Just wondering if there have been or will be any cruises and such in Country vic? I live some 120km from Melb CBD and have only seen 2 other Skylines within a 50km radius, and one guy wrote his off a few weeks ago. I ask because I don't get up to Melbourne that often and don't know it at all, only just the Morabbin area a tiny bit (Been to AVO Turbo World once or twice).

I would be willing to travel to Melb now and then if people in my situation (new to imports and cars, etc and Melb driving) would be welcomed?

Cheers.

cobo_11: you have an Autech version GTS4? What kind of differences are there between mine (normal GTS4) and your Autech version?

I MUST know :(

BTW: I'm from Geelong - many melbourners reckon thats in the country too :)

In a month to 6 weeks or so I'll be making another blast up to Bairnsdale one night. Actually its a place 20KM's out of Bairnsdale called Paynesvile or something. I have a friend who moved up there...

It's kinda funny actually. The only 'performance' car I saw the whole time I was there last was like a VR SS, and an older gentleman seemed genuinly scared when I dropped a BOV on him as I went past. The Paynesvile pub would be an interesting place to park a group of Skyline's out the front of... but thats another story all together.

It's a good run down the South Eastern and all the way out to Sale. Speed Limit is 110 the whole way but it seems as though everyone sits on 120 or so. At Night it's a really awesome drive.

I'm betting No-one else would really be up for this though :)

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
