Ah ok will check the DIY thread out. If I can find it. Tomorrow job

[89CAL]

Cant find the thread in the group buy section? Can only find one by Dori34 which didnt seem to take off

[PM-R33]

Nah I didn't do a DIY thread for that. Just posted a few photos in the group buy thread of the fitment how it sat up a bit high and what not.

[89CAL]

Lol yeah that's what I meant sorry. Can only find the group buy for dori34

[PM-R33]

Might have been in the Business Traders section and not the Group Buy section.

Had a quick chat to a guy with the silver R34 GTT sedan at a servo last night. Seemed like a nice guy.

That was me. I'll have to get off my lazy arse an come along to a cruise sometime and introduce myself but I've been embarrassed about how badly my cars been running.

It's getting a tune-up on Tuesday so I'll be out sometime after then hopefully. I'll keep an eye on this thread and watch out for cruises.

[PM-R33]

Sounds good man

[89CAL]

This is the issue I had, none of the other 33's with the cooling panel seem to have this bolt on them :S

Its the top bolt for the support for the bracket for the horn + bonnet cable support. Not a big deal, just a bit unsure why it only seems to be on my car and noone elses lol

Also, I posted this in the Mackay thread but anyway, heres my saturday car washing, buffing and waxing effort

Fitted new flex blade wipers as well, 20kw increase right there

tobu, what do u do for a living? not in the army by any chance are u? a sig?

nope, not an aye-jay. I was working in radio production but am currently out of work...

Which means I'm very nervous about my first ever tune tomorrow. If anything goes wrong I'll be up shits creek (lol - living off my fiance for the last month) but I need it done because it's chewing through a tank in 200k's.

Plus - I want to find out if this 3076r was worth my christmas bonus.

[PM-R33]

Who's tuning it for you? What ECU?

[Force Fed]

Anyone want to meet up?

First weekend that I have work off.

Oh and Hi everyone.

mofo, I'm sure some of the boys will come out when they have free time. hows the R31 kickin?

NEVER!!

Next April 100% Airlie beach cruise again. We will get way more cars to go though.

If anything, I'm in second place for carbon whore at the moment, Ask Rob and Fritz ahahaha

Definitely keen on Airlie cruise, motor will hopefully be done soon..... Probably going straight to Dan to be built / machined.

Also looking at flying Sean (HYPED6 on here) from EFI up to tune the 33 at end of year when I go the haltech. Probably going to talk to Dan from MTQ about using their dyno or might go to ARB...... not sure.

[PM-R33]

Interesting, keep me informed on that. We were starting to organise going to Cairns in a month to get mine an Pav's done at SVS.

Meh its got the classic rb25 misfire anything over 10psi.

Ive checked the gaps, and they are all 0.6-0.7mm

Checked the coils, and I cant seem to see any cracks?

Ill just save up for the splitfires.

...annoyingly, no where near as quick as my old corolla.

Also saw PM-R33 car out at autobarn.

Saw when you were being interviewed.

Seem to know your shit eh?

[Force Fed]

Sweet as, I'm keen either way. Only seeing good results from them. Will let you know though.

Also, fitted up the EVC-V over the weekend. need to 100% it, but this is how it will look from the outside.... and yes, that is a speed readout - going to have the "high boost" setting set to unleash full boost at over 80 / 100km/h..... we will see though. Took some time to make the panel though, Dremel and a steady hand with A LOT of trial fitting got it in there, it's not perfect, never was going to be by doing it by hand.... but my god it's sitting nicely for being done by hand..... couple small over "cuts" where the dremel went crazy (or I did) but otherwise, winnah

Phil works there now, he's their resident carbon whore

But seriously, it will be good to see Autobarn actually being worth visiting now.

might even park the dirty tree next to yours, Phil

Chris, when i get a chance I will try n have a look at the 31 for you. You have my number and know where I live.

and now, gotta start doing work. Back occasionally through the day

Also - Anyone else getting Forza Motorsport 4 on release? I'm going to preorder the collectors in a few days. might keep me sane I think.

Who's tuning it for you? What ECU?

I've got a Nistune daughter-board and Paul from Xtreme is doing the tune today. I've heard both good and bad things but frankly no one else in town I talked too seemed at all interested in dealing with the nistune. The quotes I got from other places were about 100x more than what Xtreme offered but I had to wait because they are installing a new dyno... which didn't turn up so he'll be doing the tuning on TMS's dyno.

Here's a rundown of the car for anyone interested:

- Unopened RB25DET Neo (omg, trip-tronic~!)

- Garrett 3076r turbo

- 3" exhaust and FMIC by Hi-Flow

- Sard 8mm Fuel Regulator

- Z32 AFM

- Spitfires coils and some platinum sparks

- K&N POD

- NISTUNE daughter-board

- Larger transmission cooler

Anyone want to make guesses on how much KW that'll give me? or if it'll just grenade?
