WTF is up with Chapps Tonight????


Recommended Posts

........So Im on the way home from the gym, like a few hours ago, and since my gym is just around the corner from Chapel street, I thought Id pimp a bit on Chaps by showing off my new rims. As Im driving down Chaps I notice 2 cop bikes and a cop car behind me and 2 cop bikes behind me, so my first reaction is turn down the stereo cos I dont wanna get busted for that out of all things, then as Im heading towards Toorak road, I notice that outside Studio Cafe the bike rack has cop bikes lined up everywhere, and on the other side of the road, this pig is doing a hardcore inspection on what looked like a stock as R32, and other cars are being inspected as well....So I was like WTF?????? And just as Im about to hit Toorak road a cop pulls up next to me and starts looking at my car, but fortunately he drove on. WTF IS UP WITH THIS SH*T?????

Lets face it, Chaps is all bout the car culture and at this rate its gonna go bye bye

my granparents live off chapel street and i been going there since i was a wee little lad and its just gotten worse and worse

i hate it!

Lets face it, Chaps is all bout the car culture and at this rate its gonna go bye bye

chapel street and the car culture!??? you mean the losers that have nothing better to do with themselves on a friday and saturday night so they drive up and down showing off their small penis'. Seriously people that would prefer to drive up and down a street all night in heavier then peak hour traffic instead of going for a drive somewhere where they can drive their cars how they are supposed to be driven are total wanks!

thats my 2 cents, not directed at anyone, just voicing my opinion!

Okay, for starters when I do a Chapel street run, I go down it once, no laps or that stuff. I agree the wankstas who go back and forth are stoopid, but hey, lets face it, you get the bad with the good. I dunno about you guys, but I have seen some pretty cool looking cars on Chaps, and thousands of riced out pos's. Even tho a large percentage of the people who congregate on Chaps are dickheads, they do have cars, and there are many cars that drive down that street, so whether you like it or not, its a part of the Melbourne car culture, maybe not the best example, but still a part never the less.

Again, wheres a GOOD place to experience Melbourne car culture?

I enjoy going down chapel street a few years back but lately its been crap!.. hoons are reving their engine out which goes about 5 metres then stops due to the heavy traffic, blasting their radio while damaging their own eardrums just to get attention? whats with these guys? gee's... are they really that bored? from all these bad experiences I hate chapel more and more...

okies then....

Where is ther GOOD car culture happening in Melbourne?[/qoute]

You are talking with all of us right now :P

it's kinda silly really, but I guess people know if they wanna get somewhere quick, don't take chaps...and back streets around there are pretty well set up to avoid chaps all together, which again runs into doxx's problems.

But the one time I do like doin a quick lap is mid sunday afternoons on a nice day when you get the chance to see the 355, 360 or Diablo outside Cafe Sienna...

Paul Paul

i was in chapps last night and i was in a proton dumped with 17" wheels, cops where EVERYWHERE you cant even through a but out the window and youed get busted.

But i did see a white R33 skyline whith a chik driving it had GTST badges but they didnt look like standard badges just wondering where there from.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
