Your spaced out :P

When my car is going I'll organise a cruise... Once Jarrad has moved and all the motorsport events are done (pretty much all of August) I'll

Organise a BBQ meet up too, just for something different, try keep the Newy scene kicking :D

Oh, and we have a new skyline and member coming next week, Jack my next door neighbour loved my beast and has gone down to Nowra to pick up a 32gtst.... Good times ahead!!

Awesome shot mate!! It's a good location with potential... Just was the car after being near sand and salt etc ;)

Cheers mate... Yea she is probably due for a wash. Do you think it actually hurts the car that much driving it near the ocean etc?

Unless it was parked there regularily I wouldnt think so, but I'd hose the car anyway to be cautious...

Yea makes sense.. Will give it a wash through the week if there is some decent weather.. Need to clean up the inside abit also..

Hey Guys, I finally got that disc replaced from our Meet Up and posted the last of the pictures -

I know a few wanted copies so ill make some soon ;)

Anthony, definatly a great location for a group of cars pics!!

Yeah its a good spot... Should be able to get a location on the grass to get all of Newy in the backdrop? Not sure if we would need to run it by the council first though?

Yea i was thinking of getting some with newy in the back ground, i think there are plenty of spots for us to go etc.. but yea, nobbys in the backgorund works well. took some shots from the boat ramp facing towards korangang, showing the real newcastle ha... but they all turned out bad due to wrong settings on the camera unfortunately....

Yeah I've got a bit on too but may organise a meet for the guys anyway... We have a few new cars joining us on the next one :yes:

Waiting in coilovers and a few other bits mate :/ but found them cheap so it's worth the extra week wait

What coilovers did you end up getting Matt?

    • Yeah, hard to find and a pain in the ass to change with the transverse engine. I’ve worked on a GTiR before and it’s not a job I’d ever want to do again. theres a company in South Africa that makes RS3 gearbox adaptors for the AWD SR20 including gearbox mounts, so I could modernise it and go a dual clutch with paddles. For now tho, it ticks all the boxes. Super cheap, can throw the kids and their junk in the back, and SR20 that I can turbo cheaply, a CVT that’s not a dog’s breakfast like the V35, and has 80% interchangeable parts with stuff I can source from the wreckers cheaply…. But it’s still unique. I love the wagon back of the Autech version. It’s cheap enough that I can buy another stock manual FWD Primera with SR20VE, swap the gearbox to the N15 pulsar short gear ratio box, swap out the brakes to the R32 ones I pulled off my 32, register it on club plates and take it racing. $1300 shipping from NZ. Heaps of parts and aftermarket builders for transverse SR20’s in NZ.
    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
