How much does a tune usually cost? I have a friend who gets his R33 and evo tuned tuned by his friend, evo tuned to e85 aswell but wondering the downsides/risks of road tune vs workshop tune? I mean if this guy trusts his car with him he must be alright?

off topic what do I need to run e85?

Northcote and generally drop by monthly meets. Don't stress about track days, some minor things already discussed. Your first few times are more about getting you sorted than worrying about the car. I had full length cotton clothing helmet, extinguisher and borrowed some blue duct tape. Once hooked you'll have plenty of ideas on how to blow money.

Just bought a GS342 for the 33, mechanic calls today and there's a pump in there flowing basically double what the 342 would.

Y I always get dicked.

What are the specs on the pump I might be interested in buying, thinking of going over to E85.

I used to live just off Greythorn Rd... Now living in Footscray, but regularly back in the 3-1-0-4!

Cool might see you around.

I was asking more what do I need to do for my car not to fail on the track, for example I have been told that street brake pads will only last 2 laps and then be basically useless. Engine oil cooling was another. Do you guys get this or have prepared for that somehow?

I'm in Balwyn. Seen a black r33 with black recaros a couple of times on Whitehorse/balwyn roads. Was that you?

This is mine but diff driver and rims than that pic. Same rego.

Might wanna change to return type cooler piping, a hole cut for piping is a big no no on a series 2.

Nice car though :yes:

very clean car you got there mate.

If there are any meets/gatherings in balwyn or surrounding suburbs, let us know. keen to meet up.

Keen for that, haven't met anyone in the car scene since I got her so far.

Yeh I only figured that out after I had given deposit and signed contract to purchase. It's on the list of things to do but not at the top.

Should do an eastern suburbs meet, Balwyn and surrounding suburbs!

Out of curiosity, with a non return flow can the car technically ever be returned to RW condition? Or if you got dicked would you have to gain a engineers cert?

I bought it with rego and to buy with rego you must provide a RWC as part of the sale, so yes it was deemed roadworthy condition.

Defs keen for any kind of meet.

In other news... got my first EPA letter... damn that was fast. FML

Exhaust noise. Now to figure out what to do about this.

"Either excessively noisy or to have had a faulty exhaust system"

My car is noisy but nowhere neat the volume of a Harley davidson for example. Seems like my first dose of police targeting Skyline drivers.

Edited by jukic.j

That sucks, do you have the standard exhaust still? Makes me a bit nervous, just replaced the exhaust with a straight through pipe from the cat back and mine is VERY loud. Police presence isn't to bad around our area though, apart from the odd HP down Burke road (and It's not driven a lot on weekdays).

But yeah, there's a major police presence at the moment this year. Hopefully you can get it cleared up ASAP mate.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
