Well lads, I'm formally one of the fold again.

Thanks to our good friend GTR Ken I now have my own GTR sitting happily in the carport:D

Pitty about the bloody weather & these wet roads as I haven't had a chance to have a play yet:(

Look forward to seeing you guys on the street.

Cheers,

Micko.

Ken can you give me some instruction in the art of GTR?

I've gotta get me one of those GTR's....and some pain killers for the dodgy clutch foot

What !!, your asking ME. Don't forget I binned one:D

Seriously , you gotta put faith in the ATTESSA and if you have the power slide on in a corner, apply about 1/2 as much lock as you think is necessary and wait for the front torque to come in.Takes a bit of getting used to .

Thanks Ken first corner had a bit too much lock on but figured it must be as you mentioned.

It's an strange feeling sitting there with not as much to do just letting the car do the work.

Rhino

I'm getting addicted to these bloody GTR's

They're an amazing car ....and good fun on a wet road.

The MC day should be great for you and Micko to test the limits safely.

Drive safe everyone I'm off to Phuket for a couple of weeks while the 34 gets a brain transplant courtesy of Dr Lumpy. Can't wait to see how it goes .

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
