I always see it heading towards Golden Beach.

Drivers a young 18yo guy with a long girly hippy hair-do.

There is a 17 y/o guy who owns a R33 GTS-T who goes to school in the Buderim area, he has long hair, but i dont think he lives in Caloundra.

Speaking of chicks driving nice cars; I was coming home from work last night about 10ish along the centenary highway inbound and passed a beautiful black 350Z being driven by a cute as blonde girl, looked about early 20's. Gave her a wave and booted it up the road and she pulled out and did the same and then turned off at indro. She's obviously doing pretty well for herself to have a car like that! Still had nothing on the line though!

Anyone else here from the far north of the state and let's cut out the references to us old fellas. We may be older than some on this forum but we ain't dead. There is still life to enjoy and what better way to do it than in an R34 GTT.

I am often reminded of a quote that my Flying Instructor sometimes quoted, " There are Old pilots and there are Bold pilots but there are no old bold pilots", when the not so old generations rabbit on about how fast they are.

Sure do agree that they are a mighty car. I have owned a plethora of Datsun - Nissan vehicles ranging from the venerable P510 (1600), P810 (180B SSS limited import), Pulsar (horrible little car) 240K Skyline, Bluebird TRX (what a disappointment that car was), a Maxima and an SP311 (Sports 2000). Best of that lot was the SSS. But now I have the GTT what can I say?

Is that yours in the avatar?

Cheers

    • That is typical (for a rb at least) with a medium to large turbo, noting the format of the graph is probably misleading what you see a little (half portrait width but full height, in landscape it would look quite different) Basically until it hits target boost the torque curve is rising steeply, when that is 4000+ rpm it is not great to drive since almost all of your life is between 1,000 and 3,000 rpm. Once you hit target boost the wastegate opens and torque stops rising so quickly. From there the shape of the curve depends mostly on the cams and where they have a peak vs the rev limiter
    • Last of the maintenance items for now....not sure why but the drivers side window switch had heaps of wear on the right front and right rear switches Unfortunately, unlike earlier Skylines the controls are bolted to the door trim from the inside. So....off the with door trim. There are bolts or screws: Behind the door handle cover, pop it off from the handle side Under the rubber trim at the bottom of the door pull (also just pops up) Behind the courtesy light at the bottom. Other than that, just window down then pop off the usual selection of push in clips around the perimeter and the trim lifts up Interesting that they have a bolt on cover instead of the old school plastic held on by goop....I guess they prioritised sound levels over price Then, 2 screws and 2 plugs to replace the switch (looks identical to the Fuga/Q70 one incidentally) and put it all back together. Also much better
    • ok I understand, but the majority of turbo vehicles lose torque, or have a flat torque curve after the spool.  hence my initial misunderstanding. I didn't think this type of curve was possible  
    • It is completely normal. Your original understanding is what was wrong, not what you see in the charts.
    • made with turbo and tuned by (hypergear)
