Hi all,

I bought a JDM R35 GTR a couple weeks ago (thread about this in R35 GTR Discussion). I will be looking to install a mid pipe, Cobb tune, reverse camera, window tints etc. - nothing too wild.

I used to own an R33 GTST (one of the best cars I have owned) a few years ago and look forward to joining the Skyline community again!

Just a bit of an upgrade from the old line aye.... :)

Hi everyone,

Im Katie, just joined up. Moved here 4 months ago from Ireland with my boyfriend. Living in Brisbane. Currently in the process of re-building a r32 Gtst. She finally got started yesterday-music to our ears biggrin.gif . Going to the paint shop soon and after a few 'slight' modifications thumbsup.gif she should be out Aug/Sept time-fingers crossed.

This is the first Skyline weve had. Back in Ireland I was a BMW chick, had a e36 m-sport and then my wee baby e30 325i sport. My boyfriend has a white 87 ae86 sitting under a coverage in the garage at home aswell. If anyone is interested, I have loads of pics.

So back in Ireland, people with all sorts of modified cars meet up at the weekends and go for a cruise or a show, what happens here in Australia? We have spotted loads of class cars driving about but can never find them all in one spot.

Nice site by the way, hopefully get to know a few of the members during our stay here and get some Skyline advise (im sure we'll need it).

By the way, my boyfriend and I are huge driftin and diffin fans, we used to do it every weekend at home and are having serious withdrawl symptoms over the last 4 months, so if theres anything coming up soon let me know.

Thanks

Katie

Hi Kate and welcome to aus :)

Im not a drifter myself but i know theres a website called secretdrift.com.au that should have all you need to know about events and other info.

As for other car meets, Ive just started going to a meet on Thursday nights in Brizy with some of the guys from sau, you and your man should come along.....Heres the thred we chat on http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/18...html&st=120

Welcome all!! :)

Hey Katie, Drifts are on at QR (Queensland raceway) Every month on a friday night..

I think the next one is on July 31st..

Starts at around 6.. Def check it out.. :banana:

Also there are drifts on a much tighter (Gocart) track at Archifield.. Also on friday nights..

cheers for the welcome folks and the pm.

Ice cream meets, how class does that sound?!?!?! Deffo up for that when we get the car out. Like I said should be Mid Aug hopefully.

Looked into the drifing at the QR, havnt been but the membership is reasonable, so hope to get back on the track pretty soon, although its pretty different from home. Drifting comes second after diffin (for those of you that dont know what diffing is - i think its an irish thing - look up diffin on youtube)

Cool, thanks again for the welcome and hope to see ya's soon

Katie

I've already introduced myself in the other section, but thought I should say hi here seeing that I'm a Qld'er.

I'm Paul, I got a R32 GTR that I've been throwing money at for the past few years, I'm hoping to have it finished and running soon. My other addiction is of the two wheeled kind, but guess thats not for this forum.

cheers

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
