Hi there, just a short post to introduce myself. Just picked up my first skyline last week, '94 R33 and I love it!

I will be joining the QLD SAU as soon as I can fill out the form. Look forward to seeing you out and about.

Welcome Alex :D

I recognise where you work (well the carpark) and I suggest parking in the security parking! I used to work in that same complex and heard all nasty stories about the carpark and I always parked in the security parking. For $2 a day or what ever it was, it was a small price to pay for extra security :D

Hey Erin!! Was just wondering... My Warning level has gone up to 10% and I looked into it and someone from NSW named "Blitz" has said I made a stupid post in a thread in the for sale section about "work wheels" I have no idea what he is talking about and was wondering how I deal with this??

thanks for the advice, I just go to the gym there and thought i would snap a couple of pics after i washed her today. (Isn't it annoying how many inperfections you find when you wash a car for the first time ?!?!)

Also, I was thinking of putting the car on the dyno just to see how it goes as a starting point and also to check out a noise im hearing (there is a high pitched whistle when the turbo spools up only happens for like a second on full boost between 4000 and 5000rpm i think it is). I rang up FIST performance and they quoted $95, does anyone have any dealings with them to speak of? or anyone else to recommend?

Thats not a bad price for a power run.

Mercury motorsport are ok to deal with and they are a forums sponsor. They're over in newmarket road.

I've heard milaco is good but sorry no idea where they are. Its hard to find a good workshop cos people have different experiences, for every person that says a place is great theres one that says they'll never go back.

EDIT: mercury are a sau qld CLUB sponsor, not the forums

Yeah thats what i find when seaching etc. Their dyno and workshop is booked up like 2 weeks in advance so that has to be some kind of good sign

      My theory would revolve around the ~4000rpm point being peak torque territory on an RB, where you're supposed to be looking at max efficiency of the head, etc, and....just not having it because the skinny ports are doing something to f**k it up. I'll admit, it's a loose theory.

      It could be in the tune but in both cases it couldn't be completely solved or eliminated by some of the best tuners in victoria so I'm DOUBTFUL that it's in the tune or ECU but stranger things have happened of course. I've pondered that theory too but is there any theories that thinner and smaller ports overall would cause a turbo to spike? I would've thought it would just restrict it in general if it was small enough to make a difference. I wouldn't expect it to make a different at what is essentially sub 300kw at 4000rpm anyway. I think the next step is going to have to be the 6psi spring to rule out the idea that the gate is cracking open far too wide initially. At least that is the cheapest (free) thing to check initially.

      I'm thinking it is skinny NA Neo port sizing and cams. Somehow.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Above you mentioned you only need to sand primer if there's an issue with it but with fillers it says the surface needs to be sanded to X grit beforehand. Does that sorta contradict that point as the primer hasn't been sanded yet? At the same time if I sand the primer, there's a good chance I'll expose the bare metal and I'm just chasing my tail at that point. Or I'll just use a sand sponge instead of sandpaper, it seems to be far finer in terms of abrasiveness as opposed to sandpaper. From what I understand, filler is like primer and needs scratches from the sandpaper to help it adhere to the panel. I realised the way I'm doing things is actually a bit counter productive as there's a chance after I put filler I will need to put epoxy primer again as opposed to putting the filler first and potentially no primer if I don't go to bare metal. Will keep this in my mind for the rest of my repairs.
