miss33, got your gtr complied and on the road yet? i remember you talking bout it a while back.

Yep got it complied and on the road pretty much straight away, drove it around for a few months and just traded it on a 33 GTR.

And Tim, I'll wave next time, I promise! :D

when my mate had e-manage it fitted he said that the bloke

from turbo tune said, "i dont know these that well"

he seemed to know it alot better than the others i think he has done a few recently. Hi tech dyno couldnt even get my greddy ebc to hold boost properly let alone fit the emanage properly, but in saying that we will see how my car goes at turbo tune first. Its looking promising though as mike pulled more power out of it than the others did at only 10psi too.

bit late, but late last thursday arvo about 5.30, had a black r32 gtr blitz it hard past me when i was heading into the hills around lenswood or somewhere like that. i was stuck behind 2 other cars and wasnt game enough to pass, but the gtr driver was a madman and passed all 3 cars on like tight blind corners! was even able to give me a honk as he went past!!! sounded wild and definitely had some serious balls!

if you're on here dude, i was the one in the blue/green 33 gtst driving like a grandma lol!

also passed a nice white r33 on the sturt highway in between sheaoak log and gawler on xmas day, gave him a wave, dunno if he saw tho...

This is a very late response I know, but Hi Beno33, yes that was me going for a blap in the hills. It was Lobethal Rd and they weren’t blind corners per se. I’ve been driving that road for almost 20 years and there are many sections where it’s safe to pass as it’s possible to look up the road (its up hill) past the corner to check for traffic. Not the best time to be driving that road anyway, with to many commuters heading back home. However, nice to see another line out there giving it a go... :(

GTR’s running stock boost by the way and my 1.8na 1600 is just as quick on that piece of road…Crazy Datsuns!!! :(

Edited by ADM

haha hey ADM, yeah just looked fast, prob cos i drive so slow! but nah, was tempted to try follow ya but that was the first time id travelled in that direction on that road before so not really familiar with it! was good fun anyway!

have a good one man and hope to catchya round on the road soon,

It was deleted for a very good reason nitwit.

Talk like that is most welcome on NissanSilvia.com or other 'scooter' sites, but not on here.

Speeding and talking about dangerous driving is not for SAU.

Redgtst, I deleted it... :)

You are not allowed to discuss illegal activities. Simple as that.

I'll let it go as you obviously don't realise, it should attract a warning if not temporary suspension.

We all bugger up from time to time. I'm not innocent either. :)

Please think carefully before you post.

HR-32,

I am 99% sure I have seen you down the Moana area on a few occasions. No doubt you would have seen me..

Mines a dead stock looking black R32, tinted windows, hidden bar/plate fmic behind the front bumper. Its been pretty dirty the last few weeks as I've been slack washing it. :)

I saw secret on tap's road around 3:10pm just north of the road works.

yeah I cruise up there sometimes (gotta love the espi cruise!) no doubt I have seen you there too. Next time will have to pull up and have a chat! :)

66 Skyline GT,

I've seen yours but some time ago, before you were on this board or before I knew of you being on this board. :)

I wouldn't miss the GT, awesome looking car, I remember my old man pointing one out to me when I was around 16, he said.. THose things in their day went like a shower of sh*t. Sure enough he took off sideways through first and second (out of a right hand corner) looked like it went hard anway. :)

Where you took those pics.. I've seen some dude watching as I took off from the lights heading south. I thought it may have been you. :P

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
