Bucket washing is soo stupid. It uses soo much more water. Car wash places aren't much better. Evil ppl, dropping the sponge onto the small stone encrusted floor, then rubbing this on the duco!!!! Or those stupid high pressure places... gah!!

Washing with a bucket is sooo stupid. Even my next door neibour that is a waterboard big wig thinks that it is stupid (so I just wash with garden nozzle on the hose :) ) He said he would not get me off a fine if I recieved one though :pissed:

Shout out to the old lady sitting on my tail on the m4 tonight. Silver 33 4 door ALS something plates. (Hope this works from a blackberry wireless)

lol, blackberry.. we offer tech support for those here at work :)

I reckon the whole "Skyline's are everywhere" thing is just a myth. I don't see many at all.

we all look extra hard for them in order to post it up on here :) , so we are bound to spot them driving around somwhere sooner or later :boinkcar:

saw a midnight purple r33 the other day near UTS library

didnt really check if it was GTR or a resprayed GTST due to the angle but it looked H O T

CF bonnet, nice rims, no badges though

btw, anyone goto uts?

i regularly see at least two of the following : type Rs, 180s, s15's, celicas parked outside building 10 and apollo

i even see lotuses, SL65 AMG(i think, not sure but had dual double exhausts and was wide AS!, owned by old man, presumed a head lecturer), maserati (owned by old woman, presumed a head lecturer also)

but i rarely see any lines

ecl, is ur skyline white in colour?

i saw a white r34 on george st heading to uts a long time ago

heya .. yeah, mine is white

but depends how long ago because i just got mine about 2 weeks ago

theres another white stockish r34 around the city which i've seen too

and another white one with a black wing

whoa hohoho!!!

just as i was walking to the bus stop at macquarie uni...i went past the car park....and there it was....i was blessed with the sight of an r34.....not gunna miss out on this opportunity....i ran up to it....and took a pic of it with my camera fone....ahhh memories...i have longed to stand nxt to a real one....licence plate letters were in blue, had a black wing

:drooling:

hohoho, saw a white r34 with black wing parked in maquarie uni car park as i was making my way to the epping bus stop...

couldnt help myself, i ran to the car....stood close to it and took a pic...

i wanted to stand close to an r34 for a long time, and now i have:D

it had plates with blue text :drooling:

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
