I was of the understanding it was party time at your place...

yes thats what i hear too :laugh:

No one cares about skylines anymore, I think a MX5 with and angry rotary sound would get heaps more attention

Well from those who know somthing about cars anyway, the GTR will still pick up lots of 16 year old boys who think GTRs are invincible.

The conversion has been done before, I think thay had a few problems findin a gear box that fits but apart from that everything was sweet

ur a hater >_<

I still cannot believe IanB is giving GTS-T's a hard time after his pwning last night!! I had to slow down to 60k's and wait a full 30 seconds for him to catch up on the twisty bits coming down from Nebo to Samford. Just face facts Ian, the GTS-T is just as good when it isn't raining!!!!! My car is heavier and has less power but the suspension work is where the gains come on the twisties!!

put the same mods on both a gtr and gts-t and then go back racing...

I see your point Shane, but what choices are made by owners and in which direction they go is entirely up to them. Some (most) want straight line speed while others want a car that handles. I have opted for a little from Collumn A and a little from Collumn B.

And I'm still not happy with some aspects of my car (don't mention the paint!)

You are spending a motza on your engine and taking a long time to do it, but have you done any work on the handling??

this was the exact same questions thrown at me from Anna when i first started moddin the car.

i only recently notice how much work needed to be done to suspension because of the down force on the rear stock suspension.

the only reason i touched the engine is that 2 weeks after i bought it, it went bang! i always intended on doing the 3ltr conversion (i just happened to have a block in the shed waiting) and i thought im not doing it again, so may aswell do it while its out.

also i'll have the suspension and brakes upgraded by the feb 2 track day >_<

but in all honesty, i woulda loved to have kept my gtst, and looking back at pictures of it, im thinking about buying it back :laugh:

Dave...

I went slow on the samford leg for quite a few reasons... I was out of fuel and very out of breaks. Besides, once you go past jollies you get into nebo village and there are a fair few people there sleeping / living there, I like to keep the speed down through there so as to not piss them off.

Will see how it all go's once I get the coilovers and break upgrades in.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
