umm Malcolm has been a regular, active and long term member of the club. I'm sure if he is not currently a member it is because he is not aware his membership has expired ;)

... hi duncan ... hope youre well mate looking forward to catching up ... yep spot on been around 'bout 8 years & counting ... yes I'm sure you're right I will need to reestablish my membership it's probably just recently relapsed ... do i contact treasurer michelle or is there bank details i can transfer to ? ... i can do that today no probs ... I'm really looking forward to a drive with other members - cant wait ! ... seems I'm always working on the weekends they're on but I'm determined to finally come on one ... im re rego'ing the car this week & was shocked to see that it had done driven less than 350klms in the last 12 months ... & 100 of that would have been driving to & from oil changes that i do twice a year ... as I sais it's time for a cruise ... catch ya soon ... cheers malcolm ... :) ...

I do know that but Malcolm should be aware of that as well :P

... hi corrine ... i thought youd forgotten me ... :( ... hihi only kidding :) ! ... youre also right i didn't know there was an event area that couldn't be viewed unless you're a member ... where is it ? ... looking forward to catching up ... cheers malcolm ... :) ...

The events calendar is up for our "Big" events next year (Check the 2010 events thread - updated in the first post).

Now that we have those locked in we'll be working on the social events to fill in on the less active months. So it will be updated by Jan. Dec is generally a very slow time since everyone is busy with their personal lives.

Keep an eye out for more social stuff happening soon. Or maybe take this opportunity to organise an "Unofficial" pizza cruise Malcolm. It's always good to see that sweet ride of your's!

(PS - just PM Shell to organise your membership renewal. We're working to get a better system up and running soon.)

Never Malcolm. Actually I was only just chatting about your car the other day with a mate at work :)

Organise one, Malcolm! I'm sure you know some nice roads, and it would be good to catch up, too.

:D

hi nick hope ya well ... it was actually me who sent some pics off to matt & duncan of Clarecetown as a cruise destination ... so it looks like its in the pipeline I was just wondering if it's been locked in yet ... I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone as its been quite a while ... hope to see you soon mate ... cheers malcolm ... :) ...

Actually we were just discussing how it was a really nice example of a R33 :)

Ive just back from a nice little drive to Batemans Bays and back today, long way there and short way home, bloody cold on the top of the range, thought my car was broked for a minute, I looked down at my temp gauge and it was hardly registering, going down the mountain doing 100 kph at 5 deg outside temp will do that, traffic wasnt bad either, a little bit of it on the way down but it was cold and wet and I was driving in the clouds, awesome, but coming back up through the twities was great, only traffic I hit was just prior to a overtaking lane.

One bad point was a couple of idiot drivers using the whole road, i.e crossing double lines on bends, and not just a little bit either, one guy was a half way over the other side of the road on every corner when I came up behind him, he was crap, I blew by him on a straight and left him to cause accidents without me around to witness the mess.

Found a nice place to stay for a few days in early Jan too, I was lucky because everywhere else was booked out, 2 bd rm apartment for $190 a night, bargain.

Thinking of doing the Snowy Mountains again sometime over the next month too, 2 day trip, will be fun.

I went down to adaminaby and cooma the other day. Took the dirt track on the way there lol

It is a good run but too many idiot farmers in beat up utes doing 75 in single lane sections and 130 in the overtaking sections

    • Just a thought, how come you didn't use a 4D table? So you essentially run 2x fuel and 2x ignition tables, and the table/map switch is handled when there's enough WMI pressure detected. This is mine, but using the flex sensor as the 4th dimension, note the slider at the bottom. Between 0 to 70%, the timing is blended/interpolated , once it goes past 70% ethanol full send
    • Hi guys, after dreaming of owning a JDM legend for 20 years, I got the chance to buy a 1995 R33 GTR.  I live in a small country called the Solomon Islands which is in the pacific. There is no performance car scene here, however 90% of vehicles here are 2nd hand Japanese imports so there is a handful of JDM sports cars here, tucked away.  3 Evo VI’s, 1 180sx turbo, 2 GTO’s, 1 R32 GTR and 2 R33 GTR’s.    Only 1 Evo and a 33 (mine) are active. I’m hoping to set up a club to get these cars back in the road.    I’d known of my GTR for 9 years and always dreamed of owning it. At the start of this year I found it sitting outside a workshop waiting for a respray. It was in pretty bad shape, although running and driving perfectly apart from a big exhaust leak and worn out bushings. My brother in law who is a huge GTR guy came over for a holiday and I took him to see it, he got into my ear and I bought the car 2 weeks later as is.   I’ve had a pretty bad problem with alcohol and weed since 2020 and I really wanted to quit. So I used this as my motivation. I quit everything cold turkey and have been investing all my spare time into restoring this car. It’s honestly been the best experience and has been such a positive impact on my life.  There is no market for these cars here, no parts and no mechanics that can work on them, so if you wanted to sell one it would be pretty impossible unless you found the right buyer. After a bit of negotiating with the previous owner (a good friend) I got the car for $15,000 AUD ($85,000 SBD) which is insane.  I’ve almost finished doing a refresh on the engine, new turbos, spark plugs and split fire coil packs. Also new gaskets and seals, This car had no leaks to begin with, but it’s due now being 30 years old. . Next I’ll be working on the suspension, all new bushings, ball joints, king pins and new coil overs.  Then it will be body work, it has really bad rust in the boot floor, I have purchased a rear beaver cut from my bro which will replace the rusted out one. The car is originally KL0, but was burnt orange when it landed here, then it was resprayed toxic green and then Bayside Blue. I’m probably going to get it redone in Bayside Blue.  I’m super grateful to be able to enjoy this car and couldn’t have done it without my bro Chris from OG-JDM. Looking forward to the future with this car and hoping to get it on the runway at the airport here 😂  cheers fellas 
    • Also, it is just about triangularity. The less angle, the easier it physically is to do. Think of the amount of slip you're getting, as how hard you need to push an object. More slip, equals pushing way harder. Then the ramp is how steep the hill is. The Accel is less slip, which means it takes less pushing (less slip) to get it to be able to push apart. However, the steeper sides on the decell means it will take a lot more pushing (slip) to get it up the ramp.
    • It's the angle of the ramp from the vertical. You're measuring from the horizontal. To convert, take 90* minus your angle reference = Nismo Angle.
    • I agree, thus 45 degree is the *max* force one could apply to it. This is similar to what I've seen in uh... simulations... which allow you to play with diff ramp angles. Anything higher (or lower) than 45 degree would produce less force as 45 is the max... triangley.  I would state the 1 way is 90 degree, at least this is how my brain and other ways of explaining it refer to it. 90 degree also effectively acted completely open. I realise Nismo refer to it not as 90 (or 89) but "1". So I'm not understanding the angle on which these angles are based.
