I had a quick chat as I was leaving. I don't think he knew too much about the car but it was a silver R31 2 door which he said had been dressed up to look like a GTS-R. Was a damn tough looking car. Silver and had the plates "SEVNTH". Had an aftermarket turbo and other enine work. Very neat looking car. Was very quick too but didn't get any pics sorry.

hey guys,thats me in the silver volvo, sorry if i pi$$ed any of you guys off, all those skylines were very intimidateing! i wish the sweadish brick had power like that!i agree with some of the comments about other drivers, alot of people were going full noise and not takeing into acount of people around them. its a wonder these 'fundays' even exsist with todays 'legalites'.i had a great time non the less 90% of the people were very nice.a few people in holdens could't handel the fact that a volvo just went pass them so they were out to be a$$holes. i strongly recomend good tyres to have maximum fun as it makes alot differnce especialy if you are a newbe as they makeup for the mistake's.hopefuly ill be there next time, be sure to come and say hi.

BTW, what were some of the top speeds you guys were getting on the straights?

most i got was 165klm/h

Hi Mike,

My friend and I were suprised by number of volvos etc.

>> BTW, what were some of the top speeds you guys were getting on the straights?

>>most i got was 165klm/h

I think the best i got was around the same. Was driving an Auto, and didnt have a long enough run to build speed. Guess i lost too much speed through corners. I was aiming for cornering and not speed, so only boosted hard towards the end of the laps.

>> michael. :D

How the hell did you afford a hollenger? my friend works for them, and gear box are like 16 grand.

ylwgtr2>>> yeah that was pretty bloody skcetchy through there!!! i was seeing just how far i 'could' brake.... it turns out to stop from 150 you need at least 50m :P .go figure! it was volvo vs tire barrier, so i closed my eyes and prayed and some how i came out on the other side!

heartbrkr>>> i could't beleve that there were other volvos there!i thought i was going to be the only one, they were pushing hard to but they were just stock. the gearbox was built by a guy who owned the car before me. he had brought just the close ratio gearset and put them in himself. un-syncromeshed so it grinds if you dont double the clutch at hi rpm. he had brought the set awhile ago, and i think he new someone there, still cost him a few grand!

michael. :D

next time i will have the new exhaust and a few other treats.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah, to clarify if the car has already been tuned and has been modified and you want to go from a oem cat to a 100 cell or decat or vice versa.Are you saying that the car doesn't need to be tuned after a cat change if it's already been tuned?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      This has been covered a bazillion times but google wet boiling point vs dry. Motul is only good when it's fresh, once it absorbs moisture it gets pretty average very quickly. So as above, make sure you change it if you're going racing. I run the Endless brake fluid in mind, but only because a mate is a distributor and it's cheap. It's not quite as good as SRF but I'm running 380mm rotors on a Skyline so it's not like they get hot.

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      That's the thing, they still add it and it makes fuel cheaper, implying adding 10% of it drops the cost of 91 by what, 5c a liter? I remember when it was barely half the price of 98. Because you know, 85% of what is in the fuel is way cheaper than 91 fuel is by volume.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Auto electricians that do repairs on automotive AC systems can source service kits. I don't know where they actually source them. I do know that there is one available for the R34 comp that I would need it for. If you have to pay someone to dismantle, clean and do needed repairs and fit kit contents, then you'd probably end up spending a good fraction of the cost of a new one. I would not be paying for that, because I would be doing it myself. My mechanic (bro-in-law) will happily source what is needed. Back in the day (like in the 80s and 90s), rebuilding an AC compressor was the standard approach, same as for starter motors, alternators, etc, because new replacements were v. expensive. After the China manufacturing boom and the rise of the disposable approach to everything, people just started throwing broken/worn stuff away and not rebuilding things.
