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:

http://www.nissansilvia.com.au/forums/index.php?showforum=36

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.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No no. The Audi boost controller was made from a Norgren (or equivalent) 1/4" pneumatics pressure regulator, a similar (looking) relief valve (to create the "gated" function to keep the boost off the actuator until wanted) and a check valve plumbed in parallel with those two, to relieve the boost back out of the wastegate line after the boost event was over. It was the inclusion of that check valve, used sort of "backwards" as a relief valve, that was the stroke of genius that made the rest of it work nice. The only reason I stoped using it was because it was like any other manual/pneumatic boost controller - it's settings changed from season to season. The Profec is much more consistent winter to summer.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A couple of months of gentle driving will be fine. There is a risk that you will kill it. A heavy workout will probably kill 3rd gear. Continued use will wreck the input shaft bearing.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's because R34 RB25DET is a pull clutch gearbox. I have that clutch, behind 25Neo, in front of R33 gearbox. I have brand new R34 turbo gearbox, in a box (cardboard) in the shed right now, and it will be getting used with the same engine and clutch, because I also have, in a much smaller box next to it, the front plate to convert the new box to push clutch.
