Not in NSW 13/7 it starts...next week is NAIDOC week. (National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee) celebrates the survival of Indigenous culture and the Indigenous contribution to modern Australia, thats something to look forward too I suppose

I agree T, this thread will be hektic to the power of sik...until it's locked lol

its mine officially

although i don't live in Sydney it was a CRD prepared car so its kind of a Sydney car.

1460kg, street registered, street legal rubber, synchro gearbox, 2.6 litre, small low mount turbo's, no NOS...etc

soon to be much faster...catch me if you can.

wots your definition of street spec?

Street tyres like your standard 17s 18s pump fuel full interior come on guys its just a race we just want to see how our car stands against the rest, it might even be a fun night.

Domonic Rigoli told me that you know the car i have its robs old white one,he managed a 10.02 @143 on mickey Ts. I have only got a 11.1 @129 on 18 psi and 245x18 nexens.

Mate im a 42 year old military aerospace engineer who has spent lots on a car.And like the rest of us on this site i just want to get out and have fun in it. Take a bunch of tough GTRs out to WSID and have a few runs against each other,we can even embarrass some of the farm machinery oops i mean V8s.

If you have only managed an 11.1 than your a long way off Dirt Garages time buddy. Best not to lay down a challange that you cant win.

Did you notice the 18 psi and 245x18s, the t51 r hasnt even started to work yet.

Couldnt you have just said "I just bought a quick GTR and want to know where it stands among the other fast GTRs in Sydney...not "cmon I dare ya"

and FYI I was in the military aswell and have spent lots on my car...but I dont go around saying "I have a car thats better than everyone else's try and beat me"

Yeah i know,the "i dare ya" was Rigoli's idea he said it would be needed to get eveyone to fire up. And i guess he was right.

    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
    • I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
    • Pretty sure they run the same engine as the Q50 hybrid which specifies 95 RON.  I ran 98 in mine for a while, but it made no difference in performance or economy, so I have been using 95 for the last few years.  I have never hit 6.0L/100km, but have returned mid to high 6 on the highway.  Being a hybrid, fuel economy is a lot more dependant on how you drive it.  At 110km/h, mine never goes into EV mode on the highway, so returns closer to 7.5L/100. urban driving can return low 8s if you are careful or over 10 if you are a bit more enthusiastic on the throttle.
    • About a quarter of what you want to do. It's only R7R, not R&dismantle&replaceparts&reassemble&R. ? It is stock. I already told you, you will NOT have broken those. It's f**king 4th gear for Christ's sake. You just chipped the teeth off.
