FordyR31

Who is the hot blonde around the Hawkesbury with the lowered silver V35 with nice rims... See her everywhere, pretty nice car to! I feel I need a later model car than an HR31 to start a convo ...

Sounds like you and him (mechanic) might be mixing things up between yourselves maybe. When he said its making 17psi from the actuator maybe he just meant the avcr isnt opening the actuators til 17psi. Would make sense if you had it t-pieced and the actuator control unit installed. You also said you had sold the avcr so now you have nothing but standard actuators explaining the low boost. I think the obvious answer is your going to need another boost control unit so get more out of the N1 turbo's and control when the actuators are opening. From the info you have given I can't see any other explanation but maybe someone else can... My mate has a 33 GTR and an old school avcr and the 2 actuators are t-pieced in and run as a single line to the avcr. If it was running 17psi without the avcr then i dont know lol.. f**ked actuators on your stock turbo's maybe or dodgy internal gates?? I had a stuffed actuator (single RB25DET turbo and actuator on an RB20DET) and it was running/spiking 14psi and holding 12 when it was supposed to run 6psi.

Im unemployed and could use some cash! As long as looks dont come into it too much

yeah all good... like i said im not having a dig at any1... just trying to make suggestions for her next one. Personally I thought ur car and some of the other SAU cars should have easily won aswell but giver her another chance next year. They can only get better.

Some of u guys r pretty harsh. It was the 1st cruise she had tried to organise. I think for a 1st effort to get around 200 cars was a pretty good effort! Ok so the cruise route maps and fine tuning wasn't there but she can only learn from it and make sure she implements it into the next one. Anyone who has tried to organise a cruise on here or another club for the 1st time knows it takes your own time and research. Only thing I can suggest for next time is make a plan, stick to your time schedule regardless of who is/isn't there. If you are having raffles, make sure they are over and done with before the cruise leaves so everyone has the same chance of claiming the prize. If your going to have awards for best dressed cars. Hand out little voting forms.. Gonna be a bitch to count but just one per car and have them write the number plate of the best dressed car on it and hand it back before a certain time. Least it would stop this awwwww but he knew one of the girls and im not coming next time. Not having a go just making a suggestion for HERTBO. Add directions with your map so if your going cruise in a "loop" then people who don't get out in the 1st group know where they are going. Even hand out maps on the day to the drivers. All in all I had a really good time, I led people the wrong way and lost everyone for ages but was still a good cruise. Good luck with your next one and take all these "complaints" as suggestions on how to better organise the next one. I don't think many people on here would have had to organise something so big aside from actual SAU events. Did any1 else find the video a little ironic that a girl with almost perfect fake boobs was hosting it???

I watched the supercar doco on the 35GTR on national geographic and i think they are making 40,000 a year to be sold worldwide..... Thats a hell of a lot for a supercar. Total of 200,000 worldwide if they are manufactured for 5 years. Does anyone know if there were more or less earlier GTR's made per year. If it was a lot more then you would expect them to depreciate at a slower rate.. If its approx the same then depreciation "should" be approx the same as previous. The only thing is these will be sold by Nissan Australia so expect Aus delivered ones to depreciate slower and be more valuable in the future aswell. I think once Nissan release them at say 150k then no import yard is going to be able to sell a second hand one for the same price. Imports might come down 30k off the bat. If I had 130k to spend on a second hand GTR... I'd make sure i had 150k to buy a new one with warranty. R33 GTR's were around the 40-60k mark for years and years while 34's sat at 90k then all of a sudden down to the mid 20k range and 34's down to 40-60k. R32 GTR's can be had now from 15-25 as most people on here would know. Could u imagine the R35 GTR going for 15 grand? It would be cheaper to buy another than to pay Nissan prices for spares. Just to add... Nothing much has come out of Japan and fill an import yard aside from Evo's, WRX's and S15's in a newish state since '02. The GTR's, Supra's, RX7's, GTiR Pulsar's and the sorts are all a thing of the past when u think about it. All pushing 10-15 years old. Even a later model JZX100 chaser is 10 years old now and can be had for under 20 grand. Now with the flood of "new imports" to australia like the Aristo, Legnum/VR4 TT for example prices have dropped drastically. The GTR is the latest and only thing to be of any great significance to come out of Japan. This may be used as an excuse to keep Import prices a little higher but who is going to take the risk to save 20k on a car worth 150k?

How much shit will hit the fan when someone actually does race these cops and there is a massive accident! The police will say it happened in a pursuit but with witnesses it may get ugly. It only takes one kid with half decently powered car to get an adrenalin rush and f**k up and someone is dead and it would all have happened because the cop baited him to book him and ended up killing them. Its bad enough that the public do it, we don't need the law enforcers encouraging it.

Spotted Sean in his GTR yesterday arvo in Richmond

No they dont have "tinted lights" They have a black surround, a red light lens and clear cover.... If they were tinted it would have a black/very dark cover rather than a clear one.. Like this. Aftermarket http://www.driftworks.co.uk/catalog/images...Verr324rear.jpg Factory http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/i...22/2278_9lo.jpg http://bomexaero.com/zencart/images/ad282.jpg

I have seen a few around lately in that style. Probably not exactly the same but with the outlets on the same side, really good if u own a car where the stock piping is all on the same side of the engine bay like GTS-T's. In the end its an intercooler and unless u have a fairly modded car it isnt going to do too much in terms of power gains. My car had exactly the same power b4 and after the FMIC install.

Yeah tinted lights front or back r defectable as they "decrease visibility from the factory lighting". R32 tail lights r the same colour as R31, R33, R34, VL, EA....... They r red lol. It is going too far, sort of justifiable by the road toll tho and the amount of hoons but seriously. I think they should do it like other countries, not be strict on mods, just be extra strict on policing the road laws like speeding and illegal racing etc. There is fun having a car that u can use on a track but there is no real need to over do it on a public road. If they really cracked down on speeding, u'd have a lot of modded cars going the same speed as a stock commodore. In fact.. Its these f**kin stock commodores that do most of the hooning! How many commo's/falcons do u see pulled over in comparrisson to Imports. Difference being the Commo drivers were driving like dicks and the Import bonnets r up. I see the good that is trying to be done, but I think from the persective of the driving and pedestrian public they r going about it the wrong way. My 2 cents thats all

There r a couple of types of VG30 turbo rnt there? A smaller one from the TT setup and the older larger one. I know heaps of ppl who have run these turbo's on Rb20's and loved them. Think they bolted up to exhaust and cooler piping no probs, in ur case ur going to need the turbo elbow obviously. A hi flowed VG30 can be a prick on a street driven RB20 having no torque until boost. Makes Roundabouts interesting when ur trying to pull out. 180rwkw is no probs at 1bar and a quick SAFC tune and thats on an HR31 redtop ECCS with exhaust FMIC and pod. Wack it on. 1 bar boost and get it tuned nicely and u'll love it. Great cheap upgrade for the 20. BTW silvertop and RB25 oil and water lines should be fine.

The car cruise scene has been big for years. Its not like its just taking off. Panthers has been a popular meet spot for at least 10 years now that I know of, probably longer! Unless a car is obviously defective from the outside, e.g rediculously low or 35 inch wheels without the little mark on the rego sticker then U cant blame them. If a car with 17's and a FMIC was stickered it would be a bit harsh without further investigation. The thing could have a stock turbo and airbox for all they know making the FMIC legal. Either way they r just doing their job and can justify it by saying it was surrounded by other modified cars and at the time was doing there job according to procedures. They had a suspicion. Thats all they need. If they are wrong u can clear it no worries. If u cant they were right. Simple as that. Its there job to investigate suspicion. Sucks tho. It really does ruin the hobby of modifying cars. Other countries dont have this. NZ, USA, Indonesia for f**ks sake has 900hp GTR's running round legally. I dont see y Aus is so special that older guys in 10 second GT's and Monaro's can cruise making over 100db (legal I believe is 95db for pre 1975??) and not running a cat convertor yet a younger guy in an import which is "suspected at close to" 90db gets stickered out of suspicion. I hate that word lol.

Yeah my mate had the red one with black rims and a bit of mt druitt gloss on the roof, I had the black 2 door with the gold Works.. What do u mean about ppl jumping in traffic? I was getting pissed off where it turned into 1 lane just b4 windsor and every1 who wasnt on the cruise were going up the inside to get into the same line of traffic they would have been in anyway so did the old truckie trick and took up both lanes.. Unfortunately im not as wide as a truck.

I didnt see any signs of any incidents on Windsor Road on the return leg but did see 2 police cars and an Ambo. I was about 500m from the lights in Windsor when they went past. Probably a domestic in Pitt Town

Just a few pics... Dont know who is who other than the obvious with there number plate as their name http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h319/FordyR31/SAU%20days/

Thanks for organising the event.. We guessed about 200ish cars rocked up all up. Sorry to those who followed me onto Garfield Road my navigator (Donald.. HERTBO u know him) was cerain thats the way we were going... Then when we actually went the right way onto Blaxlands Ridge Road off the putty on the way back no1 followed lol. Was a good turnout and it was really good to go for a cruise with different cars for a change! My drivers arm is burned to a crisp but for the putty and blaxland ridge/comleroy its always worth a drive! Thanks again Hope u raised heaps of money. I got a half decent pic of one of the red bull girls arses They r all going on photobucket now and i'll link when im done.

Maybe that was about a U12 Pintara??.... The R31 Pinni can be done easy enough i think www.r31skylineclub.com Search that for what ur looking for Like Ash said... Start with a skyline, will be much cheaper for u in the long run rather than buying a pinni and putting skyline stuff in it.

If I can save some titties and have a nice drive... well shucks im in! SAVE THE TITTIIIIIES! Got a couple of mates coming to. R33 GTR and S6 RX7... Hope this is a good cruise and lets get some car slappers over some bonnets YE YEYYY! Spewin tho.. I gotta drive all the way to Rouse Hill, then come back past my place, then pretty much past it again to Rouse Hill.... Then back home lol.. Shoulda cruised to Singleton! Where is the turn around spot at? I see its down near Colo somewhere but cant remember any place there thats going to be good for 100+ cars to do a u-ee

Thanks its an HR31 GTS-X. Its my daily. There r heaps around, R31 skyline club makes u feel less exclusive! He has bought the car coz he is impatient but it seems to be really good. No rattles bumps bangs or squeaks at all. It does drive like a low K car.

I came to listen to some cars on a dyno not squint and protect hearing lol..

Far out... I was happy my car chirped 3rds lol.. Sounds sick on the dyno, once that turbo starts up it sounds easy after that lol.

no worries satanic thanks for bringing a pretty nuts 34 lol.. Coming from 31 club I havent seen too many 300+kw cars on the dyno.

Thanks for the advice guys we went and inspected it again... The vibration was non existant on variable speeds and accelleration. No signs of rust underneath and the oil has just been changed but after half an hours test drive no burnt smell and no milky residue.. Thanks again for all the tips Liam

Here is the link to vids and pics that I took. I left at about 12ish so missed out on a lot. http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h319/FordyR31/SAU%20days/ Sorry Sean the run of ur car is blurry as but I made up for it with pretty sweet pic
