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

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?

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!

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

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?

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
