Helllllllllooooooooo I'm still here, just got the suspension changed in my 34 today actually. So I'll be spending a little more time driving it around now. I have some sad news though, I'm moving

Blew the cobwebs out of @Sinista32 last Sunday for a few hours. It's great to get the passion back every so often

No you just tried to give him a run. Stop telling us how you are driving like a dickhead.

Ouch... I hate that kinda Sh*t!  

I was going to ask why you didnt give chase but having read the damage list I understand! Do you remember anything of mention about the ute? Something we can look out for?

Yeah its undriveable, the front drivers side wheel basically wont turn and was dragged on to the tow truck. Otherwise I wouldve chased.

Was a white hilux ute with a flat tray, thats about all I can remember, wasnt really taking much notice of it until i saw something come off the back and go kablamo under my car.

A thankyou goes out to the people who stopped (who will never read this probably), especially to the guy in the white r33 gtst whod just filled up at calwell servo :(

EDIT: Oh and a big thankyou to ewen too for coming and keeping me company while waiting for the tow truck, help me remove the front bar and driving me home :D

At least I have an excuse to get some new wheels now...

That's tough luck, i feel for ya mate! Hope it gets back on the road soon, but at least you know it's in good hands.

Anyways, had a guy talk to me in bunnings car park while i was waiting for the turbo timer to flick off, asking some questions about Skylines and buying one. I pointed him towards the forums so he might come on some time.

haha yeah you hated those 3spokes. would've looked pretty good on mine... just think, you could've destroyed r33 gtr wheels had we ever done the swap! go some te37s i tell you!!!!! 18x9.5 in that new gunmetal limited ed. colour. and your front bar was a bit munted anyway so thats no great loss... your exhaust wasn't really "exhaust" as much as "pipe". you never really washed your car so a bit of a panel gap won't matter and i've heard that gtr brembro's aren't as good as AP 6spots....

(lol sorry just trying to inject some humor into the fux0red situation...)

seriously, giz a bell if you need a hand with anything. i work around the corner from you if you need a ride anywhere and if i can help with the beastie, just sing out dude.

Haha thanks for the offers. Cars at Ed's and I should have a total of the damage and what needs replacing today, front calliper has taken a fair hit so yeah, looking at upgrading :rofl:

Also should have wheels and front bar this weekend if everything goes to plan... no they dont say "rays" on them anywhere, but they should look good in my opinion... front bar is also subtly different, looks alot better in my opinion too :P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
