Hi guys,

I've been meaning to ask whether some of you Melbourne guys get together every now and then to have a coffee, grab a bite, wash your cars, hold hands and what not.

Reason I ask is because I'm in the market for an R32 GTR and would just really like to see more examples and learn more about this particular car, learn more about it before

I lay down some hard earned cash and of course I'm keen to meet all other skylines and their owners.

I've sat passenger seat in a couple of R33 GTS-T's, an R34 GT-T and drove a 96 Type X. It's safe to say that I have officially caught the Nissan bug.

However, I am yet to experience what a GTR feels like.

Hopefully this will allow me to know more of you guys in the skyline community and soon be part of it.

Kindest regards

Michael

Well, I see you're in SE suburbs. I'm in Northern suburbs and I'm sure there's a mix of other suburbs where people are from.

I'll gladly organise a coffee night or car wash night for those who are keen, perhaps somewhere like apple peel car wash or

doncaster PP or garage cafe etc. And plus side is, you guys can check out my grocery getter too?

I'm assuming you guys don't see too many civic's around at nissan meets :P

Unless the Mohsen you knew was gay, it wont be the same Mohsen.

Anyway it's the middle of winter - the events section is pretty quiet :)

Usually there are car wash meets and similar going on every few weeks.

That said trackdays are still going so that would be a good place as well if you rug up.

haha, he had an afro, don't know if that is any indication of which way he swings.

i'll try and keep an eye out for one of these car wash meets. i'll agree with what you said regarding the events section; it's borderline ghost town!

track days would be great, but it means i'd have to get days off work which can be a bit of a PITA (work requires me to apply one month in advance for

annual leave...:angry:) SAUNATS does look really tempting though.

I've been to one winton track day back when my civic was almost stock bar the engine swap, a straight pipe and coilovers. Did a 1:49 on the full layout.

Have been itching to go back and recently missed one, because I've been saving religiously for the GTR. I'm intending to attend wayyy more track days with the R.

Reckon it's an easy task for a stock R to pull a low 1:4x at winton on street tyres for someone who's going out for their second time?

I'd like to believe that I can still remember the track ^_^

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
