14/100 is the best I've ever got (450klm) when towing its more like 18l/100 (350)

but for me its a daily so I can kug the kids around, I just put up with the fuel economy for what is otherwise a great car. enough space in the back for gear (esp with the seats down), 12v in the back, tow bar, tv, cruise control, 4wd, power everything etc its great for $10k

stagecoach, manual is not ideal for towing, I have a nasty hill start out of the drive and the clutch needs to be abused. the auto used to slur its way through without raising a sweat. still, overall I just hate autos so I put up with that.

Liz....apparently Neil is too soft to take it out again for a while.

Yeah got the car trailer too, which is handy.

As far as towing goes duncan itll prob be a while before i end up with a stagea haha... yeah i know manuals arent fantastic at starting a heavy trailer but it will only be doing so every few weeks i imagine.

hey jorge

nice car and pic mate ! top result!

can you tell me what size tyre and rims you were running for those events and do you have to have standard intake sytem??

I was running 17 x 9 til the end of 07, although now I need to got o 17 x8 's so we will run them this year. I ran 17 x 8's in the wet and the dry in 07 and to be honest there wasnt no change in our speed. Yep, stanard air box.

jorg - well done. how did you enjoy those events? they seemed a bit pricey to me for the numbers of runs you get. What mods does the car have?

stagecoach - you've done things the smart way. All the time and money goes into prepping the car, buying someone else's car is a great way to save money. Just need to go over everything carefully and make sure they've done it all properly.

Not as much fun as a targa style event like Rally Tas becasue you are on the same bit of road, but fun none the less. Mt Buller is a pretty challenging piece of road (especially the last event!) and the Lake Mountain course really suits a GTR with higher average speeds. The car is set up to Tarmac Rally Specs, we have had the full 'end of event' scrutineering a couple of times and they are on the lookout (or maybe surpirsed an 89 GTR is up the front of the field!), so it is not worth trying to sneak big mods through.

You just gotta love this thread,,,so many great looking racecars.

Stagecoach very nice ride there buddy. Pulsars are so cool. Thats the sort of car I've been trying to get Mrs Handley's bum for ages. Kel are you looking????.

Jorg nice work there buddy,,,great pics and they have been added to my slideshow at work. That poor sucker must have been a bit hot under the collar after that pass,,,he's got the roof vent open,,,poor bastard.

Steveo,,,get your bloody car sorted or I'll start calling you the TROLL. You remember the little scarey animal that hides under the bridge waiting to jump out and oh never mind just fix the bloody GTR.

Chris,,,It's all good mate,,,Radicals are the best thing to come out of pommy land since the Spitfire. Mines an older 02 with 06 upgrades so it's chain driven. Theres a lot of "HAHA" street GTR's around that are bloody quick,,,GTR Jason is one. I'll keep them in check just hope everbody sees me,,,this car as you know is very low.

Neil.

Yeah, he wasnt thrilled, we passed him twice in the first two stages of the first day before we all got reseeded, he was good about it and moved over though.......a few of our vids are on http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=89GTR

Its actually sporting holden parts( front rotors), ford parts (front brake hats) and the nissan parts (throttle body) lol. In fact after tomorrow it'll be sporting even more holden parts in the form of Adventra flares front and rear :)

Its the colour that makes it fast anyway. Everybody knows pink cars rock....

Im with you mate, Pink/Purple cars go faster.

Looks like a nice pick up. Glad to see even though you went to the darkside, you picked the right car :P

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
