Outer Northside Aspley To Caboolture

[boiracer]

hi guys!

usually thursdays at either carseldine, or a cruise down to see the westies.

best place to test that suspension is at happy laps, we need more people to race around lakeside

Ive got BC V1's and so far no issues, nice shocks

hey guys,

havn't been on here for a lil while just lurking around learning

question I have for you tho.

the Hicas light has come on in the missus R33 4 door when driving for the ol 10 mins around 80kmh etc

there is a little bit of play in the inner tie rods from the look of it.

so what are our options? do we need to replace the inner tie rods AND get a lock bar or is the play in the rack it self? or should we get the Hicas Eliminator kit that driftworks/cartel sells? which replaces EVERYTHING with new arms

the other issue it is having now is when you start it up especially when cold it sort of struggles to bring the idle up, I cleaned out the IAC not long ago and its still doing it so not sure what the go is there any ideas??

cheers

Personally i recommend the eliminator kit. I got one a few months back and love it. Specially if you ass end is getting a little happy. Makes the car a whole lot more predicatable. By the sounds of it you rods need replacing anyway so the cost of new rods + lock bar will be very similar. I got mine from cartel

cheers for the advice,

its only auto and the wife doesn't rape it too much, but her fuel economy is terrible

its stock with only the 7psi all the time solenoid grounded and a pod filter(DRIFT brand dry one not oiled like a K&N)

and we have changed everything except the AFM so far(changed spark plugs today so see if that makes a difference)

getting only 350km till it reads pretty close to E

[SCR48]

A lot depends on where your driving... I get 400km a tank around town and mine makes 350rwhp.... 450-500 when driving on highway...

But yours seems extremely low...

Also does anyone know if r33 GTR series 1 dash cluster will work in gtst series 2?

anything else you can think of feel free to add, hey guys, i live in aroung the nundah area. Wouldnt mind hanging out with other skyline owners around the place. If anyone wants to come help me get my intercooler set up better i would appreciate it

[mattis96]

nice car, might want to get your guards flared out a bit as i can see those wheels becoming a continuous fine

[Excuses]

What's up with the intercooler? Installing one?

My cars economy isnt too flash. 330 when it hits qtr left. Not fame to push it tbh! My Holden use to run empty at qtr of a tank lol..

My wife granny drives mine and can get almost 100km more out of a tank than i do.

but i'd say your economy has alot to do with the auto, and how much she loads it up in each gear (or how much the box forces her to do so...lol)

other than that its all about the drive, if i only drive to and from work in traffic and with the cold start i get 360-370km. as soon as i get any highway use its 400+

Also does anyone know if r33 GTR series 1 dash cluster will work in gtst series 2?

no idea sorry, i dont see why not tho. most of these clusters fit/look the same

car looks good man, would like to see those wheels in person, what offset are they?

What's up with the intercooler? Installing one? <----(like he said, looks like its there)

My cars economy isnt too flash. 330 when it hits qtr left. Not fame to push it tbh! My Holden use to run empty at qtr of a tank lol..

man...you guys have no faith in your cars...lol. run it empty just to find out, i often leave it till well and truely empty and the fuel light is on before filling. i know exactly how empty i can run it (made it to a servo with 2 litres left once).

Holden doesnt count as a reference to anything

on another note, Carseldine and visit the westies this thursday??

[Bergo]

I might be keen for thise ^^^. I'll being the wheels for you to see haha. They are rota p45r's 18x9.5 +12 all round.

Sorry about the double post (I only phone). About the intercooler? Yeah it's on there but only just. I want to try to get it to sit maybe slightly higher or if not at least straight and centred. It's pushed far over to the passengers side. looks pretty average. Not sure if I should paint it black or not.

Ahk, I might be able to help you but not sure on a day as of yet. You could bring it to a mate of mine while we respray my car if your keen for a car talk etc?

Leave it chrome! Bodo painted his blak and it suits the white car, but te chrome with your black would suit better. All to do with preferences.

Yeah I'll try that bodo, see how far I can get:p

that fine adjustment, and straightening of the cooler i found to be the biggest pain in the ass of all

Black looks good, nice and discrete

as for tonight, im keen for a cruise to see the westies. i say we meet at Carseldine pizza capers at 7:30pm and cruise from there.

mumslayer and myself will be at the morayfield BP's southbound on the highway at 7pm, if your coming from up this way

[Excuses]

I'm on arvos for this and next week. But will make it te week after (I hope)

[Bergo]

Damn I have a dinner to attend tonight! Will be keen for one of these meets in the near future though

[Excuses]

Sup boys.

My boost is spiking to 12 when set to 10. Any ideas?

[simpletool]

I'd love to catch up sometimes with you young'uns. I've got uni every Thursday night so have never made it.

Just put some RSRs on the R33 so heaps of grip if I happen to come across some corners. The car isn't being driven much atm as it need to visit the smash repairers for a minor front end bingle.

Getting it prepped for Lakeside happy laps, then some proper laps.

Got to put the braided lines on, rebuild the rear calipers (done the front), put new rear rotors on and new pads all round. Then WINNING.

sounds good man, and who are you calling youngens?

Mumslayer just put some Achilles 123S on his (cheaper than an RSR, but similar) and he loved it at the last happy laps. and they looks good too

I wont be heading out tomorrow night......im tired enough as it is.
