if you lookat it one day... wet can be safer as you don't need a lot of speed.. but at the same time it can be more danerous... no grip.

But cruise soon for sure.

Went on an R31 cruise the other night, first one for ages. Was cold but who cares. just makes for more driving in warm cars :D

This tuesday i have my "Northern Street Cruizers" monthly meeting. There has been talk about an "observation cruise" that we might be running as a club. ALL are invited, to join in.

Basically what makes this cruise different is that from the meeting point each car is given a map/directions then are also given a set of questions that must be answered as you are completing the cruise. At the final destination a bbq (supplied by N.S.C., i think) and meet will happen. The questioniars will be added up, and prizes will be given for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places (cars that had the most correct answers). It is not too easy as a few tricky questions are thrown in to seperate the field.

I will put out a THREAD after tuesday's meet, and gauge everyones interest. There will be one set route (as questions relate to what you 'observe' as you cruise). A small fee will apply to cover costs of prizes, bbq and a little profit for the club. This profit will be going to organising a DECA day at shepparton. We still intend of doing it! but need the funds first. That's when we could have a lot of driftin fun :D, legally!!

nitetime is better i think for a multitude of reasons - I much prefer driving at night anyway

ha..if we're going drifting let me know and i'll whack my stockies back on.. and stand back :D

Yeah, i was wondering about the Shep thing.. I think if you throw out a bit of notice and costs involved people will warm to the idea.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • 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!
