Inner West Crew Whoretown (toowong/st Lucia/kenmore/indooroopilly And Sometimes Sunnybank?)


Recommended Posts

So I just read back through the thread for curiosity's sake. I've been here since page 102, and met most of you fools on the 23rd of July last year. Easy to remember - it's my mother's birthday.

mmmm i have a turbo on hold for my rb25....

Also spotted john's resume in my bosses email inbox this afternoon. Hope for a call up soon

What kind of guitar do you have? Or are you getting?

We should jam :(

Currently have an Ibanez SZ320 tuned to drop C or drop B, and a shitty gibson 175 hollow copy that plays like a dream. Used to rock a Mesa single rectifier + current era marshall 1960 angled cab, but sold that when I bought the skyline... been kicking myself ever since :)

So now I've got an ashton solid state piece of shit 100w combo which does the job for practicing... but definately looking at getting a marshall/mesa/randall 50w tube head as soon as I can afford.

Man.... I really wanna rock a 7 string again. Used to have one... for BONE CRUSHING HARDCORE DOWNTUNING GOODNESS RAWWWWWRRRRRR

I know the kicking onesself feeling. I sold my VOX amp and Chris Cheney Gretsch to fund my Skyline. Would much rather have kept them and not had the car :(

The gibson copy sounds sexy btw :(

Oh it is... plays nicely and that's the reason I bought it from cash convertors... as soon as I picked it up I knew!

Need to swap the pickups out though, it sounds like ass when plugged in hahaha. Nah it's not TOO bad, I've got my preset banks set up in my boss gt so I use a couple of banks for the SZ, and a couple of banks for the 175 with different EQ settings blah blah blah.

f**king mustangs. I mean skylines.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
