Hi Terminal, haven't been on for awhile... the gtr's been off the road... had to get a few things fixed and I was driving a hire car for awhile, you don't know what your missing till you drive a complete s**tbox.. anyway glad to be in the gtr again, will try and make a friday soon

btw, did you get your 2nd dan?

Nah i have the grading in 3 weeks. i have a comp in 2 weeks in moss vale, hopefully i don't get too injured to grade. glad you've got your car back on the road. i know what i'm missing now driving my old skyline again after having the madwagon for a year, but the wagon still dominates in style.

kool 2nd dan, i take it thats taekwondo ranking? does that mean kyu and shihan is taekwondo too? or am i just talking tekken 5?

Dan is used in most martial arts, Kyu is japanese and is used for colour belt rank, taekwondo use the term Gup for colour belt ranks. Dan is used for black belt rank. i have no idea what shihan is from, probably means master or instructer in japanese

Haha damn you beat me to it, i was gonna post up that i saw you, i saw you from miles away and chased you down, thats why i made sure i caught up and gave a wave, i would have gone the same way home as you but needed petrol in Phillip, car is looking hot as always  :huh:

Heh.. yeah the Z doesn't exactly blend in to traffic, neither do 'lines for that matter :D

You scared the crap out of me going around that round-about in the inside lane, when I first saw you out of the corner of my eye. I am not used to other cars going through round-abouts anywhere near as fast as I usually do. If you were driving a comondore you would have flown off the road at that speed.

P.S are you guys still having regular get-togethers?

Heh I only was sure it was you a split second before you stuck your arm out the window, I couldn't remember how I could be sure it was you, then it hit me - R34 wheels :D

About an hour before I saw Leech I had an encounter with FoX on the Monaro highway

haha yeah i didn't think you had seen me sneak up on you so when we hit the round about i slammed it into 2nd and floored it to catch you lol.

It would have been good if we had kept going without the bloody traffic, oh yeah, i want your car :D

Also spotted me gassing it to catch up to Ewen's 33 last night on knoke av just b4 he turned up into his street, i caught you just as you turned at the last round about but i dont think you noticed me.

Also spotted a black 33 leaving the Lanyon shops this morning at 11.30, it also could have been Ewen but it may have been a bit early for you :)

Spotted a maroon R32 with red ACT plates in belco, drove past across benjamin way

I spotted this as well. Parked outside Autobarn in Belconnen, looked hot as. Same colour as mine, had tasteful 18's on it and more importantly was a GTR(unlike mine :D lol.). Took a few pics of it but didnt get time to tell him to join up here, hadn't seen it around Canberra before.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
