Hello Golgo, he said. Hello Golgo, said Golgo 2...


Recommended Posts

What's better than one Purple GTR VSpec?

How about two Purple GTR VSpecs!

A friend of mine just picked up his new toy. Again, similar mods to Golgo - wheels, exhaust - and in very good condition. Both are series 3 spec (although only the new one is a real series 3). Tell you what - those Xenon lights are bright when they follow you...

Cars sounded good together - you could hear the exhaust notes phasing. LMGT wheels suit the R33 shape nicely.

Might have to get the ICE boys togther for a photoshoot so we can have a foursome :D

Oh... and I'll buy a beer (or equavalent) for anyone who knows where I 'borrowed' the reference for the thread title :D

Had to set up a 'CarDomin' account to host the images. I feel so dirty :D

Every time I try to attach I get a server error. Has anyone got some FTP space I can dump these for the moment?

Can anyone else attach an image to a post?

Haha - not it's not B1 & B2 - nice try though :D

I have possibly over-obscured myself this time. We're talking very old school science-fiction - but recently sampled by Solid Steel...

No matter - the photos work now. Linked from CarDomain. Yay.

Not sure.

Both running exhausts, HKS pods and PowerFC. Both need a tune...

Will tune/dyno them at the same time - then it's off to Heathcote for the true test!

I think Golgo - but then, Golgo is best !

:D

well - a very nice set of cars there!

it reminds me when me and a mate both had proton satria GTI's (both silver of course).. it was like our own mini car club... im sure you will have lots of fun... just dont do what we did and stupidly crash into each other!

Last time I went to EvoR (on Westal Rd) - they had a purple 33 with bronze TE37s in the workshop. Pretty funny :)

An nope on the TtTE reference ;)

I think I have been far too obscure.

Sorry :)

Is from a Ray Bradbury (yep - that guy) sci-fi radio play called 'Marionettes Incorporated' - has been sampled recently by Solid Steel. Just thought perhaps there was someone who might have been a fan...

It's one of those cool Twilight-Zone style stories. Not unlike the sample on that mid-nineties techno 'Dead Eyes Open' track.

Will try to remain more mainstream next time I use an obscure pop-culture reference ;)

If anyone is keen - I can burn a copy of the CD, or email the track as an MP3. The whole CD is great - worth a spin.

I actually saw Golgo's closer twin the other night too - series 2, no bonnet lip - but bronze TE37s. Anyone know who this is?

See if we can get 5!

Just saw that car on thursday night, in St. Kilda. Was about to walk up and say hi to ya, but noticed the lack of stickers down the side ;). would have looked like a flippen fool, say "hi James" to a stranger :).

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
