Not Skylines, but saw a red NSX drive past my house on friday night :D

And a VE SS that someone was test driving... Ugh. I was willing to withhold my judgement on the way they look until I saw one in the flesh. It's in. F-U-G-L-Y :D

Myself and two other 'lines in a brief mini convoy down Ginninderra Drive this evening about 5.30pm.

There was what I think was a black/deep purple R32, a similarly coloured debadged R33 behind him, and me bringing up the rear in my silver R33. The R32 turned right towards McKellar and the guy behind him continued down Gin. Didn't get more details than that though...

Im pretty sure that would have been me... When I went to grab something out of it in the morning I was like "Which one is mine again?" as they look so damn similar. You must have good tastes! :O

i thought it was you. i was gonna come along-side and give a wave, but you sped up a little. i would've followed you to say hi, cause i haven't met you yet, but i was running late for other stuff i had going on....

maybe next time :(

also, last night at jerra, a grey R33 with an SAU sticker on the rear window drove though the carpark at about 7:15. anyone wanna own up to not coming and saying hi? :(

Saw a silver Stagea on the Barton Highway last night. Pretty sure it would’ve been terminal??? Anyway, thanks for the warning about the speed trap PAL… Fortunately I was travelling at the posted speed limit but a little heads up wouldn’t have gone astray.

Flash Flash???

Also spotted myself being pulled over 3 times in the last two days by my friends in blue. Is something in the water? On all three occasions they pulled me up and said g’day commented on the car a bit, did a license and rego check. And told me to have a nice day??? The first guy was even asking about insurance and fuel prices… Thanks for stopping me for the chat officers, if we keep up this healthy working relationship I’ll be quite happy. None of them gave me much grief about the car either. The second couple of blokes asked about the battery in the boot but that was about it…

I think they're just trying to make you feel like there's always someone watching. I've heard that the police are currently having one of their "blitz sessions" so it's probably something to do with that. Suppose keep doing nothing wrong and you'll be fine

Hey JaiJai, dont mean to sound like a prick, but its realy not a good idea to say where you have seen parked cars, as there are way to many want to be crims that read these forums.

We are all guilty of doing this too, but with current state of affairs its just not you know...

Thanks

My bad - lesson learnt wil edit just in case

    • And these modern "environmentally friendly" EV vehicles also run on the same smoke! When the engine, wiring, or batteries let it escape it also stops running!
    • Yeah - I found the same information too.. 30% open is like 85% of flow etc. So it's probably going to be minor if not completely imperceptible. I also have a larger pod filter here, will swap that on and see if there's any difference. The hardest part is finding a place to uh, test this. It's quite noticable just how much having ducting to the otherwise completely open pod cools the intake temps down. It's better boxed, or shielded but driving for 30 seconds really makes it plummet to near ambient temperatures. I recall in the past when I was a RB land and had a nice flowing airbox -  - Then I took the lid off and put a pod there, and gained 9 psi of boost and about 60kw from the restriction I didn't know I had - with the controller at same duty cycle. However finding people using over the radiator intakes having similar KPA drops at WOT on built setups makes me think there restriction could be the exhaust or potentially the headers. Either way though, there's no real estate to play with and nothing that can realistically be done about it. The original dyno plot without the airbox, and the larger pod had a better curve. It was later I added the ducting and airbox, and a smaller pod to make it fit in there...
    • That's not completely truthful now is it? Any flex fuelled factory cars also had the option to run on steam.
    • Yeah so I guess your mechanic would know turnaround better than me....but I would have thought you had access to same day or overnight rack rebuilds there....any big city here in Australia has that service.   There are a couple of o-rings and seals involved, I guess the risk is the part is specific not general. Other option is if you can have it on stands in your garage for a while, steering rack removal is pretty simple (2 mounting brackets, 2 ball joints (separate by undoing the nut to the top of the threads, put a pry bar between the steering arm and control arm to put pressure on it then medium force on the side of the ball joint or top of the nut with a hammer to break it free) and then the trickiest bit is the splines to the steering rack (not too bad to undo, one nut then it slides out, but mark it first so you can reassemble it straight)
    • Looks like whiteline don't do springs any more, part# used to be 70191 from a search. Any spring for a 32/33 GTR should fit, just look for something factory not lowered/firmer unless that is your goal
