Hey guys,

Just got back to Cairns, keen to do a cruise with who ever is keen. Normally go up the kuranda range, via mareeba, stop at mt molloy for a burger, down the julatten range, then cap cook highway. Normally takes the good part of a day but some decent roads. Not sure when, I'm up for another 3 weeks just thought i'd suss out who was keen.

I'm up in Cairns - sorry, with a hire car after a plane flight - on the Easter weekend.

Up to see some rellies.

But I will take note of that route of yours jnb, and try it out.

The hire car will make me go like a granny!

Guys need some ideas on where to go for a tune...? Spent wayy to much money on my car lately and the final step is the tune. She'll be running great after that. Anyone have any opinions on decent places to go?

Im wanting to sell my turbo.

It is an HKS 2535. A bit more power over standard with very similar boost response.

Direct bolt on to R32 and R33 , im pretty sure it will fit R34 aswell.

Its still attached to my car, so I can take you for a spin to see what its like.

As comparison, a stock R33 will make about 130kw atw, and R34 GTT stock will make about the 150kw mark.
The turbo on my car makes 180kw atw on only 10psi.

Nothing wrong with the turbo, just chasing more power now.
Be warned however, with stock injectors you will be able to run only about 10-12psi.

Possibly even maxing out your AFM.

I can help fit the turbo on to your car aswell, and change injectors if you have them.

I'm after the same info. I hear SVS is good but expensive.

I've got an R32 GTR.

Just bought a truck load of parts from Japan. HKS GTSS turbo's, Tomei Poncams, HKS dumps, front pipe, cat, cat back, and a few other goodies. I'm just waiting for a Power FC and a Tomei manifold and I want to get all of this bolted on and tuned.

Anyone dealt with SVS or know any other decent tuners in Cairns?

I do my own tuning, but when I need dyno time, Cameron at SVS is the gun tuner for skylines up here.

The other place up here with an AWD dyno dropped a friends EVO8 off the side a little over a year ago, and then tried to repair the damage on the cheap. (exhaust and tank damage)

Other offerings are single roller dynos. I've heard neither good or bad reports about their capabilities though. Its really hard to trust people's opinions up here too. Seems 1/2 the people in the car scene up here are full of a mix of dreams, second hand information and BS.

Cheers Ian,

Thanks for the info.

That EVO8 horror story is my worst nightmare. I hear you about the car scene in Cairns. I'm just after a responsive, reliable GTR. Not chasing big dyno numbers like most other people these days.

Are there ever any meets up here? Seems pretty quiet.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      Hello, first of, I’ve looked at many threads on this code but none have helped me, if you know one that will help me feel free to post a link.   Now to my problem. Recently I was driving and noticed the check engine light came on. I went home and did the test to see what code it gave. I got the 21 code but everything seems fine with the car, no misfire, idle is good, acceleration is the same as when I bought it. I mean no signs of obvious failure. If no misfire is happening I can rule out the coil packs right? Which is about 98% of posts saying it is. If anyone has had this happen and found the issues let me know please. No other lights are on.   The car WAS due for an oil change. I since then changed it so idk if that triggers code 21. Either way it hasn’t turned off.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Your both right, it may hold a bit longer then.  Soon I need to change the synchros, should I fit the billet plate while I'm at it? Or just a waste of money?

      Some of the east coast US Stagea got together this past weekend at Lime Rock Park in CT for Grid Life Circuit Legends. This is probably my favorite pic of the shoot with @Morgan.Mundahl on IG. Hope we get more stags out next year! i think I spotted 5 other than my own at the event.
