Was in Sydney for the weekend and to cut a long story short, I somehow ended up in a outer fringe suburb (Annongrove i think?) to visit friends.

I was near a park and an Gun Metal R33 GTST, came gunning past, clutching it in the wet at a pretty decent speed.

He came back after maybe 10 mins later, doing the same thing, except for this time, he lost it and smashed into a pole, writing off the car.

The back of this car was destroyed pretty much, but the guy hopped out ok. Huge crowd gathered and when it dissipated after a few minutes the guy managed to get his car moving, the back of the car destroyed and smoke blowing EVERYWHERE.

In conclusion, this guy was a goose and I'm pretty sure would have died from shame and is VERY VERY lucky, any person in the backseats would have died, so he was save by less than a metre.

Other than that, saw a lot of nice Skylines in Sydney, although bling bling Chromies seem to be much more of a fashion when compared to Melbourne.

spotted WLD-25L R33 in Westfield Chatswood carpark tonight

Also spotted a black R34 GTT parked in Chatswood Victoria Ave

That black 34 would be mine.. Dont often park on Victoria Ave, But I know im the only one with a black 34 around that area.. so i guess it must be :thumbsup: at that time the car would have been close to stock .. maybe rims? got abit more now :domokun: Hard to remember RTA issued plates isnt it :P

The Silver 33 is a nice machine.. Forget his name but owns a real sweet 33 .. Prob one of the best IMO

Spotted a broken down gray R32 with bodykit AWU-.. on Epping Road yesterday evening.

Also spotted a black R32 with P-plates turning off Epping Road onto Delhi Road a while later.

you looked just as tired as I did

could barely put my hand out the window to wave lol.

yep.... that about sums it up ....lol ! Although work thought I looked sick and sent me home early ;)

Spotted a gold R33 GTST with an aftermarket front bar and LED hot plates parked next to Canterbury BMW today.

If you're on here, you wouldn't happen to work in the workshop, would you?

hey mate,

I thought ur sicker said crim. performance but now i c different

Cruised home tonight about 10:30ish, on Forestway/Warringah rd with a black Series 2 coupe with 17's that looked like AVS Model 5's and stock exhaust. No stickers and stock rego plates so I'm not sure your even on here?

Spotted in Hornsby Westfield Carpark tonight a maroon R33 with 400R rear bar and GTR wing, didn't check the front, looked clean tho. And also a black R33 GTS-T with a veilside front bar, vented bonnet, GTR wing and a GTR badge stuck on the back. :D Also had green P Plates

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
