Did anyone here go on the Boostcruising Skyline Cruise in January???


Recommended Posts

Hi peeps,

Just wondering if any of you went on the Boostcruising Skyine Cruise back in January?? Just wondering coz I have a little article on page 8 of the latest issue of Qld Street Car and theres a few of my photos on there. A purple 33 GTR if anyone on here owns that... Have a look if you're wandering thru a newsagents!!!

Cheers

Yeah, not a fan of people who put GTR badges on Gtsts.... there is no difference between doing that, and the people who put 'type r' bages/stickers on thier hondas, or 'm3' badges on thier 318is...

a guy at work saw my car and was like yeah i used to have one, he told me it was a gtst but it went as hard as a gtr etc.. etc.. he sent me photos, there was a GTR badge on it and he said 'mate it went as hard as a gtr so its allowed to have that badge' ... next time i saw him he was with a mate and i asked him how the fake gtr was and his mate was like 'so it wasn't even a gtr you said it was' haha

Haha... He's spent a lot of money on that and good on him, but wouldn't it have been cheaper to buy the GTR in the first place?

If he just took the easy way out of just gettin a GTR, it wouldnt be as satisfying as doing up a GTST to have ~ the same amount of balls as a GTR. :/

Lemme get this straight:

Its better to buy a GTST and spend a bucket load of cash "doing it up" to make it look like and put out as much power as a GTR..... Instead of buying a GTR (which looks like and puts out as much power as a GTR).... ?

I must admit I'd prefer the second option. If only for the RB26, twin turbo, AWD.... etc :D Not to mention the price difference between a GTST and a GTR is less than what it would cost to make a GTST look and go like a GTR. Assuming you could launch as hard in 2WD.

be glad that hey at least try to hide it in aus

over here i was reading a car mag whic was compring 2 r34's one gt-t one gtr. sying the differences etc, it was quite apparent that the thing was 'sponsored' by an importing company. they failed to mention why both cars featured had GTR badges on them. it looked reeeeealy stupid, made the mag and importer look like a rice field. even if you didnt know anything about cars you could have put 2 and 2 together.

jap imports are not big here. i've seen as many ferrari's than skylines here.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
