Gah shouldnt have gone, all i could think about from after my run until now is what i need to do/spend in order to get more power and beat Leighs Forester haha.

142.2kW :)

On the topic of redemption, what are some good starts for upgrades, goal is set at 200kW by the next dyno day.

Cejay warned me about this at the Shannons Wheels haha "Lets see how long you leave it stock"

Was a lot of fun though, had to head off early though to get some things done in canberra before heading back to work so probably missed some good runs, dam work :X

Big props to a20089 for organising the day I thought it went very well and it has a much more group/social feeling to it than other dyno areas having that big screen. Plus I must say I was very impressed with the way Ultimate tunes handled the day as well... they had more than enough staff on hand, were happy to explain exactly what everything meant and even customised my dyno run when I asked them too so thanks Christian and the boys. Let me know when you can do some work with 07 XT foresters :P

Also i know it's not a skyline but here is my dyno sheet :P

Thanks for a well organised day. Yeah, there sure were plenty of people looking after each run, which was nice. I'm pretty (well, very) happy with how my car went. I should thank Julian (widebody32) for getting it in its current shape!

It was good to meet you John, and to catch up with Ben (Sl33py).

Even though I couldn't stick around for the whole day yeah was great fun! Thanks John/a20089. as Adam said, good to catch up with the people we've met previously, and meet new ppl - Luke et al. Yeah the big screen made it more social, instead of cramming in and craning your neck to see a tiny CRT on a desk :P Wish my car was ready, but at any rate I'll definitely go back there for a run when it is. Very nice setup at Ultimate Tunes.

Also good to see that (assuming my car runs as it did last time), it's pretty healthy compared to other R33s :P Hope those who can will post their runs as suggested above!

The R31 was impressive (think Jester was suprised as well from his response "WTF is THAT??!" hahah), a20089 - did you catch the dyno guys choking with all the fuel in the room? hahaha And what was emblem on the front of the Liberty that looked like and L and then another upside down L underneath it? Some japanese badge?

Time for an avatar change Adam? heheh - thanks for the quick spin!

Edit: haha changed your avatar before I could correct my typo :D

And, just like that, my car is now up for sale (much to sl33py's dismay I'm sure).

Here's the link for anyone interested in seeing the dyno sheet, if not the rest.

I'm doing it a little sooner than I'd imagined.. and I'm feeling pretty crap right about now; but who knows, maybe I won't get any bites and I can keep it a while longer :(

I figured I'd try and let go of it while the going was good. Maybe I'll actually be able to start saving again!

Haha.. oh well, it's a decision we all have to make sooner or later. I plan to drive mine until fossil fuels become illegal :( Having said that, only 20 minutes ago, I just found out my steering rack is munted and needs reconditioning/fixing, and it's tie rod ends are buggered as well. Another 1k into the black hole!

Damn, sorry to hear that. Bloody cars! :(

Yep, of all the cars, mine pumped the most fumes. It was like a 80's dance party with dirty smoke.

The emblem is some special one, unsure what is was exactly, I'll have to ask Raymond.

Hate to hear you need more repairs. I guess I'm happy to live with a dirty rear end if the rest of the car doesn't break down.

It shouldn't cost anywhere near that for reco rack and tie rod ends.

If you want a quote i can find out tomorrow from Active.

Gday widebody32: From memory of the phone call - it's 400 to reco the rack, but 700 if the pinion is buggered, or something about leaking (which he suspects), and 120 for each tie rod end. I think that's fitted.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By Milkmun · Posted

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.

      Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.

      It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
