Hi guys picked up my 97 gtsts yesterday freshly imported :D

One of the issues i just noticed is that my Odomoter for the current trip (So the one on the bottom) is flying!

I drove it from Baulkham Hills to Blacktown which is Max ~15km i'd say.

I reset the odomoter at the start of the trip and when i arrived at blacktown it said 60~ kms.

Any suggestions / is this fixable?

Cheers

Colin

id say the odo milage had a nice little hair cut before it left Japan and they stuffed up putting it back together.

id either ignore it or buy a 2nd hand one to replace it (not worth fixing). Either way, id do a 100,000km service and full fluid drop asap.

And congrats on the new car :yes:

dont be to worried about someone taking kms off your odo, every non gtr is probably in the 200k kms :)

just do what everyone seems to do and buy a new odo, rack up 70,000 kms and when you want to sell it polish it. mint condish bro.

So on your way to Blacktown your 'odo' "was flying" up to 6000rpm?

jk

Glad it's sorted Colin.

And yes, you might as well "confess" right here!

Leave it to us as to whether or not you receive absolution for wasting 2 mins of our lives!

Hey Terry,

I went to carbon car systems to get my alarm installed and must say best blokes there, friendly and honest. I wanted to get a more expensive Viper system but they told me it wasn't worth it / not suitable for me etc and sold me a mongoose system fitted instead. Told him i found his business on SAU and he was like yes Mr terry!

Going back this week to get my head unit installed =D

Awesome guys would recommend !

That's great Colin!

On one occasion when a quote was given to supply & instal, they needed an extra part that they'd run out of. They went into Blacktown to procure the part but insisted on not charging me any extra. They even apologised for taking up extra time.

Good old fashion service at Carbon Car Systems & Daniel Gardener.

Chris Rogers in Brisbane has the same service approach.

Got my head unit installed today on short notice (had about 4 cars there but squeezed me in) Found out my two front speakers where dead... Didn't charge me an arm and a leg to get things installed and replaced.

Very happy with their service still and can't wait till they start doing their tinting so i can go back and get some more work done :D

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.
