance between drag reduction, packaging and cooler effeciency.

From a thermodynamics point of view, the most effecient set-up would be perpendicular to the air flow (i.e. vertical) which would allow the maximum amount of frontal surface area to be exposed to the air flow. Slanted intercooler = less frontal surface area. More airflow = more stuff to cool the charge. This is the principle behind n1 vents and the shape of some bumps to direct air to the intercooler/radiator. It should be noted that manufactures design will play a part (i.e. were the internal channels designed with a slant install inmind toallow better airflow through the cooler). But i also agree with Ash, any difference would be fairly intangible unless the intercolller was slanted at a large angle (say 15deg).

Interesting idea. Would it be easier to run two fuel rails, two sets of injectors (e.g. nismo plenum can be set-up for this). It would allow a more exact transition between the two fuels and the ecu could be tuned accordingly to totake into account the changing calorific value.

signed. More tracks are needed in nsw, but i would prefer to see a track open in Newcastle (i.e. the MG car club proposal). I feel that would service alot more people then wagga wagga.

Didn't know Paul was doing this....mmmm i see a new direction for my build . I also see my bank account draining too .

Anyone know what sort of timer frame we are looking at before we see the spline pump?

I liked Paul's quote better: "...the car has a turbo and is performing...so id say thats forced induction performance" Cracked me up when i first read it. And +1 on the Guilt toy = legend :-)

spotted a silver 33 gtr on university drive ~3pm today, parked behind a broken commadore

All the best for a speedy recovery

What manifold, dumps and intake set-up are you running? did you port/ceramic coat anything? Your build list is pretty much indentical to mine but hadn't made the decision on -5 or -7's yet. and yeah +1 for rpm dyno sheet.

sms sent regarding stut bars - pm me if you didn't get it. Cheers - Joel

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/getnewrego/interstatevehicles.html thats the link regarding what you need. when you say pretty much stock, what mods have been done? Have a look under the car and make sure there are no hidden suprises (e.g. de-cat pipe) When i went through it, it was basically the same as renewing the rego, but you needed a blue slip too. (It was my daily, not the the gtr) Ensure all the complience plates are on the car and the engine/chassis number match what the car has. (as was mentioned before, you may need to supply original complience paperwork)
