spotted a couple of r33's and an r34 along the esplanade at surfers yesterday arve. until then i thought the 'skyline wave' was just a myth!

it was the first time in years i had been on the esplanade at surfers and it was just as i remembered - full of bogans driving and checking out cars and generally trying to stare people down (haha it would make me angry if it wasn't so funny >_<). Me and my mate were having a coffee in broady and saw a few 'drive-by'ers' in pimped black merc's and an older supra with a gold front mount and the hilarity got to use and we said "f*ck yeah, let's do an esplanade cruise!"

saw a 'supra crew', a 'rich crew' (2005 M5, 350z etc), an 'early 90's/late 80's 3 series beewee crew', a 'baggy shorts, socks pulled up, hate 3/4 sideways minitruck and van crew', a 'wog crew' and of course - a little 'skyline crew'!

I honestly wasn't expecting it, but every skyline I saw the driver gave a wave! Seriously, in a culture full of tossers and dudes with small penis's, i felt pretty proud to be part of a crew that actually is friendly and cool about the fact that they just like their cars and can appreciate others who like the same car rather than trying to outdo and intimidate each other.

I was so high on the vibe i gave a few waves to everyone else i saw and just got a few tough guy looks, a few confused "holy shit, what do i do!? umm "Whatever dude" " looks, but sif I cared!

to anyone that waved to my standard looking white 33 with the old school volks on it (now), and the large but super quiet (and prolly hell restrictive) nismo exhaust - Peace!! You guys rock!!

I was probably the 34, if it was a white 4 door that you spotted...

Can't specifically remember your car though and if i waved, but at the very least i would've given the nod...

>_<

Not all us skyline drivers are bad... :(

51pry is my baby!

:sick: I work over the road at mazda that is why you would have seen her there..

and RDY60 is Mark my bf's car >_<

:( That's just wierd... what's the chances of seeing both your cars on the same day... :)

spotted a fairly bright red R33 GTR with what looked to be 19 or 20" CE28's in white also sounded very mean this was on road between the beach and shopping centre on surfers paradise. I was wondering if this person is on SAU and if anyone has any photo's the car looked great.

spotted 53XYN's chaser again this morn..

Also spotted yellow with acid green pearl 4dr 33 outside the 'gatta today at lunch time, is it anyone on here? Interesting colour :P

oooh your sneeky.. where were u sorry man if i didnt wave bk.. was in my own world..

Dubai GTR is owned by 101 motorsports mohammad is a pretty cool chap his at club Bj's often

Leech my man - you are a long way from home. A few hours North to Hervey Bay and you will have arrived at my new home. Canberra was getting too cold for these old bones.

Still own the store in Canberra and will be bouncing between the two locations for a while yet.

Hey Marc,

Yea bloody hell it's nice weather up here :P up on surfers paradise till Friday for Tech Ed. Staying in the Avalon apartments on the river not a bad joint although a bit of a hike to the convention centre. I will have to try and convince the missues to let me take us on a road trip to fraser island that way i can pop in and say hi :D

oooh your sneeky.. where were u sorry man if i didnt wave bk.. was in my own world..

You were in the very right hand lane as you always are, and I was in the left lane.. I swear the left lane isn't as quick as it used to be.. Usually I can get ahead of so many cars in the left lane and switch into the right hand lane just before the entry before Southbank.. Know what I mean? :laugh:

:P That's just wierd... what's the chances of seeing both your cars on the same day... :)

haha i know i also found it quite funny....

:laugh:

Oh another note.. spotted will in his Golf leaving work on friday... :ermm:

AND spotted quite a few liners on Saturday morning up Cootha way... I was in Sim's 32 (FYN32)

And DAYYYYYM do Miss Niz's new wheels look HAWT!

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
