Hey stranger, not seen you for long time! Saw you at meet for 6am cruise but thought you were coming

so could catch up later, oh well, next time. Got all your wheel nuts on tight now? ha ha......

Good to see some of the original members still on here, you are one of the rare few who joined before me!

Cheers, John

G'day John, it has been a while mate, it certainly has. It was good to at least say hi face-to-face on the morning of the cruise, as brief as it was - I had commitments later that morning so unfortunately I couldn't come on the cruise proper. Ha-ha, yeah those wheel nuts are rock solid these days, I know that cause I fitted all new studs and I fit the wheel nuts on these days :happy: The 35 looks and sounds great mate, as does the 33. You, Andrew and I, and one or two others, we've been around on SAU for a while now. I still remember the days of SDU, when I was still young - late 90's.

Well im waiting for the Supra to be finished bloody picked it up around christmas, took it back for 30 psi tune and we found out the head had broken springs and stuff. So when that one is finished the 34 can get the necessary cooling system and engine rebuild done.

But yeh when your ready man on the brakes, i gotta say i have no complaints about them whatsoever, and the Supra will be getting the same package, i also have knowledge that my set came out of the same factory that builds the Patented Greddy Grex package.

Sorry to hear about the Supra, not good mate. When I was at BW last I saw a bunch of under-bonnet parts sitting in a pile and figured it wasn't good. Hang in there mate, it will get there in the end. Both cars are awesome bits of kit, a JZA80 and an R34 GT-R, spoilt for choice.

The brake package is a bargain. Half the price and the same quality as the name brand items.

brakes.... best deal I found around was the following, paid $869usd delivered for wilwood superlite 4-piston calipers, drilled 330mm rotors, metal lines, pads, bolts, & brake bracket mount.

sample - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/330mm-200SX-Skyline...=item1c11584bd6

Ive put these on my R32 gtst sedan rb26dett Im doing up as a 2-seater track. Added speedbleeders for fluid bleeding ease.

The stagea is using the r32 front gtr calipers.

Brendan, nice buy mate! That's a lot of gear for the money - especially when the AUD was in the $0.90's. The track car sounds like a lot of fun too. The brake set-up George is talking about is a little more expensive, but bang for buck is outstanding value for a 380mm rotor, huge 6-8 piston caliper, line, bracket and pad deal. And the quality is as good any of the Japanese brand name kits.

Thanks, Kel. And I hope your potential employment situation comes out the way you want it too. Fingers crossed.

Thanks, Damo. Mate if you do manage to scan it, do me a favour, don't put the photo of my face up on here - talk about a shocker!

Hey Matty. Yeah for sure mate. I haven't driven the 33 much of late, but certainly keen to get it out. I haven't seen you since that day at Macca's - you and the missus were arriving and Kim and I were leaving. What are you driving these days? We should look at having a reunion with the old school crew.

G'day mate! Been a while but yes the car is finally at a point I can drive it whenever I want - sort of. Thanks. So how about the big 3.1L, how is she going? Does it drink E85 these days?

Ironically mine has been doing what yours was. Sitting for a long while. Mates neighbor backed into the front 1/4 panel, then got defected 5mm too low....its been sitting since. I'll have the time soon to start playing with it again but first i need to fix them minor problems :banana:

Cubes is the one to ask about energy drinks these days too :thumbsup:

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.

      Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...

      Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.

      So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
