Hello all

I took the new R32 GTR out to willowbank tonight to give it its first stretch.

ran a 12.3 on my first pass running 0.9 bar. pretty happy, but had some probs so decided to leave.

Now, as a skyline owner, i was VERY dissapointed at the level of comradery displayed by my fellow line owners...

We counted at least 4 r33gtsts that came from the drags and passed us on the side of the road (Cunningham highway) with the hazards on in the dark.

If I saw a skyline (or an evo or gtir(myold cars)) on the side of the road in the night (especially just after exiting willowbank) i would stop and offer assistance.

You know like teh brotherhood or whatever crap, fellow skyline owners.

All i got was people ripping skids and yelling out the windows.

lol

Huge Thanks to SAU-'EasyTiger' Dave and his mate for stopping with us untill we could track down a tow truck.

Great work.

Michael

woops,

Tommo was logged into my pc earlier on today. :D

so i accidentally posted that as him.

just ****en rotten a bit fellow skyline owners would just drive past!

i know it probably wouldnt happen in sydney with the nsw -sau people i know!

anyway, car will be good, hopefully will be out in a week or so havfing a bash at a better time.

mick

does sound a bit shitty thats for sure, but I think you will find that those people probably aren't a part of SAU anyway.

especially if they are chucking skids and yelling out the window :D

p.s great time by the way :)

yea i'd say the people who drove past weren't a part of SAU. I know that when I threw a rod at the track a while ago there was a few SAU members that helped me out. Especially Rodney (GOR33) who gave me a lift back from the track to the coast.

On a side note, what was the problem?

Matt

Yeah great time :) and if I saw you I would've stopped, I usually stop and make sure people are ok when they are pulled up along the highway, even if they weren't skylines. We are a pretty freindly bunch here on SAu!

thanks no worries guys. :)

was just a little upset last night.

Turns out the pipe from the compressor housing was blown off. lol

damn just a bit too hard to see out there at night. Hidden under the intake and mafs. :)

Might get back out on saturday and have a nother bash as i didnt really get many runs in 12.3 was first run first time out.

Thanks

Michael

Hey Guys,

It was magic to watch the freshly imported R32GTR only running on half boost do a 12.3 pass, however the hour wait for a flatbed tow truck... damn!!!

Tommo got it right... The amount of Skylines passing us who didn't even offer a mobile phone... WTF???... I really hope it was no-one frem SAU..

Especially the two fools in R33's who were drag racing past us, didn't slow down and only just skimmed passed us making Tommo jump off the road for his life... You have serious thrill issues dudes... But in saying that - Sick work for having a run!!! ha ha ha... I'd be taking the oppertunity for teaching the V8 boys a lesson!!!...

There are plenty of d*ckhead, who also drive skyline out there, BTW did you have your bonnet up? Normally I wouldn't stop in the middle of no where for someone on the side of the road unless they got their bonnet up.

But yeah yealling and carrying on are traits of the tools that populate our society.

i hate ****ing dickheads that yell shit and worse when you are at the side of the road, obviously trying to fix things. ****ing wankers!

I've got half a mind to walk out with a brick whenever i do have to pull over.. whoever lets fly with an insult, cops a brick in the car. Lets see how tough they feel then.

Worst still is that when you have your head buried in the engine bay and you mate cruises up quitely and toot the horn, It's not really funny when you got 3rd degree burns on your hands from it. So what pred. said is understandable.

My boss thinks its funny to see what damage the apprentice can do to himself by waiting until he right into a job in the engine bay and giving the horn a toot. Its one joke he never grows tired of..... :bonk:

Goodwork with the time.... It doesn't suprise me no one would stop, maybe if they wanted to mug you they might have pulled over.

Cheers

Sumo

lol

well i would stop if a fellow skyline owner wsa on side of the road.

anyway, im going back out tonight still on 9psi to have some more practise.

if anyones out there come say hi.

I wouldn't stop unless I had someone with me that’s how people steel little girls like me, so if you see my car go past when your on the side of the road don't take offence I just don’t want to be taken away.

What time will you be out there i might come watch?

hi,

yeah fair enough. :P

i'll be out there at about 4:30 for the start.

Like to get a couple of uns in early incase it gets busy.

Look for a Big Red headed fella with silver R32gtr and carbon bonnet. ZLR32.

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
