hey,

soz hotsky for not callin , got pissed off cause i could not get a frigin car park in all bloody city, so i just went home, yeah i think next time we need to organize a better place than station pier, it should be sumwhere closer to calder so there is no excuses as to where to meet ands u have to go there anyway, so u cant say it is to far for me to go there, ramble, ramble, ramble............

u know what i mean...............

i will be in the next round of drags as i will be there around 5-6pm so u will have to meet me there...................hehe

**** australian cars, go jap go!!!

yup! There were a few (rx7, 180's) but not as few as I might have expected. I reckon we get a few of our cars on there and at least have something interesting to see and talk about!

Next weekend I should have my nice chromies on, but unforunately its not looking too photoworthy at the mo' due to big crack in front bar...washed it before and its still there :):D sniff..

I bought a fibreglass kit yesterday so its time i learned how to fibreglass. Should be able to fix it as good as new, but its going to take some time.

none of the SAU guys ran their cars..jet 33 watched and videoed   there were 2 lines that i remember, a white 33gtr ran 12's i think  and black 33 plates'ohbehave'(a 10 sec car apparently!) but driver was running 12.70's

that OBHAVE or whatever it is car was in an issue of speed maagzine as some sort of crazy skyline that is well known all around australia as one of the fastets road cars, it was in the issue with the blue WRX and 180 on the front, i think it was issue #3, i left mine on the plane on the way home from my holiday (wanted to keep the da,nm photos of the gold GTR in there they had a huge review on) but oh well shit happens

If its one of Australia's fastest, he sure wasn't Australia's best driver! ;) A few GTS-T's should be able to hit the 12's that are on SAU (spread out all over Australia though).

He seemed pretty young though - did he build up the car himself or did he buy it from somebody like that already??

    • 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!
