re; the booze bus.

booze bus was on opposite side of the road, they just gave us a stare as 20 skylines past them on the left.

The cop who decided to setup on the other side of the road would be kicking him self lol

re; the commodore.

After the photoshoot, the group which was driving back to noble park. We saw a cop pulled over on side of road and a flat bed taking a SS VS commodore with chromes. hehe

ITZTRU where were you, did you leave earliy?

Yeah Jamie, I had to leave pretty much as soon as I asked about how big your rims were haha...I was hoping to at least be back in time for the photoshoot after you guys ate, but I got held up...spewin tho...I might just come down to the show and shine to make up for it...

aww thanks man...u love them more when u sit in them haha...

oh ok were u sitting opposite me?

that was me and my miss's

PS: Did anyone see a guy on his 2 story roof just after chelsea macas on the right hand side? he was videoing us all that was my cousin lol so i will get that video off him and put it on youtube so you can all see your cars from roof top view :(

yeah my miss's saw that dude on the roof

WTF :unsure: are those glow in the dark number plates? RBPOWA and GTT4DR, (last pic).

nah just super clean :D

Yeah, it was good not being the only person left out for once. :)

There weren't any troubles keeping up at all. Except for when I missed the U-turn after we had left the car wash I had to push it a bit, second time I've done that now. hahaha

I think my car might've been blowing a little bit of smoke.. Car's running a bit rich I think.

yeah black smoke coming out at high rev's anyway, was behind your a fair bit

Im glad that no one got defected its a good thing i didnt even see a cop on the way home and i had to go through the city lol

Is anyone cruising up on sunday to the show and shine i would rather drive up with someone maybe wash b4 and drive up together if anyones down let me know :D

yeah i'll be washing my car just up the road from there. big servo on the corner, and one before it also so plenty access to carwash

..... i should of stuck around . what time you guys leave the photoshoot ? . i got lost on the way home, meetup with Leanbac around princess pool hall

Hahah I should've taken your offer when you asked me to take a seat. I didn't want to rip it even more. :unsure:

Not too sure what's going on on Sunday yet, but if weather is good, I might make an appearance.

Hrmm that's odd.. I didn't let the car go over 3.5krpms all night. I think it's an O2 sensor problem, I don't have one. hahaha. Seems to only blow smoke after I take off from a long cruise at constant speed.

sounded loud, so just kinda thought it was high rev's .

i'll message u sat night maybe. let me know if you decide to go...cruise up together if you end up deciding to go...?

yea i know how it feels, my car is blowing heaps of black smoke. but no money to tune or fix =[

Yeah, sorry about the smoke if it had stung your eyes or something. Someone was complaining about it hurting their eyes on a ns.com cruise a while back.

Having a quick look at the forecast for Sunday, it seems to be clear. I'm just not too sure if anything will pop up, but will let you know tomorrow night. Definitely cruise up if you're up for it. I don't live too far from the meet spot yesterday.

I think a simple installation of an O2 sensor in my manifolds will solve the issue. Well I'd hope it's an over fueling issue and not my rings. People have told me the smoke is black or white, but my oil drops at times.. :ninja:

Definitely need some light, maybe a day time cruise after the Bday meet up?

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
