Got the DVD yesterday; short but sweet show & tell of "satanic" put a very big smile on my face.

Thanks for the kind words, the time & the effort!

And thanks to Terry for sending me the PM; I got the DVD the same day and let's just say it's made my birthday this year that little bit more special ;)

I liked how Andrew quoted the phrase, "...on the strength of Skylines Australia Forum..." :laugh:

And now the 'PERFORMANCE IMPORTS' Mag Issue #113 'Best Of The Best' has made its appearance as of yesterday.

6 pages about the 10th Anniv. Celebration pp 74-79

5 pages displaying pics 'n praise on Bakes' black beauty and also a major gong winner at the 10th Anniv. pp 52-56

mxfly's (Eugene's) vision has come to fruition :(

It certainly has, Terry! Good article by Nick (Black Widow), great photos, and good turnout made the R34's "10th anniversary" article a good read.

Bakes' car is just gorgeous, full stop!

Hey guys

Just bought the new HPI magazine, theyve got this event covered really well. Worth the buy - also includes 100 of the best imports!

Enjoy!

Yuka-san, Shanil, didn't even know till to-day that "PERFORMANCE IMPORTS #113" with her Mt Wilson pic in it, is out in the stands.

She's off to the newsagent now to get it. She's still getting over her trip back from Japan.

And she hasn't had a chance to see MOTIVE DVD #3 yet either. Good on her, for coming to the event with her 1 month old baby!

That's dedication - even tho' she used to be employed by WORK WHEELS JAPAN at one stage and is interested in GT-Rs. :blush:

Yeah I saw her in the magazine! I would definitely need to think twice about taking out a four week old child to an event like that, so it does show her passion and love for the car!!!

I sure do hope this gets put back into the active view.

Everyone needs to go to Speedhunters as the article i wrote (along with Xmetals photos) have been featured!

Enjoy!

Thanks Bobby!

Thought i'd update with a more appropriate link:

Speedhunters

Nice one mate. Love the choice of photos too :P

but I'm beginning to think I should change my number plate; 1983 doesn't make me sound that young any more!

Thanks Nick - That article of yours is more than 'gloss goss'; with quite of a bit of thought put into it!

It's nice to re-cap...

    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
    • lights are on just the one click.  
    • Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.
    • When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
