Had a quick chat to a guy with the silver R34 GTT sedan at a servo last night. Seemed like a nice guy.

That was me. I'll have to get off my lazy arse an come along to a cruise sometime and introduce myself but I've been embarrassed about how badly my cars been running.

It's getting a tune-up on Tuesday so I'll be out sometime after then hopefully. I'll keep an eye on this thread and watch out for cruises.

This is the issue I had, none of the other 33's with the cooling panel seem to have this bolt on them :S

Its the top bolt for the support for the bracket for the horn + bonnet cable support. Not a big deal, just a bit unsure why it only seems to be on my car and noone elses lol

Also, I posted this in the Mackay thread but anyway, heres my saturday car washing, buffing and waxing effort

Fitted new flex blade wipers as well, 20kw increase right there ;)

tobu, what do u do for a living? not in the army by any chance are u? a sig?

nope, not an aye-jay. I was working in radio production but am currently out of work...

Which means I'm very nervous about my first ever tune tomorrow. If anything goes wrong I'll be up shits creek (lol - living off my fiance for the last month) but I need it done because it's chewing through a tank in 200k's.

Plus - I want to find out if this 3076r was worth my christmas bonus.

Anyone want to meet up?

First weekend that I have work off.

Oh and Hi everyone.

mofo, I'm sure some of the boys will come out when they have free time. hows the R31 kickin?

NEVER!! :domokun:

Next April 100% Airlie beach cruise again. We will get way more cars to go though.

If anything, I'm in second place for carbon whore at the moment, Ask Rob and Fritz ahahaha

Definitely keen on Airlie cruise, motor will hopefully be done soon..... Probably going straight to Dan to be built / machined.

Also looking at flying Sean (HYPED6 on here) from EFI up to tune the 33 at end of year when I go the haltech. Probably going to talk to Dan from MTQ about using their dyno or might go to ARB...... not sure.

Meh its got the classic rb25 misfire anything over 10psi.

Ive checked the gaps, and they are all 0.6-0.7mm

Checked the coils, and I cant seem to see any cracks?

Ill just save up for the splitfires.

...annoyingly, no where near as quick as my old corolla.

Also saw PM-R33 car out at autobarn.

Saw when you were being interviewed.

Seem to know your shit eh?

Sweet as, I'm keen either way. Only seeing good results from them. Will let you know though.

Also, fitted up the EVC-V over the weekend. need to 100% it, but this is how it will look from the outside.... and yes, that is a speed readout :P - going to have the "high boost" setting set to unleash full boost at over 80 / 100km/h..... we will see though. Took some time to make the panel though, Dremel and a steady hand with A LOT of trial fitting got it in there, it's not perfect, never was going to be by doing it by hand.... but my god it's sitting nicely for being done by hand..... couple small over "cuts" where the dremel went crazy (or I did) but otherwise, winnah

Phil works there now, he's their resident carbon whore :P

But seriously, it will be good to see Autobarn actually being worth visiting now.

might even park the dirty tree next to yours, Phil :P

Chris, when i get a chance I will try n have a look at the 31 for you. You have my number and know where I live. :)

Edited by Force Fed

and now, gotta start doing work. Back occasionally through the day :)

Also - Anyone else getting Forza Motorsport 4 on release? I'm going to preorder the collectors in a few days. might keep me sane I think.

Who's tuning it for you? What ECU?

I've got a Nistune daughter-board and Paul from Xtreme is doing the tune today. I've heard both good and bad things but frankly no one else in town I talked too seemed at all interested in dealing with the nistune. The quotes I got from other places were about 100x more than what Xtreme offered but I had to wait because they are installing a new dyno... which didn't turn up so he'll be doing the tuning on TMS's dyno.

Here's a rundown of the car for anyone interested:

- Unopened RB25DET Neo (omg, trip-tronic~!)

- Garrett 3076r turbo

- 3" exhaust and FMIC by Hi-Flow

- Sard 8mm Fuel Regulator

- Z32 AFM

- Spitfires coils and some platinum sparks

- K&N POD

- NISTUNE daughter-board

- Larger transmission cooler

Anyone want to make guesses on how much KW that'll give me? or if it'll just grenade?

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
