That is why my friend...you'll want an M3

[meggala]

for the money you spend on an m3 I would rather have an e class merc. merc's own bmw's

I know cause I have owned both makes

[NismoR34]

A good point you raised SS8_Gohan!

Personally, my skyline is my only car, I don't want to thrash it around a track that much cause its all I have.

I have tried drag racing @ Calder Park [diff. car] and it wasn't much fun to be honest, I prefer to watch. I also raced at a club sprint event @ Sandown - which was heaps of fun but a lot of stress on the car [again diff. car]. For me a friendly race [up to speed limit of course] @ the traffic lights is much more fun...

Being a techhead I am always curious to know how fast something is, how it works, how much power it has etc...its in my nature. Though I won't be doing any major mods on my 34, I will have a little play around ; ) with the car that is!

Hey I live just up the road in armadale, we should hook up and go for a cruise.

As for ATP I highly recomend them. The have worked on all my turbo cars. They specialise in building turbos however if you are serious about performance they will be willing to help you as they have many conections in the field. ie the exhaust on their dagr gsr is mainly coustom fabricated up the road. I recently blew the turbo on DrDrifts old car (shut up sam I know it was too lean) and they built me a nice turbo for a good price. All the work done is of a high quality and nothing is over looked. Some of there achivments are a twin turbo 5 series BMW which was very neat and tidy.

Oh well good luck

Adz,

Yeah i had a good chat with Kyp there last week and it sounds [and looks] like they do some quality work! [there are a few of us who could hook up for a cruise around the area, im keen].

[Ait]

I'm keen for a short meet in the east malvern area. I can then drool over your 34

[NismoR34]

looks like we should organise something then - and soon!

its only stock excepting cat-back ex.

[Ait]

its only stock excepting cat-back ex. [/b]

Well I wouldn't mind swapping my car for yours even for a day! :lol:

[NismoR34]

I am not very good with sharing...

[SteveR33]

Hey guys I am also sort of near ATP (about 10mins), I just got them to high-flowed my turbo. They machined 6mm out of the turbo housing and replaced the two stock turbines with Sera turbines. I think they were Sera anyway … well they are frickin huge compared to the stock ones and I am told my car should make 250rwkw’s now no worries.

I also just ordered a Trust Cooler from Japan and the engine is currently being built. My car is down at ProPaintworks getting a re-spray and hopefully in about 10days the car will be at Race Pace getting tuned. If you guys go on a cruise I would love to meet up with you all...

[Ait]

Aweseom mods Steve! I'd love to check out the turbines. Uhh..what's a Sera turbine?

[RS500]

Ait,

i think he means - Sierra.

If so, and depending on what compressor wheel the turbo has, it should be able to flow quite well giving good power gains while still being streetable.

if u don't mind me asking, how much did u pay for the hi-flow dude?

what turbo did u use for the hi-flow operation?

[Shiro]

ATP is pretty good. They did my turbo a few months back and I was more than satisfied! To my surprise, it enhances my fuel economy, too!

But all the figure that they quote you in terms of power capability, you gotta remember that other parts are needed to get there! Sure the turbo can hold up to 1.5 bar of boost, but my internals would be all over the place by then...

By the way, I'd really love to meet up with an R34 owner. I hardly found a nice one these days... I met one around Box Hill, riced up black GTt and all. But when I tried to greet him he gave that look in his face and looked else where as if I'm damn ugly he doesn't wanna see me. Well, maybe I'm ugly...

Riced up? thats just crazy!

I am not like that guy, i always either smile or say hello [or even give the to fellow skyliners / nissan drivers, unless they are actin dumb of course, then i smoke em :burnout: [sometimes]

[SteveR33]

Yeah Sierra I would say ... do not know much about them really. I paid $1800 for the high flow on one of my previous turbos that shat itself.

I'm sure you ain't...

Have you guys seen alot of cops on Waverly Road? They love conducting booze busts near the golf range, and I've seen patrol cars in the area alot. Beware...stupid 60 zone.

[NismoR34]

yeah, I have seen the booze bus underneath the Sth Eastern fwy bridge on waverley rd, sneaky p****s, and the "hwy" patrol car sits on the other side [nature strip] facing east to get the speeders coming round the corner! [not me ]

[Ait]

Yeah, a week or so ago I saw a couple of cars left at the scene after the booze bus packed up and went. I presume they were caught past the alcohol limit. Shite, that area up waverly road towards Darling Road, it's riddled with radar cars too. The sneaky bastards park inside one of those many small lanes as you drive past and to think some idiot in an M3 over took me on that 60 zone by cutting onto the opposite lane. Rich people have alot of money to pay fines.

Man what a hot day! My car felt reaaaallly sluggish!
