How much does a tune usually cost? I have a friend who gets his R33 and evo tuned tuned by his friend, evo tuned to e85 aswell but wondering the downsides/risks of road tune vs workshop tune? I mean if this guy trusts his car with him he must be alright?

off topic what do I need to run e85?

Northcote and generally drop by monthly meets. Don't stress about track days, some minor things already discussed. Your first few times are more about getting you sorted than worrying about the car. I had full length cotton clothing helmet, extinguisher and borrowed some blue duct tape. Once hooked you'll have plenty of ideas on how to blow money.

Just bought a GS342 for the 33, mechanic calls today and there's a pump in there flowing basically double what the 342 would.

Y I always get dicked.

What are the specs on the pump I might be interested in buying, thinking of going over to E85.

I used to live just off Greythorn Rd... Now living in Footscray, but regularly back in the 3-1-0-4!

Cool might see you around.

I was asking more what do I need to do for my car not to fail on the track, for example I have been told that street brake pads will only last 2 laps and then be basically useless. Engine oil cooling was another. Do you guys get this or have prepared for that somehow?

I'm in Balwyn. Seen a black r33 with black recaros a couple of times on Whitehorse/balwyn roads. Was that you?

This is mine but diff driver and rims than that pic. Same rego.

Might wanna change to return type cooler piping, a hole cut for piping is a big no no on a series 2.

Nice car though :yes:

very clean car you got there mate.

If there are any meets/gatherings in balwyn or surrounding suburbs, let us know. keen to meet up.

Keen for that, haven't met anyone in the car scene since I got her so far.

Yeh I only figured that out after I had given deposit and signed contract to purchase. It's on the list of things to do but not at the top.

Should do an eastern suburbs meet, Balwyn and surrounding suburbs!

Out of curiosity, with a non return flow can the car technically ever be returned to RW condition? Or if you got dicked would you have to gain a engineers cert?

I bought it with rego and to buy with rego you must provide a RWC as part of the sale, so yes it was deemed roadworthy condition.

Defs keen for any kind of meet.

In other news... got my first EPA letter... damn that was fast. FML

Exhaust noise. Now to figure out what to do about this.

"Either excessively noisy or to have had a faulty exhaust system"

My car is noisy but nowhere neat the volume of a Harley davidson for example. Seems like my first dose of police targeting Skyline drivers.

That sucks, do you have the standard exhaust still? Makes me a bit nervous, just replaced the exhaust with a straight through pipe from the cat back and mine is VERY loud. Police presence isn't to bad around our area though, apart from the odd HP down Burke road (and It's not driven a lot on weekdays).

But yeah, there's a major police presence at the moment this year. Hopefully you can get it cleared up ASAP mate.

    • The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.
    • Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine  
    • Yuh, My new R34 box is sitting on the workshop floor (in its large shipping box, which is a nice thing on its own), along with a front plate to convert to push clutch. There was no way I was interested in rebuilding my existing one. Was only partly interested in the risk of buying a used one. But, if you want a 2nd hander, I can point you to one in/near Melbourne at least. @Komdotkom has one that should be in good enough condition to be usable. I don't think it's in a for sale thread, you'd have to message him. @redzedhas one that definitely needs a rebuild.
    • I used to love going to Amaroo to watch the HQ series go for broke (eventually stopped due to lack of spare parts) and also the Porsche series.  It was so cool to back your car up to nearly the edge of the viewing barrier and party with your friends, having a bbq and alcoholic/non drinks. It was such a family/mates atmosphere
