Clean red SVD R31 with white wheels and personalised plates following me, this morning along Warrigul Rd.

Saw a white R34 coupe (not sure if it was a GTt or GTR from afar) along Dalton Rd Thomastown around 9am.

Spotted...

  1. white r32 gtr - dynon rd
  2. gray r35 gtr - also on dynon & followed it to droop st
  3. whole passels of skylines @ chasers
  4. white r33 - droop st/geelong rd
  5. burnt orange 350z - also on droop st
  6. forest green s14 - ballarat rd
  7. another forest green s14 - followed from mt derrimut rd into brimbank gardens

:down: was bored going home today so was playing spot the jap imports

Wine red R33 boosted it past me along St Georges rd.

I caught up at the red light - he kept looking forward....

Big NISMO sticker across the rear windscreen

I feel no love.

Why show off and not look at me? You obviously proved you can reach a red light faster than me.

on the other hand i cruised with a sexspec little fwd thing. so much kit chrome and candy green that i couldn't tell what it was, but it was turbo, and fast. took it very easy despite four or five commodores trying to race the both of us all the way down stud rd from knox. gave it a little hit to 80 at cheltenham rd from chandler rd lights, gave eachother a wave, and he turned off, i went home. guys in r33's are massive dicks in comparison

See my diagram up top for an explanation!

I think I've had one R33 acknowledge me, ever...and that was the night I picked up my car :P

What pisses me off though, is that you know they know you're there...it must take some control to just keep looking forward like that and pretending you don't notice.

    • Thanks for posting, your engine bay looks tops. I'm fairly sure you posted the wrong video though, I think you were supposed to upload the one from your "private test road" where it's banging off the limiter with the gate open?
    • This is something to be careful of. I did a bit of digging on the NM35, as I spend a lot of time on near brand new cars and CANBus related stuff, which uses the same "OBD2" plug for a fair chunk of making my life easy. The NM35, does NOT support OBD2. The data pin is actually on Pin3, which is a manufacturer specific pin, and requires Consult3 to connect to the NM35. Your low voltage, is either because the NM35 doesn't have 12V to the constant power pin on the J1962 (OBD2) connector, OR, it is attempting the standard comms, (CanBus, K Line, etc) and can't see any voltage on those pins. Some people have had success accessing SOME data from the vehicle on OBD2 specification, using a module that supports KPW. My assumption, like Duncan has stated, it will likely actually be JOBD, where there is some cross over with the OBD2 and JOBD standards. Note, lots of "OBD2" dongles, do NOT support KPW, which is what you need for a lot of Japanese vehicles of this era (And even up until recent years!), EG, Subaru, Suzuki, etc.    The end of this thread is probably worth a read, as some people did find a way to get a display up in the NM35 recently, looks like someone implemented all the stuff needed to make it work. (The right protocols).  
    • Depending on the purpose of the car, and how much more fabbing you want to do, and what clearances you have, you could look to raise the motor, which will raise the front diff up. Likely would mean altering the chassis rails etc etc, hence the more fab work you'd need to do. However, this can create issues, not just in clearance with everything fitting under the bonnet, but you've also raised a LOT of weight up in the car, and this will DEFINITELY alter handling characteristics (But, so will how much weight you've already added to the front end). You'll also have to deal with the fact the gearbox to rear diff is now out of alignment too for the tail shaft, and alter the angle of the diff, or deal with a bit of potential vibration. Raising the motor an inch up, is effectively the same as making the whole car sit higher by not lowering it as far. So one inch higher motor, theoretically means you can drop the car an extra inch lower, and maintain the same angles in the CVs. Again, depends on the purpose of the car. If it's a just cruiser on the street car, maybe won't be an issue. If it's meant to be a time attack car, I can see you not wanting to raise the motor. This is just for you to ponder as an idea.
    • Have you not seen geospy.ai? It can now give GPS co ords to within a metre from a photo, even if it's a random photo you take inside. Supposedly at the moment only the government/law enforcement has access to that... Supposedly...
    • I've got the rear ones, they're certainly beefy. I need to take them to my driveshaft guru to check over, he's very fussy about the quality of components so I'll let you know if they are made of cheese by a blind man.   Are you in Australia? A mate just had a set of EN26 shafts made for his K20 Lotus by our fabricator which were quite cheap (compared to Driveshaft Shop) so if you can procure the CV's and draw what you need he'd make them for ~$800 for the pair.
