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

i hate it!

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...

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.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
