ok... refer to this post for info on what im talking about.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=10368

Ok so far its all good with Leewah and Ula... ylwgtr aka troy u in for it? and also someone with a GTS-R to represent the old skoolers :P

will plan out a few spots tonight to take the pics from, preferably places with Victorian landmarks so any suggestions are welcome.

so far nothing inc dates, is confirmed. But looking at either next saturday evening (same day as dyno day but after it) or the weekend after.

some location ideas -

-st. kilda pier (only one thing if we make this too large ie. ppl coming it will attract too much unwanted attention)

-southbank

-casino

i want something that when u see it ppl have absolutely no doubt that its melb/vic. also has to have a little light ( cause i dont like using the flash, prefer to leave the shutter open and soak in all the colour and light)

thats what i was trying to think of... i was also going to call the melbourne city council and get permission to get the cars on sthbank or infront of the exhibition centre.

nights shots would have to be the best. just make sure there's enough light. what about the old exhibition centre where imax is, etc)? or is that not recognisable enough? they have a very big piece of flat concrete for a nice shoot and backdrop....

i say we go somewhere not so public (not attracting attention or police) with as dave said the baulty (sp?) or maybe even the city in the back ground... hey ula u up for a cruise tonight to go have a look around? im already in the city as im at work... finish at 12.

how about the pier infront of old colonnial statium/dockland appartments?? baulty is in the background lit up in all its glory.....watch out for the big pink sti sign though.....haha....theres lots of carparks/roads that meet up right under the bridge....very nice low angle shot lookin up at the bridge......

hahaha i could b there in 2 mins!

but there would b to many fullysik cars around at night, especially sat night there to drown the 3 gtrs away :) :lol:

yah a little meet would be nice... i should be in the city in some cafe....... check your pm. colonial should be good.... and those carpark shots looking up into the boltie bridge.....its fenced off pretty bad so the scenery might not be that good.

yes and when u have something to contribute to the topic feel free to post again... if u dont, read the last sentence in this post.

rather than having this one closed too.

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
