I've been a member for a short time but I have gained a lot from this forum. Thanks to STYLZ7 for working with me in getting some connectors for my Nismo r33 gauge cluster. I don't own a skyline but i have an RB25det in my 95 240sx. When you guys have a chance, check out our forum.

Also I will visiting Melbourne, Au this coming Friday for two weeks. If anyone can suggest some performance shops in the area it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again for all the help. This is an awesome forum. :sleep:

Welcome...

if you like your silvias head down to "driftline racing" in campbellfield, melbourne... there's always a few to poke around at there, including a 180SX ute we're building, and I'm sure we can hook you up with some parts. we don't really have any performance parts retailers in aus that are of decent value like you do in the US or in japan (autobacs n the like). its pretty much a string of wreckers that have aftermarket bolt ons for sale. THe closest thing to a proper aftermarket retailer is probably JustJap in Sydney if you're visiting there.

That said... Australia's got as many skylines running around as you guys have corvettes, so you should be able to get your hands on plenty of RB-specific spare parts and aftermarket parts on the cheap.

Good choice on South Melbourne bud, I live there :P

Unfortunately there are no decent performance shops in the area, or anywhere really close by. If your looking for something specific or want to check out a certain shop PM me and if I have some time I might be able to give you a ride doen there.

IMO though there are MUCH MUCH better things to check out than the car workshops in melbourne. Particularly considering the spring like weather we are getting ATM.

Well I really just wanted to check out the car scene here. If you know of any of the local car spots/hang outs around the area maybe we can hook up. I'm staying at the Quest on Dorcas on 8 Dorcas Street. Tomorrow I'm renting a car so i can check out some shops. I can be reached at the following email which comes directly to my cell phone. [email protected]

Thanks.

By the way what do you drive? :)

Welcome to Melbourne mate. Most of it's already mentioned. NissanSilvia have regular meets if you were looking to attend a cruise:

Or VicStreetScene, you'll get a taste of lots of rubbish Aussie cars, and some okay ones:

http://www.vicstreetscene.com/forum/index.php?showforum=23

I'm not saying their cruises are any good though. The car's scene isn't as big as it used to be in Melbourne. And we don't have many retail places for car parts, or workshops you can just browse around.

    • I have one and it was at ~43.5PSI.
    • Put a pressure gauge on the fuel rail.

    • I'm running a Haltech Platinum Pro with the stock map for the RB20DET + tweaks for my build. When I started it this morning, the IAT was at 32F/0C (Outside temp was ~42F) and the AFRs went off the scale for my AEM gauge. I let it run for ~30 seconds then turned it off. I then did a smoke test, by hooking into a vacuum line directly behind the throttle body, and confirmed there was no leaks ( i let the smoke tester run for ~5 minutes / confirmed it was generating smoke before hand ). I then started the car again, after fixing a power steering leak.... and it seemed to be happy for ~30 seconds (was at ~11/12), but then seemingly shot back up to ~18 again. I then let the car run for a few minutes, thinking this was just cold start related, but the AFRs never came back down. I didn't let the car fully warm up, so maybe this makes sense, but I'm not sure what to do? The AFRs, when I last ran it, were normal, but because of personal reasons I haven't been able to break in the car. It was rebuilt last year.
