black R34 coupe on Main North Rd/Regency intersection with number plate XENA-34 - complete with pink rug in the back window, and a chick driving it!

lol @ pink rug, nice to hear chick driving tho

spotted quite a few skylines today

1 gunmetal grey r32 being washed on my lawn

headed out the back to see a white r33 covered in dust

a silver r33 with its bonnet open around the corner from my house (anyone here own it?)

a black r33 on main north rd at kfc near the caltex - from the looks of the headlights + bonnet shape (nice vented bonnet btw) it was a series 2. also had what looks to be a verilside front bar - bit different

Yeh speaking of which when we gonna see that thing on the road again???? been ages mate! :D

yeah its out to play soon, getting rego renewed probabrly before the end of the week. car has officially been off the road for over 3 months as i got a letter from transport sa or something along those lines saying my plate hasnt been registered for 90+days.

^ duc...im suprised u didnt c me lol

haha yeah mate, i was suprised too.

on another note, spotted a white series 2 coupe around the corner from my house. looks to be a gts4 as it had the gts4 front bar. i thought it was thai on these forums, cause it had its p's up as well.

again, saw the maroon r33 at work (ozroll) and saw a dark coloured - looked to be black, r32 gtst at the front building (bramalco). anyone's here?

Writeoff i've been seeing a white 34 around happy valley for a little while, how was the trip OS?

I might have new neighbours that moved in while I was OS. The Skyline is there each day (with P plates) and a tuff red E36 BMW 3 series. Haven't seen the owners yet.

The trip was brilliant! Germany was unbelievable, highlights being taking a Porsche around the Nurburbring and watching the 4 Australian matches live. After Germany I went to Amsterdam for 3 days, Dublin for 3 days & ended the trip with a week in London. Trip of a lifetime.

Not part of the spotted, but interested to hear about the porsche around the nurburbring. :) I'll be there within 8 weeks and plan to see the circuit and maybe go for a drive if the hire car is worth it :D

I posted my first email from Germany on SAU describing my time at the Ring.

There aren't many places to hire cars near the Ring. Check out this site for some info: http://www.nurburgring.org.uk/

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
