Hi ACT guys and gals,

My names Sam and just thought I'd finally post up after lingering on the forums for a couple of weeks.

Bought a White R33 from an importer in Sydney 2 weeks ago and just passed at the Dickson Motor Registry on Wednesday. It's stock as a rock apart from a cat back exhaust and some 17" rims which i'm looking to replace as I only just noticed that they are using bolt on spacers.

I've come from the RS Liberty Club and still currently own my 1992 Subaru Liberty RS which is a pretty wicked beast with many many mods on it. However, I've made the swap back to a Skyline as I'm seeing the skidpan and the motorkhana's run by the MG car club more often than Wakefield (which i set the Subie up for).

Looking forward to doing some mild mods on the 33 (nothing major) and seeing some other skylines in action at the khana or skidpan in the future.

Cheers

Sam

Welcome Sam, its good to see you 'come out' rather than lurking :P and of course we want pics (we always do)

You will have to come out to the Museum one of these nights and catch up with us all. The hillclimb is on tomorrow at Sutton Road... if you swing by for a look, don't forget to come say hi to us, just look for the Skylines.

Thanks for the warm welcome people :-)

MIVEC depending on what you have lying around, will see what we can work out, got any pics of them?

LadyBytes what happens at the museum at nights? I've been on some cruises with some Canberra clubs and they tend to be a little too...out of hand.

a20089, the skidpan on the 11th i'm assuming you are talking about... I'm actually entered in on the Northrop session which is the session in the afternoon from you guys. Might have to come out and watch you all to get psyched up (although i don't need much encouragment), if you want to see me and my subie in action, check out fifthgears promo vid, i'm the one smoking it up in the middle of the track.

^^^ wot he said... and the Museum is a friendly, well behaved, get together and chat about where/how/why all things Skyline - Oh and I try to sh!t stir where I can, but no hooning. I'm going to try and organise a Friday night cruise and soccer game one of these Fridays once I know we can use the footy fields.

race_snooze - I was after a Series 2 specifically. As well as a completely stock standard one for Skidpan, Motorkhana and hill climb events only.

S04R3R - Was wondering where you were at mate! Congrats on pickin up the skyline soon mate. We both know that we will regret moving on from the RS's as they are awesome cars, but I found more Pro's than Con's with the R33 to not go down the path.

      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.
