Fishpaste: You car looked mighty fine Friday night, not sure what needs tidying up? :wub:

SO: Being a wasteland and a place for general chat, how old are people on here? On the cruise on friday night I was feeling a little old considering my cousin who is 8 years younger than me was there and most ppl seemed his age LOL

Im 26, 27 in 2 months. What's others ages?

there few scratches and marks in the paint work.. im super fussy, particually the rear left =(

im 25, but its all good =) we just need to teach these young wipper snappers whats what =P

Just as I thought, many a whipper snapper!

except for Madaz :wub:

Look forward to meeting more ppl next cruise though, was a bit dark at the start of Friday Nights to try to see/meet anyone and I had to leave from Barker.

22 here.

It's amazing how young people (myself included) have fancy cars nowadays. My dad was telling his first car was 1950 morris something mobile. And he was like 20 when he got it. So it was older than him.

By 19 i had a r34. And now have a motorcycle.

In other news a girl i dated for a short while about 4 years ago rang me yesterday wanting to catch up before she moves interstate. Initially i said yes then realised what the hell i was getting myself into. And promptly told her i was unable to see her this weekend.

car is sooooooo awsome!!! i love being a skyline owner!!!!! such awsome looking cars, and get a massive smile everytime i drive the thing (nothing quite like the feeling of boost, amiright?? =P)

the stairs you get when you pull into petrol stations... they are priceless =)

but it needs a bit of work i thinks, brakes need changing, and there is a bit of fixing up needed on the body work. want to get that fixed up first. also want to do a complete fluid change over, i think its making a slight tapping sound? and dad thinks there is a sound like a wheel bearing playing up as well... oh and suspension, its just BAD!! super hard, even brand new aussie roads are like giant pot holes for me... will get SK to hook me up at some point in time

lots to do, lots of money needed, but soooo worth it!!!

havent got the hang of driving it yet, partly because its manual, partly because its 1000000000000000000000000000000000 times better than my 91 camry =P (and i dont drive it all that often)

Yeah I get a massive smile when I drive mine aswell :P

Mine needs work aswell but these cars are going on nearly 17yrs old so has to be expected....Im upgrading brakes to Brembos and she needs a respray and I want to go white I reckon and I am going to get blistein suspension all the way round...

I have my first track day coming up aswell in July so should be awesome to see how the cars goes and how I go also lol

siff take the fuse out :) i dont have that luxury

Sif not take fuse out.....I know R33 should of had that option :wub:

I'm 26 and I feel very old in Sydney as most under 25 that come out on the cruises but more of a older generation for track days and motorkhana's but it all pans out in the end

Go the tripple post :)

what you doing with you old brakes :P you can send them my way ill pay shipping :P

Ages are starting to even out. :wub: I guess its the "Friday Night Crowd" that is the youngans LOL.

I'm very interested in this sunday cruise Paully made mention of.

For Sunday cruises my wife will usually come along too, she hates being out late on friday nights just sitting in the car, although she usually looks for other lass's to talk to. So begs the next Q: Am I one of a few Married ppl on here too? Or even in long term relationships?

Just trying to get to know the ppl I chat too :)

Well I'm 25 for what its worth...

Have owned 2 silvias, (1st one n/a, 2nd one turbo - almost identical otherwise) and now I have a stagea :bunny:

I miss the silvia for its nimbleness and handling but the stagea is way nicer to drive (ie. LOTS more comfortable).

Cant say which is faster between my modified silvia turbo (133rwkw) and the stagea (~180rwkw equivalent).

Hoping to get a r33 s2 skyline within the next couple years as my drive-to-work car (stagea is too heavy for daily runaround, and yet too practical to sell).

Its weird, I always like the r34 shape better, but having seen some stock r33's and 34's up close, I actually would now prefer a 33 (s2). Not trying to start a flamewar lol, but just saying that I'd prefer a stock 33 to a stock 34, based on looks alone. And with everything else factored in, I'd have a nicer and faster car for the same money if I go with a 33 :) Thats pretty much the way I'm leaning at the moment - wont happen for a good while yet tho...

    • 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?
