why is there no race tracks??

They have tracks:

Kwinana Drag complex which is similar setup to WSID (good facility!!)

Barbagello (where V8 supercars run each year)

So they have better facilities than us as we dont even have a drag strip!!

Do you mind me asking what you study at uni?

And i agree gotta love companies paying for hotels and meals. taxi's, etc, etc.

I'm completing a double of Chemical Engineering and Finance :blink: *sigh* finally on my last year

There is plenty of work out there but I always worry that I wont find a job! A lot of companies have great graduate programs. I'm think minerals proc/mining or oil & gas...

At the moment I'm happy to move away or stay in SA...

im about to murder someone.

i need to be up for work in about 5 hours,

and for the last 90+ minutes ive been kept awake by the noise of a droning diesel engine somewhere nearby..

how very f**king annoying.

Any one have a link to the rb30 conversion, iv looked at the one on SAU but it too long 290+ pages

Need info on whats needed. Iv got the rb30e from a 89 r31 and my top end from my 33 gts-t. Iv got around 8 grand to put into my engine (internals) but have been thinking of the conversion any info would be goood

this is your wasteland?

:excl:

Yes, this is our wasteland

LOL, You call it that but really it isnt :P

Hmm I need to speak to you about something :wacko:

Will email you tommorrow :)

sif still on the same page peeps....your wasteland is the ghey! :laughing-smiley-014:

get pauly in here to whore it up :laughing-smiley-014:

Well, rather than starting a new thread, I thought I may do a little re-introduction of myself here ;

My name's Lee, and recently I purchased an R33 GTS-t. I've been a member of SAU for almost 3 years, the amount of time it took me to convince the wife a '33 was a good thing to have! LOL

I've been interested in imports for about the last 5-6 years, but took me till now to be in a position to buy one. I'm 26 now so insurance is reasonable (at long last) and I finished my studies in Electrical Engineering just under 18 months ago (end 2005). I now work as an Electrical Engineer in the city, and some of my previous cars I've had have been:

75 GC Galant (first car)

81 XD Falcon S pack

95 EF Fairmont

91 R31 Silhouette

96 EFII Fairmont Ghia (Manual!!)

and now my R33 :)

I also currently own a 2006 Mazda SP23 which is the daily. Well its sort of mine and my wifes. I drive her to work in the SP23 most days, and take it on to my work. But if she needs the car for something else that day, I drive the '33

So a little about me to revive this dead in the water wasteland!! :D

Not sure how many other people are recent members or been hiding in the dark so some intro's of yourselves would be good to get to know people. I plan to make it to some cruises, but work and family generally restricts me to Sunday Cruises, so need more sunday cruises!! :woot:

    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
    • If you do make them, im sure you would have a number of buyers.. Every GTR I've been in have rattly door windows
