OK 1st thing:

Wednesday night 7:30 Morayfield - Time and area sorted (Chris will you be attending this northside meet?)

location - We doing indian brothers or fasta pasta?

Excuses

1st Q - I had a cheap FMIC on my 33 held pressure really well depends on what power you want to make if it is 200kw+ then spend the money on a good one to avoid pressure drop a FMIC doesn't really make power but it can sure as shit kill ti.

2nd Q- A boost T like the one I have in my 32 is great for starting out with and are good for making as much pressure as your stock turbo / wastegate can make, when your looking at serious numbers ( above 200kw's ) or want multiple boost settings then look at an electronic system, Note some manual ones are prone to spiking

Boiracer

Give me a ring and drop round I'll take ya for a strap in it and you can see if you like the ride of the V1's they are a shit tone better than the ones that were in it.

Everyone else

We are looking for Idea's for cruises and group events for northside so have a think about this during the week and we will have a chat about it wednesday night (locations, times, venues of interest blah blah blah)

I also have some news regarding some functions that may become available to us later this year or early next year remind me to let you all in on it on wednesday night.

FMIC - The one i was looking at was is the cooling pro type 1 600 x 300 x 76 at only $400, i was going to get the blitz for 700, but my partner doesn't want too much of my tax to go onto the car (bills etc), if i can find a FMIC between 400-600 i may look into getting that and then saving for a elec boost controller at the end of the year.

@ the ideas

Ill start having a look at things we could do as a group, try get into a monthly cruise/meet up (someones place?) have a few drinks etc. If we can get this happening every month would be nice.

Then possibly something every quater of the year? My partner is interested in the drives, she just said she would feel a bit weird with a bunch of guys every weds talking about stuff she doesn't understand :P (i have explained a bit)

Joke of the week - SPAR in morayfield, (cant recall road, but off graham) A girl there was saying she knew her skylines pretty good, and was telling everyone in the store that my R33 is really a R34. My partner didn't say anything /doh. So maybe we should swap cars clint? im keen!

either or is good for me too.

Got the go ahead today for some coilovers!!! need to go for a run in your car clint to see how the V1's are. but from what ive read so far they are a good bit of kit, esp for the price.

Hoping to have it all sorted for happy laps in 2 weeks time!!

I so want to do SOMETHING to my car before happy laps. Dont want to go there and have the exact same car lol.... but i dont think funds are going to allow :(

But i do know that brakes are needing to be done.... would like to stop at turn 1!

yeah stopping is always good. i had no drama with turn one...as i was being a little girly with my braking into it.

Turns out i got a 1-2 week wait on the coils......doubtful it will be sorted for then :(

Cheap coolers are a definite stay away from. If the money is spent in the right areas in the first place, then decent gains are easily achievable. There is nothing wrong with the good ol' turbosmart bleed valve. I'm running 1 on mine and don't have any issues with boost spike and run a constant 20psi, 425rwhp. Pete has somehow set it up to gradually feed as rpm increases. In my opinion there is really no need to have multiple boost settings as it can be all controlled by the right foot. The only thing that I'll be doing next, when I get a bit more HP, is get rid of the boost t and use a solenoid controlled by the wolf to have more control and stage the boost for drag use. If you use the computer to control the boost you get a nicer boost curve without massive spike like most EBC's do.

Hmm, guess i have alot to throw around to decide. Would the $700 blitz from justjap b what i am after then?

And with my front bar would i need to.cut it to fit the fmic?

Indian brothers weds night? Hopefully my cokd dissapates by 2morrow :/

Do it Joe you know you want to, As for mechanics depends on mods as to who is good for them.

i do want to, but i'm not aloud to drive (damn boys in blue), as for mods, i'm not after crazy stupid like 1000RWHP, but am wanting to get the engine rebuilt with good forged internals, better cams, bigger turbo/injectors, ECU, pumps upgraded (whatever is needed), and of cause the handiling side of things, like coilovers, sway bars strut braces (these things will be done first before any more power is put in), and of cause the the stopping mechanisms, i believe they begin with a B :P

so yeah one that i can take to do all these sorts of things

Washed my car, think i might go and have a sook.. My front bar is looking so sad, paint cracking and coming off. sigh! Need to order the paint and get it resprayed booyea

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
