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?

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

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...

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
