G'day,

Just thought I'd introduce myself (after checking out SAU a bit). May have seen me round a bit - live near UQ.

After having completely broken the auto transmission in my N13 Pulsar for the 2 time in 16 months, I figured I needed something sturdier. I found nirvana at the end of Feb after waiting for over a year :)

I'll try posting a pic of my car on, it may be too big though. It's nothing flash, just the only photo on my computer atm. I wanted something I could keep for a while and since I'm already married (only 20 though) and kids may be sometime in the future, it had to be a 4 door.

Anyways, if you want, say hi when you see me and lemme know what's good and what's not with mods as I am planning on doing something year.

Steve

PS. Skidpan day was great slip; will defnitely be doing the next one :P:D :D

Mountains are mad :-) Is it true that guys drift around corners on the mountain so it's pretty slow going??

What are you getting done to your car slip?

Hey, I found driving a skyline is a bit different to driving a Pulsar. I use to have to sit flat footed everywhere round town in the pulsar. When I got the skyline I was in the habit of flattening the accelerator (had to use a fair bit of braking to keep it in check). So I was only getting 280 - 350 a tank! :-( At least it is better now...say 460 a tank. At least I can save for go-fast bits now.

:):D :D

Welcome GZV...

I have recently had my first baby... thus traded in my beloved DOHC Jap-spec VTEC Civic (15 sec quarters) for my black 4 dr manual, too. Turbo cars are certainly different in their power delivery. Civic made more and more power through the rev range - right up to 8700rpm! R33 gives a couple of BIG shoves, one at around 3000rpm and the next at 5500rpm. With the boost wound up a little to 10 psi I'm pretty sure the standard computer is overfuelling and retarding the timing - from what I've read here in the forum - causing a flat-spot btwn 4200 and 5500rpm. (Maybe MicK51 has a few ideas!) Hoping to get that sorted one day - hopefully soon - but probably when my boy goes to school (in 5 years!!!) and my wife goes back to full-time work!!! Who knows...

Will post a foto here of my 4dr in next couple of days!

Would love to do something on the track. Have taken Honda out b4 but not the 'line yet! Just for the hell of it...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
