hi, by real name is brendan and i have been reading lots of threads and decided i would register. i havent got a car yet but look foward egerly to the day i drive an r33 home, but this will probably only happen when i get my p's so i will have to be non-turbo which sucks. firstly i would like to ask are racing seats (ie. sparco) street legal/willl the pass road worthy in queensland?

also, does anyone know whats happening with the learners age changing, my brother said they were changing from getting them @ 16 with 1 year/100hours to 2 years/200 hours @ 17, can anyone shed some light on this?

thanks.

i haven't heard anything about it, and there is nothing about it on the QLD transport website either. if you have your L's already then it wouldn't affect you anyway.

as for putting in racing seats, don't bother in an NA. the stock skyline seats are good and you'd just look like a cock having one in a NA. even in a turbo they are a bit stupid unless you actually go to the track. to make them legal you need to get them engineered. as to whether they are a legal modification for a P plater, i'm not sure. wouldn't surprise me if they weren't.

L's still a year away but i thought id sign-up and get some knowledge so when i get my L's next year (and hopefully my S2 r33) i wont need to look through old parts of the forum, spend ages searching, repost a question, etc. and i'll know exactly what i want and what to look for when buying.

but yeah, their website still says 16yo minimum so... but if they change before i get my L's i'm going to rage at them :domokun::laugh:

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
