Thanks Beer Baron just checking out the lastest pics omg i carnt stop looking at them at work and gee the chick with the GTR cap your bloody right very cute the Japanese girls are very cute, all those pics are great carnt wait to go over there just gotta save after i get the gts back together.

How do you get so lucky and get to go over there so much?

Just work hard and be good to your mother. :D

glad you enjoyed the pics :blink:

i had a quick look through the thread didnt see it brought up. but does anyone see what i see in the r33's numberplate

I dunno? I can see me in there taking the pic? is there something I'm missing? did I have my fly unzipped?

well I usually rock on with my cock on, so I thought a change was in order :D

dmac, yes will be making another trip sometime mid year. not sure when exactly yet, I can be a tad last minute with the whole planning thing. will certainly be back in november 08 too.

so come on guys, what's in the number plate? is this like one of those magic eye pictures? do I have to squint to see it?

I dont know how you do it on such short notice i strugle to not go out on the weekend with out being organized i spose its from living in the country and getting home from the city at 4 or 5 is just about inpossible

Excellent Pics mate. Looks like you have managed to experience some dream holidays in Japan! Some great handywork with the camera there too! I've noticed alot of you expressing interest in the things beer baron has shown us. My advice... Go to Japan and do it.. A few years ago i decided to go to Japan. I did, bought a 32 gtr, toured round Japan in it, did it up at all the workshops, track days, touge, drifts and it was a dream. I now have it sitting in my garage in Melbourne as a reminder of my time there! Japan is not a difficult place to meet people, they are more welcoming then you will find anywhere else. So sell up and get moving!

Bloody nice GTR im in love with it very clean.

Carnt sell up atm got my aprenticship to finish and my gtr & xt gt projects to finish before i sell up and go on tour lol but want to do a vist there would be great you should post your pics up in your own tour thread

  • 2 months later...

sure mate. Now that the forum does auto-resize it shouldn't be a problem. :)

I have a lot more photos still but haven't had time or motivation to upload but if I have a quiet one this weekend I may do some. it's good fun going through them, lots of good memories :yes:

hey richard great thread and pics!

i wonder why you dont setup your own blog for something like this? integrate a photogallery on it..load up picasa on your PC..let it automatically upload/resize images..but then i suppose you wont have these sort of threads going haha

im also looking to get a 40D..but think money spent better on lenses..i have a 300D still..looking at a 70-200mm IS 2.8 sometime soon.

was it you that I met briefly at PI?? with the silver s13? i was with ferni and the S2k

hi mate, yep that was me :D

yeah I've kept on trucking with the 400D. I kind of f**ked it a bit on the way back to melbourne, I left it in the boot and when I pulled it out there was a nice big mark on the LCD. D'oh!

as for setting up the blog, yeah I probably should. I never really intended it to get this big, I just wanted to share some pics and stories mainly with you guys. plus I'm a bit noob with blog/picasa etc. All I know is, start thread, load to imageshack, link it in. :D

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
