Yer, FTO drivers used to wave at other FTO drivers, but not so much anymore. I think it's because more people buy them for looks now rather than being an enthusiast.

When I was riding, most motorbike riders give the 'node of approval'

anyway, back to spotting, spotted a nice black R32 with black rims last night on hindmarsh 'YEN-???' nick put his old rims back on between saturday and tuesday?

and also a blue R34 GTR with gold rims, can't remember were now.

That was me. Were you in your FTO? I was looking for some Hungry Jacks.

Yer, I was in the orange cockroach turning off to the parkway to city, only saw your car for a second or so before turning off. I doubt you'd find any hungry jacks heading towards woden at 7:30ish, I think the woden foodcourt hungry jacks closes at 5ish. damn I love their breakfeast wraps.

Your car looks very similar to Cef11e's car with his old rims on, black with polished dish.

Silver 33 S2 down through Chisholm, I tried keeping up but the speeds he reached were really quite impressive down past the oval. Think they may have even kicked it sideways a couple times. :) . Think its the same car thats parked outside at Fadden?

OOOPS...was that about 1pm..if so it was me...i was giving it a bit of stick lol

    • 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
