haha yeah i saw your car there.

Studying Industrial Engineering & Engineering management (IEEM) 3rd year atm.

Course has been cancelled at uni, im the last group doing it :)

How bout your self? Get some sau-vic stickers :)

haha cool

ye i'm the last of my course too

5th yr BEng(mech)/Btech(aero)

Phatboy - Techsport, the Evo people are around the corner from Racepace. I used to drop people at Racepace when out at Techsport and vice versa. :D

Haha, I see, Alan. Well when I have kids I will likely get an Evo as a family car, so I guess I will be making lots of trips to Bayswater for both cars :)

when? today? well that was yesterday, there was vicroads cars all over the place and cops looking up the street with binoculars. Cops looking under cars, under bonnets, at tyres...... but no drug bus.

I was talking about Thursday. Must have been at a different time because I went through there at 8pm and there was nothing except a drug bus in Ringwood.

drove next to a silver s2 r33 coupe down stud road near knox, i was deliverying a pizza.

You deliver pizza in your skyline? :blink: That's funny, sounds like an Aussie version of Initial D. (Like Takumi delivering tofu in the Fujiwara Tofu Shop race-tuned AE86).

Do you get decent mileage with your GTS? Hope your boss pays for fuel.

spotted a silver 33 going down collins st around 5ish yesterday.. I've seen him a few times recently.. its not Dogknight is it??

Also spotted a red 32 gtr on collins st round 5:30ish trying to run me down (j/k)

And spotted Yawn again too at about 6:30.. do you work across the road from there? I've seen you parked there a few times now :blink:

oh also spotted a white 34 in a carpark near Spring St on err Tuesday maybe.. would have left a spotted card but didnt have time!

LOL! Next time we will see him delivering Pizza up in the hills going through the twistys and the pizza will still be nice and hot. :blink:

lol, i get about 380-400 k's on a full tank of 98 just driving around the knox area so yeh its kinda gay.. but i get some back on tax i guess.

Actually funny you should mention it, lets just say pizza and twistys don't mix.. the pizza just ends up folded in half and i get yelled at.. :blink:

Other then that on Sundays i drive the pizza hut Yarris and have some nice drags, usually with bombodoors, but still really funny. (takes a while for that thing to get to 150)

And spotted Yawn again too at about 6:30.. do you work across the road from there? I've seen you parked there a few times now :wub:

On Collins? I dont remember being there yesterday :happy:

Nah I just stay nearby, I was beginning to wonder if anyone from here came to the CBD much. You work there?

saw a white r33 with personalised number plates but cant remember what they were, i saw it driving past the airport behind me then up near airport west before turning right not sure if it was a member or not but i was in a r34 4 door hopefully you spotted me as well lol.

Spotted CAJFLY at Autobarn with a silver R33... well i didnt but my brother (SRZILLA) and dad (kevind) did today

Brother was in his blue Pulsar GTiR

yeh there were a few skylines there. saw another white 33 and a silver 33 4 door there too

On Collins? I dont remember being there yesterday :happy:

nah not Collins, I just didn't want to specify where you were parked exactly :wub:

I did some work across the road from where you were parked for a while, and I still have lunch/drinks with ppl from there and blah blah :)

    • I'm with GTS, that's not an actual overheat issue. That's an electrical issue.
    • So, it's clearly an electrical problem. Either with the gauge itself, or the sender. It appears to be voltage sensitive (ie, alternator output affects the reading.
    • Yes, at this stage of SAU threads, I  automatically assume that anyone here knows that everything depends on each and every setup and its choice of parts and what an individual wants from the setup. I think your misunderstanding what I've said, I'm not saying your curve will move to the right.. I'm stating the opposite; that my setup has a much larger turbo than my last one, my current exhaust manifold runners are 2-3x longer than the last one, the intercooler is longer and thicker (hks 103mm thick), the itbs are now oversized from 45mm up to 49mm, and the plenum is now a larger Nismo plenum that's been port matched. As a result, I'm making more power, torque and boost 1000rpm earlier than my last setup. My curve moved left, in a big way. You guys with 800-1000+hp turbos should be considering hks v-cam or the other Japanese company Sakura who makes RB25 Neo vct adaptor kits for RB26's. they all make more power / boost / torque far earlier and higher peak numbers. Dahtone Racing modifies the Hks v-cam systems to his own specs and he also developed the worlds first and best dbw individual throttle body kits, to complement his V-cam. Every single car is 800-1200+hp and they all produce huge gains in response and peak power. 
    • I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.
    • It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
