Have an iPhone? Look at Dynolicious, TrackDay, Lap Timer, PocketDyno+

Just remembered a consult cable will do the trick too, if you have stock ECU.

Good to see Adelaide getting some more of these types of clubs. Sure, the filthy places are fun, but these kind of places are also real good fun since you don't get all the tools in there.

:) that has changed a shitload, will def be worth taking a look.

http://www.theapplebar.com.au/ <-- that's their website. Judging by the pics from the other week, you need some decent eye candy under your arm to get in haha.

that wont be too hard :)

or you could just stay home and save money for pimpin out the gtr Dan? :P

pimpin brings in the money Damo....just read the rules :D

I'd hate to think what the drink prices will be - $8-10 pints (it looks like they have at least 4 beers on tap maybe double that if they're not repeated), cocktails will be $20+ and they will probably charge (what I consider a massive scam) $7-8 base spirit & $3-4 for the mixer (and then not give you the remaining mixer in the bottle - classic case of double dipping). The truth is that to go out in Adelaide these days and get a little drunk - not paro, not swaying but happy and 'socially lubed' (above .05) - costs way too much. Especially if you throw in dinner first, a dirty yiros at the end of the night and at least one cab fair ($45 to my house). I've dropped $200 on a night and gone home sober.

The place does look good in the photos and it is good that Adelaide has another venue to go to but a group of guys going in without any ladies or names to drop will probably get rejected unless they are displaying some serious wealth.

Fumo blue anyone????

Definitely have to check this new apple bar out one night.....maybe make it SAU chillers night...

was it a big ranga guy??

was talkin to my missus neices husband on FB last night and he linked it to me saying he was gonna check it out....

i gave it a good wrap saying it was one of the cleanest 33's in Adel. (very true)..

Afternoon all.

fark, not u now LOL

maybe something a little more ford like. brutal in its kerb smacking ability.

:)

bahaha

3rd gear open wheeling LSD kerb smacking ability.........get it right

The guy buying it is something like 18 years old, his older brother, whos got a silver R33 himself, did most of the sussing.

    • 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!
