Hey Spectrix, I'm the guy in your street (same street as adelaide's most suss afl star), near the top up the hill, white car, dark tint, silver 17s, you always have the wheels off your car and other rexs, what the hell are you always doing? Didn't know that thing was an STI, cool. S13 drift machine is just a mate, he loves getting sideways, seen the supra come up too? It's pretty nice aswell.

I'll have to stop and say g'day some time.

Edit - Is that you Neill? I thought I'd see you around here.. spose I should have known from the honda avatar. When are you blinging your calipers over?

Hey Dean.. charly has already claimed to be you. :aroused:

The reason you see various cars with their wheels off outside my place is that I hold caliper painting workshops there, I also run these in Melbourne on a slightly larger scale. Also help people out with CAI's and sound deadening sometimes.

Anyway I always know when you go past cause of that special rb25 sound.

And yep my cars a sleeper STi. Specially made to confuse people at the lights.

Whats the story with 'adelaide's most suss afl star'?!

Hi All

Sorry to temporarily hijack the thread, but Ive been following the forum for awhile now and thought I'd better introduce myself, i think I've seen you guys out and about before but have never come over to say hi, either cause I'm running late or something.

I've had nissans before(a modded 200sx, R33 GTST) But in the stable at the moment resides a modded rex, and two bare spots, one for my Audi RS6 which I am dying waiting to arrive and the other spot for my R32 GTR which has spent more time in workshops then my home( its my weekend warrior)

Now that I've got that outta the way I am definately hoping to join you guys in a cruise sometime in the near future provided rexes can come and play.

Dru

    • Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)
    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
