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?

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
