I wish they'd resurface the hume highway between villawood and bankstown, has to be among the worst roads i've seen here.

That being said though, i can't imagine it would be an easy task to shut down that much road - especially a road used so heavily. Could you imagine the chaos caused by shutting down part of the hume? It would be an absolute nightmare!

yeah even in stock car its uncomfy and that road is just shit

what about canterbury road lol that road is a joke they did some new bits but where its needed most its left same old

The roads are shit because the government gives repair contracts, obviously, to the lowest bidder.

A company tenders to fix roads, say for example, $1 million. If another company tenders the exact same job, but argue they can do it for $500 000, then the choice of repairer is obvious.

Thus

low cost = shit quality.

lol....

so I'm not just a pretty face after all?? hahaha.

Actually, you represent commonsense.

Pollies try to make sense out of commonsense and thru' their lust for power, they FAIL.

And if they can't get sense across to the masses they revert to SPIN.

Can I tell you what I think of SPIN?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.

      As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
