So, in the event of rain, shall we postpone or just suck it up?

Suck it up, I need to practice my rain driving :P

After the hillclimb yesterday my tyres are exactly how they were before I entered, even though they were spinning 90% of the time... that's one hell of a way to save money on tyres :P

right back at you.

Yeah heaps :ph34r:, though I can still take victory as its my car :P.

Oooh , r34 , specs?

Its a pretty much standard R34 (stock intake/exhaust/internals), slightly lowered (Tien S-tek springs), nistune ECU @ 175kW, RDA gold slotted/dimpled rotors and EBC greens.

diff is fixed, thermostat is replaced, tow hooks on, battery reloc done, killswitch nearly in, oil flush tomorrow, car is pretty much set! yay! bring on 61's! gonna skip past the 62 lap time mark :-P i got a certain red starion to beat!

yep nice , out of curiosity , what sort of power was it making before the nistune? i only ask because mine feels rather soft (it probably isn't , but the last turbo car i had had 200rwk+ ) , that wouldn't be the silver one i see getting round claremont-ish now and then? .

I might even bring my black snotter out sunday , see if it's faster than the hq pinch.gif , i'll see if i can find smaler diameter wheels for it :blush:

Sunday 14 August

Min 4

Max 13

Morning fog.

Cloudy. Patches of morning frost in the north. Areas of morning fog. Light winds.

Sounds like the perfect day, hopefully no rain but some nice low intake temps for your turbo charging pleasure :D

Yeah, I'm out Austin's Ferry way so that'd be me. It was about 140kW standard, ~ 150kW on 10psi pre-tune.

yep cool , i live out that way too :) , i thought they'd go a lil better than a stock 33 , mine seems about the same as one :unsure: not that i've revved it past 5k :happy:

what a day hey!

Huge turn out, met lots of new people.

Did anyone manage to beat their old PB?

I know Tim got a 68.

Dan got a 72 in the 33 and a 69 in the 34

Leesa got a 76 in the R34

Old mate in the starion pulled out an awesome 61.3!

Funz you were hovering around the 63 mark yeah?

Thanks to everyone that gave me a hand today with my very sad skyline (especially toffy for lending me his car\trailer).

.... I guess I have heaps of bits to sell now if anyone needs anything :P

Might be curious for brake setup and 5 stud conversion for my S13 maybe, or even the motor. Just waiting for the sale of the 4 door.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
    • You must be fun at parties.
