special thanks to some toffy lady in a fancy bronze Merc nearly tearing the front off my car in traffic on south rd , while on the phone from the looks of it no less. jumped thru 3 lanes of traffic then slammed on her brakes when I flashed my lights to warn her I was there and thank her driving like a muppet. mind you at that point I had less then a metre from her when she hit her brakes(god I hate people who fill the gap you leave between cars for safety) , so switched lanes only for her to speed up and open her way too dark tint window , wave to me and give me the finger. ....WTF who was in the wrong ???? which was prompted returned finger , a few min later she ended up slamming thru 3 lanes of traffic again , nearly causes a truck , bus and a buttt load of cars to slam on the brakes to avoid her. . and tailgated a car less then a metre away at 80k in heavy traffic. ... I wish I got her rego to report her... so sick of crap adelaide drivers, POT HOLES or piss poor road repairs, Big rig TRUCK DRIVERS IN THE FAST LANE or tailgating at 100k and Traffic in this "well designed small town" GRRRRRRRR sorry but that lady shite me off ..... after daily agro truck drivers on south rd tailgating me at 100k with a full load near dinga RTA needs to setup scales some of those trucks are way overweight spilling rocks and on the phone, its only a matter of time before they kill someone on south rd. they drive like A holes

"well designed small town"

never heard that said about Adelaide before haha

I love Adelaide, I've even recently bought a house - but I have to say this --

One of the first things I thought when I moved to Adelaide nearly 7 years ago now was how badly it was laid out and that the civil engineers needed to be shot. Major roads with no room for growth, no real highway structure, clear bottle-necks that were going to bite it as the population grows, major roads that are bisected by railroad tracks.

I also quickly learn't that trying to logical 'shortcuts' between places is not something you want to do - stick to the main roads, or you'll get caught in the rats warren of back-streets. Perhaps that was designed to keep people on the main roads, but when they're often single laned, backed up in traffic during peak hour or full of road-work, it's a difficult situation to be in.

I'm honestly glad I haven't had to submit to Adelaide's public transport system either. Of all the places I've lived, it looks the most undeveloped I've witnessed (of the capital cities).

I won't even start on the South Rd Superway. What a waste of tax dollars.

Spotted an R33 GTST around Salisbury/Park Tce Wednesday night. Sorry I was holding you up, I was doing the speed limit. Funny how as fast as you blasted off, we still stopped at the same set of lights?

R33 four door on Waterloo Corner Road this morning. Same story.

*sigh*

White 33R parked in the car park at the bottom of flinders just off South Road, looked good! Vic plates. Tonight 7.30.

Few dark coloured 33's heading North down Marion Road, around 6.45 tonight. Both had dark coloured rims.

    • So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?      
    • Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.
    • I did not realise this, I'll contribute more and earn my stripes and retry later. 
    • I'm only going to hassle you for posting links to images. It's against my policy to click links that could be some nasty payload. Sadly, you need to make 9 more posts before you can just stick the images directly in a post, unless @PranK sees this and bends the rule for you.
    • Hello,new to the group, I bought a R32 from auction recently, wondering if anyone knows the cars history, seems to have the usual go fast bits on it, plan is to do an engine swap- add 2 extra cylinders and 1 extra turbo. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i4rjmlzubjbwjtguh6f4s/IMG20241011140744.jpg?rlkey=q0lumm251377vknbqktfwrycq&st=7scvwx4e&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ro24qmwzlczzlfsr4y05x/Screenshot_2024-10-10-10-49-23-90_9a2f5bb2149dae94cd1e190effc09b33.jpg?rlkey=oyguh26ttshlf04ccp48odf4v&st=xloae97b&dl=0   New to forums and posting pics, if links don't work, take it easy on me, 42yrs old and I tune carburettors!!
