im sure alot of people are, theres so many jdms in newy but no events or anything.

i spose ill organise it and people can either choose to take there atmo BOVs off etc or not.

i got nothing to worry about myself only stealth shit :)

quiet exhaust, manual boost controller etc.

ill drop a link in here.

Although I'm from the coast I'd be happy to drive up to newcastle for a meet up, especially since the thursday night SAU meet here on the coast fell through after police put an end to it.. Now all there is here is a bunch of pulsars and lancers revving it in an undercover carpark.

Also I have a few friends who would be keen to drive up. We definitely need to avoid the foreshore but...

Spotted very nice looking and sounding black 32GTR going through East Maitland this morning

They got stuck in traffic and I had a good look and listen to the car

Also had a LOL at the guy in the BMW convertible a few cars back, must have been cold driving that thing

Spotted two Skylines this morning

White 33 with no rear spoiler passed me just at the start of the road to nowhere at jesmond and cut across to take the uni exit

Then had a blue 33 go past about just after that straight

Think I saw them turn off at the Hexham bowling club but not sure as I was watching the line of traffic in front at the time

Silver r33 gtr I think, drove past my work in Hamilton today just after lunch, brightened up what was a dull meeting, cheers!

And saw a black 32gtr a couple of times on hunter st yesterday afternoon.

Hey guys, don't mean to be a pest, but I've recently offloaded my r33 and have some remaining parts I'm looking to offload. Ive had them up for a little while as pickup only, but as of this week I'm looking for a new job and want them gone this weekend, hence the prices. Pickup on the central coast (lake munmorah) or possibly stockton way from my parents house.

Splitfire coilpacks- (series 2 rb25det) $220

Standard gtst exhaust, complete from dump pipe back- $100

1x Standard r33 gtst ecu, manual, series 2- $50

1xReflashed r32 ecu, suited for rb25det, 12psi, fmic, full exhaust- $50

would the splitfires go in an rb25de?

would the splitfires go in an rb25de?

It says on the box they do. They are the model with the igniter, so that series 1.5 onwards from my understanding.

Model number- SF-DIS-005

So are newcastle/central coast people keen to have a meet up ? say every fortnight or monthly...... If theres enough interest i will start a thread in events for a newcastle/central coast meet.

as for location that will be decided as a group descision if people are keen.

cheers :cheers:

I am semi keen,wouldnt mind meeting some new people, since i dont no anyone of the forum.. I always see plenty of skylines about. Not keen on the police though... Defo not keen on the foreshore!!

Spotted a white r34 on newcastle road about 1pm, a white a r33 on park ave yesterday about 3pm and a white r35gtr on steward ave about 4:30pm.

I'm only in newe 5 days a fornight now, so i'll be hit and miss for a meetup.

It's so strange for me. Where I'm from every weekend a car club would cruise up the main street along a foreshore and park up near a light house. I'm talking imports to 1960 hotrods With blowers out of the bonnet and everything in-between and there's alot more cops down there.

Is everyone just paranoid around here or what cause I've never even been breath tested in 6 months since being here!

I think it's alot less sus driving slowly through a public place early Sunday Arvo and getting a feed, then meeting in some boring cold ass carpark at 10:00 on a Saturday night. Gotta remember we are still human beings and meeting up isnt illegal... I don't know what the difference is between you driving by yourself or with 15 people.

    • The nature of my commute has changed. Way back then it was traffic lights all the way, for ~28km. It sucked. When they finally stitched the expressway together I can do a good 15+km of it at a steady 80-100 with no stopping. That alone has gotten me down to flat 10s. Prior to that it was mid-high 10s. I can't remember the delta that I saw when I got the idle down. It was only ~150 rpm, because the idle speed was never terrible, but for the delta in consumption to be noticeable it would have had to have been at least 0.2-0.3 L/100km - which is not to be sneezed at when it comes for absolute free.
    • If you're claiming the issues are not skyline specific, then either the USA is living in the 90s / early 2000s, OR you have the issue of "survivor bias". Which is you're mainly hearing and listening to those with terrible experiences, and haven't found the guys who have cars with good decent builds and no problems. It happens in AU too, that plenty of people keep having issues, and they keep going to the workshops that are known to be shit "because I read on the internet". Even worse, are those who keep posting on the internet as though they know for a fact what something is, when they've never touched/looked at said item in their life, and again are making assumptions, based on something they read, or because it's a certain way in other cars. It's even funnier when those same people debate the facts with the people who've lived and breathed this stuff for over 15 years. Example, I've had someone tell me you can't do something with a Skyline, because they read it on the internet, except I can tell they're wrong, as I did that exact thing back in 2008 with my Skyline.
    • The funniest part I saw, was someone would bitch and moan on FB about something, Andy would be the one to respond, asking for more info, if he could contact them, what the engine setup is, what their config file was, and 95% of the responses were people just going "der! It doesn't work" and Andy going "What doesn't work?" And then going "The firmware!" And they'd go around in circles as no one could ever give information, and Haltech couldn't fault things on the bench, (especially when people wouldn't give any specifics).   Many moons ago, when Andy was back at e420c stage, he reached out to me, and asked me to test different plug and play looms for him (already had an e420c in the car on his V1 PNP loom). And he kept asking me, as I was competent enough to be able to give him some specific feedback on what was/wasn't working, how to replicate the faults etc, and work through things with him. Most people are terrible at answering the questions they're asked, or being able to provide quality feedback other than "it doesn't work".
    • I say it often, none of this stuff is really Skyline-specific per se. But in general there's not a lot of people who actually know what they're doing. A lot of people charging like they do. Agile software development probably isn't the greatest idea for an engine controller.
    • Incidentally, I also put v3 of the tune on the car and did an oil change from 5w20 to 5w40 to see how it affected oil pressure in the mid to high end. I'm still happier with the thicker oil and will stick with it, but clearly the system is happy with 55psi even if I'm not! It's well within the service manual specs...but they are very open
