GTR-34A

Recommended Posts

Thought i would start up a thread as my other one was abit off topic and this is for general stuff...

Post here any local interest, anything relative to newcastle and surronding areas etc.

Any potential cruise or meets, introduce your self, post up reminders for meets etc.. whatever you want. any other ideas, post it!

Thought it would be a good idea to base some networking for locals, and start getting a strong scene happening.

Cheers,

Anthony

Yea will have to organize a cruise some time soon, anyone have some routes put them forward?

I'm thinking of going to the autobahn meet this Thursday if it's not raining and it's actually on?

A few ideas for routes I have are

1 Glendale along to west wallsend and along John Renshaw turning left at the sweeper to Mulbring and through to Cessnock and on to Bellbird down past sweetmans timber to Wollimbi pub for lunch. Take Wollimbi road to the F3 and home that way. Or could change the meet point to Freemans for any Central Coast cars that want to join

2. Glendale, Mulbring , Cessnock then along to Broke and take the road to Millbrodale and into Singleton for lunch. Leave Singo and go along Queen St past the school all the way to the end and turn right for some nice country road back to Branxton and home from there

That's the only two I can think of at the moment

ha hopefully yours is up and running so we can have another 34R in the mix!

I think even a general meet and greet could be good for SAU Newcastle...

Should we start with a rough time... like maybe mid next month?... need to think of a Pub, overlooking a big carpark maybe?...

any ideas?...

Haha nooooo not about the GTR, about mine being tuned...... Or exploding on the dyno!

Who is doing the tune?

If it starts and runs fine then should all be good unless the tuner is an idiot

    • With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)
    • Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar. 
    • This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
    • Yeah I would like to try and get a ADM car to reduce issues with insurance. I've decided if I end up getting this car I will set it up to be a sleeper build, leave it looking stock/dad spec on the outside I wonder if you can just drop in the 400r/Red/Z ECU or better still use a flashing tool to copy the map off one. Backup the factory map and then flash the 400hp cars onto the 300hp cars ECU?
    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.
