Tough wheels!

I like'em.

Or just get Charles to vinyl wrap your spoiler :P

Don't think vinyl wrap in CF will look good on purple.

Sticker bomb would be though, just need to find some.

Still not sure about the Panasports though, just walked outside to get mail from the letterbox, watching the R thinking, man, 17s does look tiny!

I meant get Charles to vinyl wrap it in purple or try and match your colour as close as possible.

17" will look tiny on a R33 GTR, you need to go at least 18".

Jamie, if I'm going to wrap it, I'd rather to have it stand out. If I'm going to wrap it in purple, I may as well paint the whole spoiler.

Yeah, for me to go 18s I'd have to grab a softer set coilovers than what I've got in mine atm, and grab swaybars - more money down in the drain...

600x600..

What happened to eastside imports club or whatever it was called..?

Ask Jezza Boi as he started that.

I think they are still around, but Vic Imports Clubs was the branch off club from SEI, which is growing quiet big.

True, sticker it up yo!

Haha!

you'll get there.

I'm in 2 minds about it, the coilovers I've got in makes the R handles really amazing (don't have any other form of handling bits) but it is way too harsh for street driving, one uneven surface, my driving position changed that instant - which isn't good should I want to make the R faster...

Atm, looking for softer coilovers, so far seen Tein Driving Master - need to do research whether how stiff it is.

Hey, not sure if this much will cover the area I want, where did you buy them from?

Harsh ride? Time to man up

I don't mind it actually, but I'm not sure if I wanna wreck wheels this rare though.

Yes, I'm a girl now, deal with it.

I don't disagree with what Alex is saying about lock in times, it's a legitimate reason for some people not entering. I don't mind staying the whole day, I can always leave my car there and go do something else...doesn't suit everyone though.

I just want to say one last "tl;dr" passage, that committee do take suggestions on board...it's stupid not to listen to your own members. But most of the time, the issue being raised is one that's already been discussed by us (~10 people). A decision has to be made, and sometimes we end up divided over it. Anyone can spot problems, coming up with an actual solution to keep everyone happy is another thing. If you've got a solution, send it through...I'm not being a smart ass...trust me, they will 100% welcome it if they can't fault it. That's all committee is, a bunch of fellow members critiquing items and throwing ideas/input at it until a majority agree on something...because 10 minds are better than 1.

Docklands only want us to move cars in and out during non peak times, being the start of the day and the end of the day. Which is a shame, because it is an awesome and central location. So then you change it to something like Caribbean Gardens, where you can drive in and out...suddenly you're snubbing the west siders who cbf driving an hour to the SnS, and I can't blame them for that.

Anyone want to help with / do a boot install for $$$?

No waiz.. what did you have back then?

Knew some people from Mccr, it's a shame they no longer exist. The club exec. was a dude with a black Mr2 and i believe he also had a powerful soarer

lol I was on my L plates when MCCR was around...only went to a couple of cruises, hung around the forums a bit.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
