average speed was above 130 and got booked at 137 at roma ( damn it).

highest speed was bout 150 on the highway the other side of mt isa!

lol that's faster than you went at the Maryborough sprints... (or any of us for that matter!) Weren't you heading up that way only a couple of months ago when you dropped into wheels on wide bay for a look this year?

P.S. what's with you not getting a drive yet Russ??! :thumbsup:

lolol , well sorry Russ but seems I'm now Johnny on the spot :happy: .... not my fault you moved up there! :D

You were damn lucky not to get the fine for 140 mate, instant loss of licence! Did the big 'cruiser get up without needing 5 litres of oil topped up? lol :thumbsup:

I can very happily confirm I drove the thing yesterday and the mirror is solid as a rock now ;)

I came out late and did not get to see your run mate but I heard that you went into the 53 :P

You know you gotta give more feedback about the drive than just a short blurb on the mirror you know :P

And you didn't come say hi?!?!

Mid 54's actually, but in my defence I'd never driven that track layout before, or the car obviously, quite a bit to learn in six laps :O

The car is amazing, Mark said my eyes were like dinner plates when I stepped out, it's such a sweet little handler, but the standout for me would have to be the gearbox, wayyyyy cool that is!

Oh, and having all wheels spinning in 5th gear at the bump between turn 1 and 2 is pretty funky :)

Yeah we discussed it getting a passenger seat yesterday, will be difficult due to the muffler box but we'll try. Other peeps neeeeed to experience this car!

And funnily enough, I'm the only person other than Mark to have driven it..... the back of my throat is bruised. haha :)

OMG! You got to drive that ;):O:O You get to do everything your my hero! :):P A passenger seat is a must! If there is a will there is a way..Getting a hot lap in that would top my ride in a radical I reckon :O

*I really need to read the above posts" LOL

Sure, its a nice car. But you cant tell me you didnt jump from it just itching to get behind the wheel of an RB20 powered BOHEMOTH GTSt ! :)

haha I might be joining this RB20 clan shortly! They better be all you guys crack them up to be....

P.s Roy your car is a personal favourite of mine..Loved it on song at DECA!

Mate, with eyes that large even girl would stay away from ya :P

Seriously, I got out there quite late and a lot of people went home aldready. Briefly spoke to Mark and did not know that you were out there until I talked to Dazmo in the evening.

That is an awesome time for first time on that track and in the car. Hope you get some more practice with it ;)

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Great to hear you are bringing it out of the shed again. Unless you have specific issues I'd just add the wideband, get a good tune and enjoy it. Certainly no point changing coils etc if they are working. If would add fuel pressure and e85 sensor if you are doing a general update but not if it runs OK and you are just getting it back on track. The other thing is smaller, modern twins, -5 are OK for motorsport but pretty laggy and old tech for street use (of course, if performance is the priority a modern single with twin scroll manifold etc is the go but not cheap). The final thing worth considering is switching to an ethrottle if drivability is still an issue, it should make things a lot simpler and smoother

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      Yeah pretty sure they are m4, but best to check, and perhaps use new hardware Also don't over torque them......there was that one time I lost an expensive engine after a workshop overtorqued one of those bolts and it ended up in the oil pump (no, I don't know why they removed the intake mesh either)

      I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading.

      Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?

      Stagea Automatic Box

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
