Hi everybody !

I'm stephane, a french student at macquarie Uni .... I registered on this site because i like Japanese cars, especially skylines (unfortunately we don't have this one in France!)

I have some questions for you :

1/ I saw at macquarie uni a few skylines, and i'd like to know if the drivers are registered here !?

2/ I think you have some kind of meetings for sport cars, and i'd like to know where it is, and when ... (In france for exemple it's every friday night, at a specific place, with a few runs....)

3/ Do you have around Sydney some circuits ? I just want to have a look, i don't have any car here ...

4/ If somebody is living around Marsfield, and accept to have a drink and talk about skylines, it would be a pleasure !

It's the bad point when you're international student, no car any more, no friends to speak about swap and runs, ... so if you can help me ... Thankssssssss Steph

This weekend has 2 good events to go watch;

Eastern Creek Open day on Saturday, MDTC day on Sunday.

Eastern Creek is a Sydney based track, lots of good spots to watch from, also EC is quite easy to get to.

MDTC is a much smaller place, the track is 1km long. This one is about 90mins south of Sydney by car, the speeds arent as high as EC.

There should be Skylines at both places :ermm:

Thursday nights there are a few people who meet up north of Sydney and go up the central coast. We dont have runs though, we leave that to the track :D

We have a members only track day in May, that shall be fun!

I notice you dont have a car...my R33 is for sale!! :ermm:

Hey Steph

I live in Marsfield, and drive past the uni accommodation a couple of times a day. Chances are I'm one of the skylines you've seen (White R33 GTS-T)..

As Chris said - the runs are left for the track.. Wednesday nights at Eastern Creek they have drags for street cars. As for illegal street drags, if they still happen in Sydney you probably wont find out about them on the internet. Police are pretty tough when it comes to street racing so it's far far underground now.

Thanks for all your answers !!

For Eastern creek tomorrow, i already have plans :cheers: but i had a look on their website, for next events !!

MDTC is unfortunately too far for me .... :)

@evil_weevil : i like your car, but i already spent my money for studying here lol ! Good luck for your sale !

@primordial : i saw some white R33, maybe it was you ! I actually live in front of the woolworth (balaclava rd)...

do you take part in wednesday nights at eastern creek ?

Well weekend after this one (April 10th - 13th) is a drift day at Oran Park, north circuit. Skylines aren't seen much at these days, but majority of cars are Japanese (RSP13, S14, AE86, KE70, the odd A31 ect ect)

Thinking about attending it to see what my Stagea wheels can do. Hopefully in 3rd gear I can burn tyres and not clutch :cheers:

@primordial : i saw some white R33, maybe it was you ! I actually live in front of the woolworth (balaclava rd)...

do you take part in wednesday nights at eastern creek ?

nah dont do the drags on wednesdays, I prefer track racing personally.. my car is not really set up for drag anyway.. suspension is too hard! :cheers:

at that woolworths every now and then so it could have been me.. there are plenty of white R33's around though :)

i use to frequent mac uni and balaclava road that area. And use to wait at the bus stop opposite the car park!

i'll be there in a hour or so to wait for my gf you can come down and say hi if you want

oh ps it's a white r33

i got to mac uni - you would have seen my white R34 in the car park a few times - would be happy to chat if you like

:D R34 Liner! i think ive seen you at Maq Uni... i go there to!

silver r34? might of seen me as well Steph?

    • 65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.
    • 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.
