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 ^_^

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
