that was me :)

Heh v/nice car man...

Also saw a white r34 citybound along north east road in front of the OG hotel/OG oval. Driver gave me thumbs up, i was too busy perving on the car to react

-D

spotted a few dark r33's at lobethal on sat nite while i was taking a spin round looking at lights

didnt recognize any of em so i didnt stop, anyone from here go?

hey i live in lobethal and christmas lights is shit just got my car bck from shop last thursday and been workin since havent even had time to strech the legs yet and got to go like 50 all the way from woodside to lobey turn off then wait like 15 minutes just to get up my hill and do a full detour due to traffic restrictions it blows, except for all the nice cars around :(

Spotted what I reckon was Darkhorse's black R33 parked on Rundle street at lunch today.

Also spotted a blue R34 GTT heading up Grenfell St about 12:45. Had a GTR badge :blink: pity apart from that was nice. Wasn't bayside blue though, looked like it was repainted in ford Blueprint with some sort of pearl?

Lee with a kit etc?

Would be the one ive been seeing alot lately, normally cruises around with a hot black 34 and a white 33 with decals. Not long brought over from Sydney from memory. Nice car. Its more of a glitter-blue.

Yep sounds like it Flick. Had kit, mags etc. I only saw it from about 40m away so didnt get a real close look, but the R badge on the back still stuck out :laugh:

Is it a 260 Steve? I saw a black one like Ben's in Synergy, maybe they sold it?

Went into our favourite tyre place today only to find that Chris has sold up and gone :laugh: Don't like the new people there unfortunately, Adam is still there however, top bloke ;)

awwwwww I was going to see Chris this week to get some new rear tyres - my rears are bald in the middle - not sure how that happens :laugh: .... damn , now where local do we go for tyres?

pretty sure the one i say Luke was just rs260 wing or copy

no idea about tyres, chris did tell me i can ring him for tyres and he cant get tyres but cant fit dont know how reliable he will be on this

Run less pressure Andrew, if its getting bald in the middle then its got too much air in there. Which means your not even seeing all the rubber on the ground!!

unless he is doing uber-burnouts like the top fuelers and the wheels are spinning soooo fast that they distort and all that hits the ground is the centre :laugh:

    • Great to hear you are bringing it out of the shed again. Unless you have specific issues I'd just add the wideband, get a good tune and enjoy it. Certainly no point changing coils etc if they are working. If would add fuel pressure and e85 sensor if you are doing a general update but not if it runs OK and you are just getting it back on track. The other thing is smaller, modern twins, -5 are OK for motorsport but pretty laggy and old tech for street use (of course, if performance is the priority a modern single with twin scroll manifold etc is the go but not cheap). The final thing worth considering is switching to an ethrottle if drivability is still an issue, it should make things a lot simpler and smoother
    • Yeah pretty sure they are m4, but best to check, and perhaps use new hardware Also don't over torque them......there was that one time I lost an expensive engine after a workshop overtorqued one of those bolts and it ended up in the oil pump (no, I don't know why they removed the intake mesh either)
    • I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading. 
    • Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?
    • Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
