Hi ya everyone,

After struggling for ages with my job not paying me, my mrs (THE LEGEND) told me last night that she would lend me money to get a car. This morning I rang her and told her I was viewing one this afternoon and by 5.30 I had bought her. She's a little rough around the edges and will be tidied up in the incoming months. In Ireland I've owned a spec 2 R33 for years but have missed her over this past 2 years, and unable to wait another 6 months to get the cash to import! Finally back on the road boys! I'm in Southport at the minute so i'll be looking out for any meets near at hand. Hopefully get the rego this week and have her at archiefield in the next few weeks. See ya's around, Stevie :thumbsup:

Southport hey?

Did THE LEGEND lend you enough cash for comprehensive insurance and immobiliser?

+1 - think that car needs to make a trip to brissy first up to see me..

I already know of a silver GTR owner that go the hell scared out of him when his car was hot wired in 20 sec and ALMOST driven off last sat morning. it wont take much trust me.

Thanks for the posts lads. Defari, in County Armagh mate, a little town called tandragee. She has an immob already installed and hopefully getting insurance today. How much on ave is the 3rd party insurance vs the fully comp? Feels great to be back in the driving seat again.

      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

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      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.
