Hi guys im Nathan John im 19 live in Adelaide, SA. Ive been registered for a long while but havnt posted or introduced myelf. Currently im driving a Vp commodore ( I know bloody Holden ) But it has done me well since ive had it, She is just a V6 5 speed manual with mods such as extractors, 2 and half inch exhaust, forced induction using piping from the front bumper, pod filter, heavy duty exedy clutch and custom chrome air piping. Ill be selling this car shortly becuase i have a 1998 R33 Skyline gts-t m spec coming with the help of Iron Chef which his services have been really great so far!

Ill tell ya a little about myself, i work for the Bridgestone factory at Salisbury and have been for nearly half a year now its great, i was tossing up between a R34 gt-t or a 300z i asked Kristian from Iron Chef about importing the 300z but sadly we cant! Then i decided on the R34 but i want to buy a house by early next year so its the R33 which i came across Chef's website alot of times but never thought anything of it until it clicked and i emailed then rang Kristian and currently im at the point of waiting for it to be shipped, I just paid for the car which was including other fees $5,114.09 plus brokers fee yesterday so im really at the starting point. Im very happy on how this car looks even with the missing stereo and the front bumper is a fixer but otherwise from what ive seen its really cool! The car will be a everyday driver the first mods will be the GFB bov which you can change electronicly from inside your car to bov or plumbed back, around $700 but i think its worth it since it will be to use everyday. Yeah anyways hope you guys well and good night.

Thank god; try hard race car fake exhausts lolz!

very nice car though! commodores are great reliable daily drivers but when you jump in a skyline its like you have come out of a coma and suddently have control back.

Haha cool, Yeah its in adelaide now just waiting on compliance. Ill have to post some more pictures when i get it and put a stereo in there and fix the front bumper plus take that stupid race fuel sticker off! Its f$@ken ridiculous.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
