Hi Terminal, haven't been on for awhile... the gtr's been off the road... had to get a few things fixed and I was driving a hire car for awhile, you don't know what your missing till you drive a complete s**tbox.. anyway glad to be in the gtr again, will try and make a friday soon

btw, did you get your 2nd dan?

Nah i have the grading in 3 weeks. i have a comp in 2 weeks in moss vale, hopefully i don't get too injured to grade. glad you've got your car back on the road. i know what i'm missing now driving my old skyline again after having the madwagon for a year, but the wagon still dominates in style.

kool 2nd dan, i take it thats taekwondo ranking? does that mean kyu and shihan is taekwondo too? or am i just talking tekken 5?

Dan is used in most martial arts, Kyu is japanese and is used for colour belt rank, taekwondo use the term Gup for colour belt ranks. Dan is used for black belt rank. i have no idea what shihan is from, probably means master or instructer in japanese

Haha damn you beat me to it, i was gonna post up that i saw you, i saw you from miles away and chased you down, thats why i made sure i caught up and gave a wave, i would have gone the same way home as you but needed petrol in Phillip, car is looking hot as always  :huh:

Heh.. yeah the Z doesn't exactly blend in to traffic, neither do 'lines for that matter :D

You scared the crap out of me going around that round-about in the inside lane, when I first saw you out of the corner of my eye. I am not used to other cars going through round-abouts anywhere near as fast as I usually do. If you were driving a comondore you would have flown off the road at that speed.

P.S are you guys still having regular get-togethers?

Heh I only was sure it was you a split second before you stuck your arm out the window, I couldn't remember how I could be sure it was you, then it hit me - R34 wheels :D

About an hour before I saw Leech I had an encounter with FoX on the Monaro highway

haha yeah i didn't think you had seen me sneak up on you so when we hit the round about i slammed it into 2nd and floored it to catch you lol.

It would have been good if we had kept going without the bloody traffic, oh yeah, i want your car :D

Also spotted me gassing it to catch up to Ewen's 33 last night on knoke av just b4 he turned up into his street, i caught you just as you turned at the last round about but i dont think you noticed me.

Also spotted a black 33 leaving the Lanyon shops this morning at 11.30, it also could have been Ewen but it may have been a bit early for you :)

Spotted a maroon R32 with red ACT plates in belco, drove past across benjamin way

I spotted this as well. Parked outside Autobarn in Belconnen, looked hot as. Same colour as mine, had tasteful 18's on it and more importantly was a GTR(unlike mine :D lol.). Took a few pics of it but didnt get time to tell him to join up here, hadn't seen it around Canberra before.

    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
    • STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
