i got a manual wagon that i will sell as is for $500. at the mo its got cut springs and a rooted cat and rear muffler. i was gonna replace shocks and springs with peddats lowered springs and KYB shocks and fix the exaust and sell for $1500 with rego and RWC

altho it is in canberra. either way let me know if you interested

DM

Hey champ, still love watchin vids of you smokin the skid pan up! yeeaah

Is the R31 just non turbo 3L?

Mines rego'd for 12 months, manual and has a sick pod filter - $1500 :P and extraxctorsd in the boot...yes im drunk but hey, good buy there!!

Ditto, non turbo 3L?

I also have disrespectful intentions :ermm:

Nice work Chris you can go faster tho you broke for no reason in a few place 3 lot of cones for one sould be able to slide thought them.

Yeah, it was my first time out, and first with the car..so was being very conservative... I think i may have been able to do a 51, but my fastest was a 55..But i was happy..We both came home in 1 piece..lol

haha...i was really hoping the footage was gonna go sideways round that gravelled up sharp left...and then straighten up again of course!! but alas...

Nah i took it easy too...first time ever on a track. So much fun. You must be wrapped to have that footage Chris! :ermm:

Hey everybody, I just wanted to thank everybody who made last weekend happen. It was my first time on a track/highway and I had a brilliant time. The best part was the skid pan, and I loved watching DM cutting it up... :ermm:

Now for my shameless plug, I have a 31 GXE for sale beige/bone in colour, lowered, 2 1/2in exhaust from extractor’s back, fully sick pod (I mean it, it needs a wash!) Mostly shagged LSD, sillo wheels (2 good tyres, 2 that I used last w/end on the skid pan) and 3 months reg. $1500

Only selling cause I now have 3 31s

Yeah, it was my first time out, and first with the car..so was being very conservative... I think i may have been able to do a 51, but my fastest was a 55..But i was happy..We both came home in 1 piece..lol

Yer was my frist time out too was also happy to have the car back in one piece. Been a 3 year build that still has so many bugs still 50awkws down on what i sould have :)

Yep, I was happy with the footage..But, it also gives me some pointers on where to stick cameras next time..So over the next few week, i also plan to try and set my digital camera up in the car too, with the aim of having it all stock standard, so no drilling etc.

A few of the vids I have you can hear the rear wheels spinning on that gravel..next time we need a broom...haha..

yeah mate just a 3L non turbo GXE wagon. beige, all the electrics work except the power antenna which is stuck in the up position. its also got a fully sick pod, and ill most likely throw in some spares that i have. and ill sell it with 12 month old shocks and lowered springs in the front and brand new shocks and lowered springs in the rear, with a CD player and maybe a cannon on the back if you want with a RWC for $1500

or you can buy it as is with cut springs, CD player, pod, no cannon and no RWC for $500

oh yeah and altho its just got a single spinner diff, its the only R31 single spinner that almost always chucks doubles

but if your in sydney it might make it a bit hard as im in canberra.

let me know

Why whats she making now???

I dont know how much more i will get from my next tune. Should be a bit. :stupid:

I went to the event with street legal tyres and this is what I came home with this.

No wonder I could not put the power down on the back track in the tight bits.

Tyre problem now solved with a nice new set - glad I did not replace them before the event.

What are the new tyres you are putting on?

    • how do you know voltage is fine?  quick easy test is connect DMM up and put it on max/min mode, remove fuel pump fuse, crank car for 3-5s, go check min voltage You'd be surprised how many "healthy" batteries are showing under 10v during this test in cold weather. 
    • Not properly. You need to be able to dissipate 100 amps or so to doing it meaningfully. You can do it indirectly by watching to see how far the voltage falls during cranking. Unplug the coils or something else to prevent it from starting so you can get a good couple or three chugs. It also helps if you have the multimeter set up reading before you start, and that it has max/min functions. So you can catch the real minimum without having to watch the screen, which often doesn't update fast enough to show the real max/min in dynamic situations. Or use a digital oscilloscope, which can be obtained for <<$100 from Aliexpress (although I'd argue for paying up to ~$200 for a nicer one). A >4 yr old battery will very likely be well down the path to the knackery. Many only last 5-6 years these days. The cold weather lately will definitely make it worse.
    • Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.
    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
