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.

Edited by jukic.j

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.

    • If you are genuinely considering trying to get this engineered, I would strongly advise finding the engineer that is happy to sign that off first before you put the hole in your car.  I've seen cars get defected for this and not be able to be put back on the road as no engineer they spoke to was happy to sign if off.  
    • Apologies, while id like to put the MAF as close to the TB and relocate the recirc, this may be too much work. Will most likely end up just putting it on the original AFM spot ( onto/next to the airbox ).  Was going through nistune, found a pretty nifty doc on this. Nistune MAF Notes. Also, i was looking through the bay, and there seems to be a tube/line connected from the A/C to the intercooler piping ( Between the smic and the recirc), what does this do as the crossover fmic piping doesnt have any connection? plumbing? not sure what you call it but the nipple thing ahah.  Also, been reading up more about crossover fmic in regards to the legality of having the hole drilled for the piping, this would most likely need to be engineered right?
    • My advice is if you need a big build done do it in Japan. The yen rate is so favorable and there are shops that can be genuinely trusted and not micromanaged/carefully monitored every step of the way. Garage Yoshida is obviously my preferred option but they're so busy these days and all interaction with new customers has to be mediated through BBL/Toprank now. 
    • I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body
