Hi All,

Thought I'd post in here because not too much is in the events section.

Anyway, lets get all the Alice Springs skylines together for a cruise tonight, looks like you haven't all been too active lately.

Let me know the time and place.

howdy Ben!

nah, my car hasn't made it up here yet, I'm dirivng it up over xmas.

I have seen 2 skylines in town tho, a grey r32 driven by a young lady, and a black r34.

And I sure have noticed your car, it really stands out in a town full of SS commodores! Looks good :(

Yep,

i think the BP in town now has Ultimate,

The ONLY place to go to get your turbo looked at is this place called STREET TORQUE ph: 08 89527755 - Talk to Dallas. neat tidy workshop, and they he does pretty much EVERY single decently modified vehicle. the only place id take my car!!!

Street torque is the place to take it :)

when will you get into alice? you based in adelaide now?? or are YOU in adelaide, but your new skyline is comming up from somewhere? what are you driving now?

sorry for confusion :)

I live in Sydney, working in Alice for 6 months. Currently driving a rental pulsar.

But bringing my r33 up over christmas.

Thx for the workshop details, they look like what I'm after - I don't expect to need any work but just want to check out where to go if there are any problems - its good to see a knowledgable workshop up here.

Just one thing, is that the BP on gap rd, or is there one somewhere else? The car would love a good diet of 98 octane :)

yeah, I think everyone on SAU is in IT. I'm working out at the base until mid feb, we can catch up sometime in the new year.

Whats the story with the drag strip near the airport? is that ever used, or is everyone too busy zooming up and down the highway?

LOL. stuff using the airport, the highways is a good enough drag strip :(

LOL

the "old airport drag strip" is only a 1/8mile anyway :D

ps. nice speedo reading :D ive got one of them sitting around of my magna off the clock too, and the clock is at 240 :| woooooooooooosssshhh!!! lol.

yer, we will have to catch when

a) your car gets to alice

B) when my car gets out of the workshop

c) when i can afford to refuel my car :D

and

d) after christmas cos the cops hate me and i dont like driving when there' around cos they try to nab me for

i) too low

ii) too loud

iii) wheels outside of specification

iv) no rear view mirror

v) momo steering wheel

vi) excessive engine noise (twin throttle bodies ROAR my friend, you will hear it :D)

vii) clear tail lights *rolls eyes*

so as you can see, im a kinda target, hence why you prolly dont see me every day, but for a few days you will see me consectively :cheers: - i hide when i have to LOL

no way! that car attracts attention? :bahaha: Surely it can get faster than 240 tho, is that with all the current mods?

Good tip on BP too ultimate for 1.12/l much cheaper than tthe theives at Kings Canyon who charged 1.27 for standard 91 octane :hellpissed:

As for skylines, I've seen a grey R32 and a black R34. Not much of a collection.

I understand theres a few up in Darwin with all the army ppl - you guys should organise a cruise down, we can meet half way, say Tennant Creek lol.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
