Gday all - seing as this hasnt had much response on SDU i thought i tried my luck here.

I will be driving to QLD on Thursday May 23rd along with 2 other R33's including URMINE i believe, is anyone else planning on driving up there???

I would like to get a group together for this one as it will make a great site.... a wild pack of skyline owners thrashing through the countryside :)

We are looking at leave thursday late afternoon, possiblly either staying mid way and arriving in brisbane Fridya morning... or doing an all nighter.

whos keen!

Nick

Yeah that's pretty poor, but obviously some people just can't get time off work or UNI at all I guess. Although with the couple of months notice, no excuses really. I'm almost keen to drive to sydney just to drive up, how is an interstate cruise not awesome ? Anyway, i'm gunna try and take the whole weekend off from any work, so we'll have to hit the piss hard boys. Can't wait to meet some of you all hey.

Well if I lived in Sydney, I would have loved to have driven with you guys, but I'm taking the easy option and flying. It's just a bit too far for me to drive for only a weekend.

i drove up at Xmas, taking a couple of days each way, and even that took it out of me a bit.

Hope u get a few more guys, Nick. I was hanging out to see some other Skylines on that highway....doing the trip in a group will be awesome, even if there's only 3 or 4 of you.

Well the original two that I was going with are still coming.... its gonna be great fun... i cant understand why more arent coming for the drive...[/quote:72a4b36365]

ummmm........

Not anymore.

One of my close friends just informed me that his 21st is that weekend so I can no longer go to Drag Combat......But at least I still have 2 weeks off work.

    • Is anyone running these axles? R32, R33, R34 GTR front Axles. shafts itself rated 950hp. Suit all RB26 engines Croydon, Melbourne, Victoria Would be nice to pay half the cost of Driveshaft Shop Axles. I'm building an AWD S13 Coupe that is very low ride height (high cv angle) compared to stock R32. Has an RB30 with appx 600whp. Just looking for feedback. Thanks, Josh- https://www.instagram.com/feng_shui_garage/
    • Been a long time since r31 got some love, my brother dropped a shitbox ls1 crapadore in my lap to fix up.  Put a wiper motor in as the flooded one was no longer alive.  got windscreen wipers now. Time to clean respray and install back in the titanic  IMG_0505.mov
    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)
