hey mate, yeah I live on the coast too and drive a midnight blue R33 gtst. I see atleast 3 - 4 skylines every time i'm on the roads (every day) but i have also found that there's not many of them on here for some reason? not sure why. shame really.

oh sick. yehh i see shitloads around but never hear anyone on here on the coast. we'll all have to organise a meet and greet thing one week when everyones cars going, mines all sweet atm but yeh will be keen on like a thurs, fri, sat night thing.

sounds good to me, have you seen the new black GTR V spec with the plates 'Crackr'? Man that thing's one sweet beast. apparently it's worth around $120k

P.S if i posted on the 'Spotted' QLD thread every time i actually saw a skyline i'd be a forum troll.. there's so many.

I am always looking at lines on the coast , but mine is track only now as it is

A pretty trashed drifter , would love to street it again as I am always looking at

roads to hit LOL

hi,

there is a germ of a good idea here I reckon. I tried to get a gathering [meets]happening on the Coast a couple of years back [just after the GC Council closed down the Saturday night 'meets' at the Broardwater Car Park], there was some interest at the time but the thread disintergrated into a 'shitfight' as different factions had their say; fair enough that is what the forum is about; people having their say, but the idea died, and that was disappointing. good that you have sparked some interest here.

haha yeahh thats true.

actually fair few people are keen in the events section of EOI for a cruise and im hopeing it will work out. too much brissy stuff lol want more gold coast stuff. so yeahh worth a try and hopeing it'll work. but im doing my manual conversion next friday and take couple days gettin things together and etc. so yeh if everyone elses car is sweet probably be some time in May.

    • Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.
    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
