At least it isn't a skyline with a commodore engine. :P

shh he has alerts set up for key phrases, I really do want to see his car though and see how it looks and goes.

I used to like the maxima's but I just can't dig them now, everyone has their own style though.

People would cry if they were beaten by a maxima.

210 is respectable alright, even more so when it comes from something so unassuming as a maxima.

I am looking forward to being able to get back into the swing of things with the club. Between work, building and finishing a house, and medical crap my car was just left in the shed for months.

Now it is tuned and ready for fun, I get to take it for a good long test drive on Friday and see what she can really do.

Ah well that's just cheating.

Are there going to be any events held northside (Moreton Bay area) other than lakeside this year? Maybe like a Redcliffe beach day or something.

We did a cruise just a few weeks ago northside, which ended at the beach :)

Driving bonnetless was interesting. I've done it many a time in my Beetle during testing and tuning etc, but that just doesn't have the same effect. Being able to watch the top of your engine while driving is pretty impressive :)

Twas however a very short drive in the early hours of the morning. So popo or any issues were not expected.

Bonnet is now in paint and ready for Vinyl. Fingers crossed I get it done before the weekend....or its dyno day with dull gray instead of brushed steel bonnet.

Yes I do, I see all...

Also now that I can downshift with the new stall and my battery stays in I reckon I'd chop you round a track :P

Yeah I don't know about that one, I haven't been on a track since Feb last year but even when I had 300hp I could cut round QR's Clubman pretty quick.

Race for pinkss

I was talking to tony and his overgrown micra. Not you and your real skyline lol

That would be an interesting race actually, I would need beer and a grandstand to watch from.

If I only had to do one lap it wouldn't be a race... (Problem is after 3-4 my brakes go bye bye)

Come at me, bro

:devil:

No no no no no, I'm not getting caught up with all you track hack wanna be stig senna jerk offs.

"Look at me I can corner really fast :woot:"

..... Sorry Martin its still early and cold, I need a snickers :wub:

    • Hey guys, Just want some advice on r34 GTT ac system. Since I’ve owned it, the ac compressor, doesn’t matter the set temperature or ambient temperature, runs for around 10 seconds then disengages the clutch, then re-engages everywhere 30 seconds or so and keeps repeating this.    is this normal?   I had it recharged today as it was slightly low and thought it would fix it but still does it. it cools fine in summer even prior to the recharge, except for the usual warmup when stopped or in traffic (still yet to wire overheat fan to on with ac)   any thoughts would be much appreciated 
    • To plug the hole. The engine plant may not have known whether the car it was going into had a gauge or not. It was a long time ago and the integrations might not have been fully modern. Or they might not have cared because the extra inventory and processes to save a few cents on the sender might have cost more anyway. But please tell me you are not still confusing the idea of a pressure gauge sender, and an oil pressure light switch. The switch will be out there. In a separate hole. Probably with only one wire running to it. Running the light.
    • Blower needs to go low on the exhaust side, displacing the AC and PS, which you have to decide whether you want to keep and how and where to relocate if you do. Electric option for PS is, at least, helpful. Sadly, there is no workable 12V electric AC of any value. Whilst the blower is the last compression step before the throttle, and so it might seem a good idea to have it near the inlet manifold (as mentioned above), you probably want it to go through an intercooler first, so, having it on the opposite side of the car facilitates that air flow path. The turbo discharges into the blower, so proximity of the turbo's compressor outlet to the blower's inlet is nice. But then you might want to intercool that too, before boosting it again....which would probably be a ball ache. Routing pipes out to the front and back could be a bit shit. If there was room for (at least) a small (but preferably larger) water to air core on that side, then that would probably be the best approach. I guess a reasonable alternative would be to locate the blower where the alternator is (more or less, associated with the inlet manifold, per Matt's thought), and somehow incorporate a water to air core into the manifold, sort of like they do for modern blown V8s. The big difference here though is that those V8s have only the one throttle (upstream the blower) and only the one compression step (the blower) and no need for too much in the way of bypass/blowoff valves. Whereas in a twin charged 6, you do need to think about one or two bypass valves associated with the 2 compressors and you would prefer to have the intercooling done before the air has to pass through the throttle. You'd like the throttle to work approx the same no matter what the compression is doing. But if it is located in hot air stream before a cooler, then sometimes the air will be real hot, sometimes it will be quite cool, and the throttle mapping/response will be quite different between those two cases. The throttle, if sized for hot air, would be too large for cold conditions. It's all a ball ache.
    • Package SC on exhaust side. Remote mount turbo. Still a fair bit of room when you get creative on the inlet side of the motor too. Especially if you can get really creative with the welding, and effectively build it into the bottom of the inlet manifold. Would definitely take some design work, and some trial and error, to make sure flow works well still! Might be easier to just start with the Nissan March though... All the work is already done for you...
