Drifter,

I'm just keen to see what else is getting around at the moment. If there are any other HR31's, what the 32 and 33's are like, etc.

My skyline needs a good tune at the moment too so just running std boost until it all gets sorted. Still going well though.

Anyone looking at going to the Wakefield Park track day on the 15/9?

Is your R32 boosted Drifter?

Does everyone know where the carpark is opposite the Convention Centre?

My suggestion is that we meet there at about 9ish on Friday night. How does that sound? Slyder can you make that? It will be pretty empty which gives us a fair bit of room for everyone to show up and have a look at each others cars.

We can work out where to go from there.

What does everyone think?

I'll try my best to get out by 9, if not how do we contact each other? does anyone have those hand held cb's or mobile fones? if so what channel do we get each other on?

Is there enough light across the road from the conv centre? can't remember, havn't been that way a while in the dark.

Hmmm...Friday night...I think I can make that, so long as its not too early, maybe 9 or 10.

Should be good - it's been a while since the last one...

BTW Jay and I have each got one of those handhelds.

Repeater Channel 7 is probably the go to call on as it seems to work everywhere, but we should pick another one as well...

What do you reckon Jay ?

Yeah,

9 or 10ish would be good.

Are you guys gunna hang around for a while?

SilverSlyder, Yepp, as James said, we both have those uhf radios. We can make it either channel 33 or channel 7. I think the Isaac's repeaters will work from Civic too. Their on channels 2 and 8. But we'll just stick too 7 or 33.

Keen to check out some cars.

heres a few pics of what im whingin about, the turbo backlash blew the pipe off the turbo causing some major drama in the tuning( basically alot off air went missing but it still had the same fuel ie very rich) couldnt drive it on boost. But i have done a qucik fix ( still legit just not the best solution that comes when i high mount the turbo) and will have it there on FRi.

hERES what it shoulkd look like!!

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
