:worship: Gouger is the only place to get my super late non-fast food dinner ...... although the stir frys could sometime be as "fast" as the HJ's a bacon deluxe bugger! :(

mmm Ying chow ;) if there not busy and you ring before hand 10 mins till it ready, ill try and say hello next time.

See a fair few others couple of white 33's and red one parked infront of THE BOG ( bar on gouger) a bit.

Spotted a red 32 gtr with plates RRR032 on the way home on main north rd tonight . Followed behind him a bit then went past him and he followed me a bit . Both of us turning into gawler at the Mallala turn off . Clean looking car mate .Turned on the interior light for a second so he could see me wave LOL. :worship:

i reckon i saw you the other night yours silver with r32gtr plates? if so i was following u for a bit mby munno para shops i was in my jeep :wave:

also spotted grey 33 gtst plates kirby with a chick driving and also spotted a silver 4 door r34 with r344me plates bvlonde chick driving all in munno para area!

On my lunch break saw a nice stealthy black Stagea at St Agnes. First thought it was Grim but, had an older lady driving it.

Definitely wasnt me....the 260 decided to drop a turbo and suck the blades back into the motor, way to destroy a pricey rebuild!

Oh Jesus, that's bad luck Ben, you just got her rebuilt!!! That's a lot of cash out of the window! Feel sorry for ya bud :domokun:

Cheers luke, only just finished running it in pretty much and now its back in the shop pulled to bits! The RS4 will have to go soon to help pay for that, aswell as a wedding im trying to pay for! Perfect timing really!

Oh yeah, when it rains it pours! Just curious, did you upgrade the turbos when you were doing the first rebuilt or did they remain stock? If they were new I'd be pretty pissed! Still got the video of you the last big cruise we went on, hearing your car take off gives a nice feeling in the pants :domokun: Hope to hear it again soon!

Nah they were still the stock ones forunately, but its not worth replacing them so im just going to upgrade them now! Wont see there full potential though until i can afford to do the computer, cos the stock one is already struggling!

Yeah it certainly puts out a nasty note, i cant wait to hear it again either!

Good stuff! Well I know it's little consolation but when you get it back atleast it will be badder than ever! Just getting mine back this arvo with some suspension work done to it, got a camber kit fitted to so should be able to dial in a degree or two more than usual :domokun:

Best of luck buddy

aww that sux ben hope its not off the road too long

spotted the dark blue R33 this afternoon prolly a S2 colour with a blond chick driving it front mount stock bar and number plate off to the side :(

spotted something else but it escapes me now :(

    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
    • Skip the concrete, we just need to smooth a field. Mark knows how to drive a grader Duncan   I reckon 100x100 flat area for skid pan style, and then some sort tracks for rally... Duncan's already got a rally car on the premises to...
    • Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
