I work for ETSA aswell from marleston there were a few rumours getting around still funny

ah k, which part of marleston? supply restoration, CBD or Substation branch? Got a few mates spread across those areas

I dont know... something RB26DETT, AWD, has a GTR badge on the rear and preferably between the years of 1989 to 1994 and in gunmetal grey, white or black.

Oh. I've heard about those types of cars. Apparently they can be fun. Did they come in black?

Anyone know a place to get a car properly cleaned that has been sitting in the elements for too long and needs some real TLC? I was looking at the place on Unley Rd and just checked out their website. Seems fairly pricey. Anyone used them and were they happy with the results?

randomly searching around tryin to find price for a tier 2 vehicle identity inspection, stumbled across the new VIS (Regency/Lonsdale) Vehicle Inspection fees..........defect clearance just got epically more expensive!

theres a place opposite charminars that does hand detailing for the $50 mark iirc, I prefer to clean it at dazzlers myself and then let either prestige or lex do a detail for me every few months

-D

Now when it says Second Inspection does that mean for the same defect...or next time the car goes through.

think thats where u go and you've been given more things to look at / rectify......so second visit essentially. Dont think they've got a "frequent visitors" discount...........yet :)

$143 sounds rite to me, never had to go back a second time though.

lol Dale means more money for petty to go driving :)

True but the 180 doesn;t have an engine in it ATM and i dont have the street car that's running either. And i'm still getting knackered at the drop of a hat so i'm still to sick to fix either of them. but i am really saving money because there's no alcohol or petty to buy.

Going on an impromptu cruise for GTR's only.

PM me before 11am if you want to come. Meeting in a specific location at midday and then cruising the hills for 2-3 hours.

Numbers are limited, and entry is restricted to GTR's. Sorry, but thems the breaks. After 11am tomorrow I'll be driving and wont have time to talk to people, so if u got stuff all else to do tomorrow, have a gtr, and have the petrol, msg me.

No exceptions.

-D

awwww.... but i wanna play with the cool kids. :(

looks like its going to be a raging success. :)

lol, but i dont lose oil pressure and spin a bearing...

hows the running in going?

well now that you've just jinxed yourself... =P

eh, painful, still another 400km to go and BW closed till some time next year so have at least 3 weeks more of it =(

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
