Hey all

had a fun morning today

driving the ceff to get tuned- on the way back i hear a scraping sound on the highway back- thought it was a truck behind me and just kept cruisng

after the truck exited teh hwy a couple minutes later i realised its a bit closer to home than that :)

decided to pull over and find this beautyzaust.jpg

Seem the mofo shook it self loose on our lovely smooth sydney roads (ie parramate road sucks teh azz)

Had a good laugh trying to position back into place on the side of the road ;)

Just goes to show how fked our roads are (that is to say it had a full underbody check at the workshop)

hehehe It makes 129 db at 4grand -unfortunately- sounds like some sort of evil monster though- gotta love that tough deep SR sound -

Id love to bring her out for a meet/cruise whatever- if you guys are keen post up some ideas :) missed the last cruise coz of ahem engineering issues ;) but all good now

Lol it actually made less than that when i got it but somehow one of my silencers flew out during some *spirited* driving :) Its completely straight through up to the turbo -there is a cat on there but it came with a cat pipe for racing use also

Its all good though ;)

Anyone going to wakefield this weekend?

Yeah im agreeing with the condition of the roads in sydney, living just off parra rd near parra, its insane.... thank god the only cars (a corolla and a sonata) i have to drive here dont matter if they get hurt.

how's that bit of parra rd from homebush to auburn...nasty as...cant even stand driving on it in mum's accord

hey another "get cef together" sounds good, this time i should have the car on the road...let's meet up, still cant remember who i met last time, and now the cef might be gone soon...

Yeah icidentilly i was on the part from homebush to auburn- fkn shocking

exhaust wasnt damamged at all- just the part where it joins together got slightly scraped- its hellalot tough :)

This weekend at wakefield is initial drift round 3- would be awesome to see a few of you guys out there- me a couple mates are cruising up

    • A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!
    • I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
    • From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.
    • Good news. So it went up to 16.2 volts as per the manual then dropped to 13.6v where it maintains that voltage. The sizzling sound stopped after that. All is looking ok. Car starts up same as usual.
    • As strange as this sounds (as they are fixed back), my Bride Xero CS seats are the most comfortable seats I've used.  I vote go genuine.  The only downside I've found is on very long drives, you can't reposition your body while driving. So even though its comfy, being locked in the same position eventually becomes uncomfortable. I find myself stopping every 3 or so hours to stretch my legs on long drives.
