Hullo everyone

Still got the R32 and the R30. Sold the Senator and bought a Isusu ute to tow the trailer. Had the 30 out a few times but have decided to rewire it as most of the circuitry is not needed now.

Couple of things.

The arial on the GTR is broken where the rod screws in and I am having trouble sourcing a new one. Apparently they are made by AutoFlex in Germany, not for any particular model or type. Model number is 7 691 2700110001 Universal top 12v. I can get one from UK for $200 but has anyone got a better idea?

Next, I am thinking of a Haltech ECU for the 30. Been told a Platinum ProR32 or a Platinum Sport 2000 will be suitable after minor wiring mods. Any experience?

Lastly, anyone running Flex-Fuel and can you get it easy?

John

Hi John,

No........ No alternative. I did the same. $200 mask as it screws straight in. The exchange rate was a lot better when I bought mine but it was still $150.

The only other thing you can do is use that heat shrink stuff to secure the broken section.

These are the sort of things that i just "suck it up" and pay the money. I've long forgotten about the money but driving around with a busted aerial would do my head in!

Good luck.......

Bob.

Hey Bob et al'

One of my posts from early 2011 was just liked (thanks Vitalikea) which rejogs my mind about our initial chat on organising an ADM meet and cruise...unfortunately it will be geographically challenging for some ppl (sorry Ken) but I think we should still do this :)

My car has been off the road for a year and finally will be registered again next week (fist pumps in the air).

Absolutely......... I've been an advocate of this for ages.

What I would like to do now is start a chain of ADM owners who visit this thread.

I'll start - User Name - Real Name and Colour and Location.

1 - Aussie_Delivered_R32_GTR - Bob - Red Wine - North West Sydney.

Brad, I'll grab one mate. PM me your bank det's mate. I'll tfr from my Nigerian account, but really, shoot me a PM.

I'd love a cruise but alas, the gtr is sleeping and will be for a while.

3. Boywhocriedwolf (fkn ash), Ken-wine red mica-Sunshine Coast QLD.

The list looks like this so far......

1 - Aussie_Delivered_R32_GTR - Bob - Red Wine - North West Sydney.

2 - Marko R1 - Marko - Jet Silver - Inner West Sydney

3 - Boywhocriedwolf (fkn ash), Ken-wine red mica-Sunshine Coast QLD.

    • Dragging some reo behind a ute or trailer will smooth out a dirt road, I've used reo a few times to do unsealed road maintenance when we didn't have any plant available  It's best done when the dirt is wet though, and then you just let it dry out for a day to harden up For wetting the dirt I've used some 44 gal drums in a ute or trailer, and a water pump connected to a hose with a old sprinkler tied to the reo to wet the material down whilst spreading Basically just drive slowly up and down the road a few times dragging a few sheets of reo wired together with the sprinkler wetting it all down as you go
    • I did a motokhana years ago with ??Sydney Sporting Car Club???, it was on a grassy paddock and was heaps of fun, I think it was north west Sydney IIRC The old R33 boat was covered in grass and dirt, but nothing that a good wash and detail didn't fix And thinking back, when SAU did the airstrip run in Goulburn years ago, where the old 33 won highest RWD MPH, the quickest RWD ET on the airstrip, and best paint IIRC (before the runs down the airstrip) the damage to the rear quarters from stones flicking up required them the get a respray  I would definitely do a grass motokhana again in the MX5 Who knows someone that owns a farm with a big empty paddock  Liability these days is a big issue though
    • No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.
    • The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣
    • Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?
