So 'the' day has finally came. I now am now gtr-less *insert epic sad face here*. Am leaving the nissan 4 wheelers for a suzuki 2 wheeler. Was going to add a comment about how a gtr isn't the best form of transport for a family man starting out...but neither is a bike...soooo that kinda stuffs that. Anyways, Gabnr's new master's name is Quoc, extremely nice guy and will be joining the forum soon. So fellas, be nice to him as you've all been ever so nice to me.

Quoc ==> beware of the west side boys, they bite, but not hard and are a awesome bunch of guys. Enjoy the forums and your newly aquired car. Ps. forgot to tell you, it's due for it's 2000km service (if you decide you're a weirdo like me and like to spend more time looking after it than driving it).

Hi All,

I have finally found time to join SAU (at work.... shh) . Been busy with a mates wedding, being the best man and all is damn tiring.

Anyway, I am indeed the new proud owner of "gabnr". Been searching around for a car for about 3 months before I found Michael's GTR, been looking between Evo 6, FD's and GTR Skylines.

On the day of inspection I was amazed at how clean the car was and how well it ran. So I pretty much snapped it up straight away.

The only plans for the car is just suspension work/tweaks. Just rest assured that gabnr will be looked after and is in good hands.

Anyway, looking forward to meet some of the SAU members some day.

Cheers :rolleyes:

Mattee welcome to the 2 wheels world of things....

Don't worry mate, you were not the only one to leave the GTR scene for similar reasons!

Bunta-Q i can tell you that 2 years ago when i first saw this car, the owner was a pussy! =D This keeps his car true in the condition you bought it.

Anyways hojak if you ever want to go for a ride PM me i have a 675 and plenty of torque.

*tears* When does the bike come? Any idea what bike your getting? I wanted to get my license sorted over Christmas but not sure if I'll have enough money now :(

Just picked up the bike today. Was hoping to pick the bike up as soon as i sold gabnr to help me forget about selling it, but instead, i had a few weeks to think hard about what i've done. All good now. It's a purple gs500e. leave me alone people, purple is cool.... :(

Man you were supposed to sort your licence out on your birthday, haha. What happened? pro honda in rocklea is sweet. They gave me a 2 for one deal for a two day coarse (as i've never riden before), took a friend, halved the cost, sweet. Paid for my first day, and passed the coarse. Didn't have to pay for the second day. So basically i paid a quater of the retail price of a standard 2 day coarse---mucho cheap, paid like $120 for my licence. Might be a way for you to get it cheap. You got a bike already?

Ended up holding off on the license as uni was hectic and I needed wheels for the pig at the time lol. I'll check them out that sounds like an awesome deal lol. I haven't got a bike yet still saving/ trying to sell the pig. Admittedly I haven't been trying too hard.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.

      iPad gauge cluster

      First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
