***Adelaide Cruise Room***

[Drift Spec]

Ok,

It's that time again lady's and gents!

I propose a cruise next friday (28/06) or the friday after (05/07).

I still have the map made up from the last cruise so we can use that one.

Any takers?

[Guest sir_GTR]

i'm free on Fridays and Mondays

Count me in!!!

early start preferred (sat work) :eek:

[Cubes]

I'd be good for the friday after.. 5/07

[Drift Spec]

Ok then its official, Friday 05/07, usual starting place Mitre 10 Glenelg.

So 8:30 start andy?

[NitRaTe]

I'm in, hopefully with the gtr by then. hehe =)

[Cubes]

The Thing is that mid week after the meet (5/7) is when my car is going in to get a few more mods done..

I'm getting the boost bleed taken from the plenium chamber (stop boost drop hopefully)

Fuel Tuned & Bigger Fuel Pump & Turbo..

I'll replace the intake hose between the turbo and the afm to a nice smooth one next week some time, and sort out something with the airbox and a new cold air intake for the new airbox.

I'm going to see if I can fit something from a VS V8 as they don't use a bell mouth, they are shaped a little different btw.

I am also going to look at getting the dump/front pipe hpc coated. D&T Exhaust can do it..

Its all about the Intake for the next couple of weeks. Try to pick up all of the response I can.

[NitRaTe]

Hey Joey, I think i bumped into you in town before. standard looking r32 which basically kicked my ass. hehe :uh-huh:

Just wondering if you've seen me on the road?? Black r32 gts-t with an sdu sticker (which will soon be taken out by the way).

Drift...I'll be free next week actually if you wanna meet up and we can go for a short cruise or something?? Andy are you free??

Where are all the Adelaidians?

[NitRaTe]

emmm i have a friend called Joey, but you are Joel hehehe sorry!!! =))

[Cubes]

hrmm...

I really can't remember.

Any dates of when you 'Bumped' in to me?

[NitRaTe]

can't really remember the dates, but i was beaten by a stockish looking r32 a few months back.

[whatsisname]

Fri' 5/7 I'll be there.

[Drift Spec]

Sweeeeet , its all sounding good!.

where the hell is buggerlugs, dont tell me he hasnt converted hehe.

Nitrate : Cool Aaron sounds like a plan to me , next friday all good too for a bit of a cruise.

I finally have a radio too , borrowed from VMS, jap one so no fresh fm , need to get a converter i think, so will have to make some tapes i think

[Cubes]

A bit off the topic but What mods did you car come with or have you done?

I can't remember you probably told me last time I saw you.?!?!?

[Drift Spec]

Umm all that was mod was the suspension.

Adjustable Damper and height Endless Zeal coilovers, about 3.5k worth according to there website, so happy with that.... can hold about 140km/hr down main south on windey bits with them so all good

everything else stock , which is good in my eyes , less chance of it having been thrashed.

I rekon I have lost power tho , seems like it doesnt have the kick it had at first , i think maybe clutch might sorta be slipping, think its stock.

I may be imagining it , prob just getting used to the power of the car now.

[NitRaTe]

I think it's just your imagination, you know why? cause I experienced the same thing. The car doesn't feel as powerful as it did when I drove it for the very first time (without the fmic that time).

[Cubes]

When I first got mine it has stock tyres on it 205's.

And it used to chirp them through first then all of a sudden it felt like it had lost power and stopped chirping them.

It was the clutch ever so slightly slipping, then it got worse and worse over a period of around 2 months until it was finally buggered.

Might be the clutch might not....

Mine was..

[Drift Spec]

U prob right Aaron hehe,

Hmm but dunno got a feeling it may be clutch as mine doesn't churp as easily now as it used to, think may have to drive more cafeful for a while , dont feel like blowing the clutch just yet haha.

how much is a new single plate for a GTSt? , one that will last any beating?

ahh i know is it cant handle real high rev starts , slips like hell , its ok on like 3k starts but anything over and its no go.

[Cubes]

Yep sounds like your clutch that is exactly what mine did.

I had a Heavy duty organic clutch fitted for $850.

I think you can buy them for around $600 then fit them you self.

That is what i noticed first that it didn't chirp.

Not that I really want to chirp the gears with a rb20det box..

[Drift Spec]

damn isn't it crap weather today!, nothing to do but stay indoors and watch tv and surf the net... ahh well good excuse to do so .

Thats not a bad price, looks like exactly what i will be after when its due, only want to stay single plate as twin plate would suck so much in traffic.

Did u get this done at RPM? , more than likely ill get it done at VMS as I know them well tho.

So is the RB20DET box not strong?, hope RB25DET box is stronger , dont feel like having to get the gearbox rebuilt.

All up tho I hardly ever drive that car hard.

Actually on the note, I did the fuel test, I can only get about 300km to a tank of Ultimate 98, and that is mostly driving off boost with the occasional boost when seeing a Commodore at the lights

Most of this driving was done in the city with a few trips up the freeway.

Is this what you guys get?, I was def hoping for better fuel econ!.

The car does seem to backfire on gear changes now and then, so I think its def running a bit rich, think I may have to take it to RPM to get a tune done.... I reset the ECU and didnt seem to help.

[Cubes]

wow 300kays to a tank of juice..

The worst I have ever got is 420 when it just had the red light starting to go on and off.

Usually I get around 470 and with the fmic last tank i got 500kays.

btw this tank i will get a little less because i've started to like the feeling of second coming on to boost and start to slightly wheel spin up in a straight line.

When I first got my car like within the day I replaced a fuel filter, slapped a bottle of injector cleaner in and was getting around 420kays to a tank of juice.

Then Tim fitted the fuel pressure bleed kit tuned it up made another 10rwkw and i began getting pretty much exactly 470kays per tank with all of it around the suburbs.

I think the R33's are heaps worse for running rich.

Do your spark plugs, air filter, oil, oil filter, injector cleaner with 1/2 a tank of juice, fuel filter and then a couple of tanks down the track slap another bottle of injector cleaner in just to make sure it is going to get every little bit of crap off.

Also when you do your oil change -- well I slapped in a bottle of that nulon engine oil flush and then changed oils ever 2000km's after that twice then i went back to the normal 5000km's service.

Do your gearbox oil change slap a tube of nulon g70 to help save your syncro's a little and then do the diff oil.

Remember you don't really know what conditions or how the car has been driven so its better to be safe than sorry.

Also ... Do your coolant and most importantly do a full brake fluid flush.
