There are at least 6 skylines in Darwin but at the present they still seem to be relatively exclusive. I was the second person in Darwin to purchase an R33 GTS25t back 3 years ago. There are probably more because there is a continuous coming and going of young army recruits bringing them up.

For the person that was asking about the best place to speed well if you are sitting in the middle of Darwin you drive 30 to 40km's down the stuart highway until you see a sign with a white background and a black circle with a black line through it diagonally. At that point you would be doing 100kph in 5th and all you do is to push your accelarator to the floor until you are screaming along in fifth. My only problem is i have a standard 180kph speedo and all that i can tell you is that i have had it wrap around to zero and then some. I would guess i was doing around 240kph (screaming along in 5th). Once i slowed down i found that one of the plastic ferrings in front of the drivers side front wheel had been forced against the front wheel and had melted. Neat huh.

hahaha this week you can grab it, probably tuesday or wednesday!

As for the exclusive part i dont think its so much as exclusive, its just the smarter people dont go around cruising and harassing others on the road with PCHHST noises in the window like the other fools on the road.

And some of us are picked on by the cops for having a loud car..... but thats only when the external gate opens up :)

Our fuel up here is at best PULP 98RON i think (103.9c/L). I get the best results with BP PULP and the worst with Woolworths Plus Petrol PULP.

We dont get the same luxuries you guys down south get, shell optimax (droool).

Low RON fuel plus high ambient temperature is not the best combination but we get by.

I read yesterday they are going to charge people who drive dangerously ie to fast for the situation (in the no limits area) !!!!

As for the speed cut i just installed an Apexi PowerFC!

:(

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?

      Did anyone here buy the crashed N1 R32 GTR at auction?

      By funkymonkey · Posted

      blame old mate Hawkins for that one  I remember way back in the day the japanese didn't want them either... they always assumed a race shell would be thrashed. We found a few when looking for an R34 GTR for the Whites to drive in Targa Tas back in 2002.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I know it's probably not going to cause any major engine issues. I just had a more generic concern that it's technically not running right (I guess this means the rpm is not sitting where it technically should be) Though the other thing is, it's that my steering wheel is shaking at 1,100 rpm at idle until it gets warm (seemed to happen after I tightened my alternator belt, will be testing the alternator soon).

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I mean, what's the concern here? Higher fuel consumption? FWIW my idle sits at around 800rpm or so as well. And yes, it runs fine, idles fine and there are no issues as far as I can tell. I don't quite see the problem.
