Thanks all for the awesome day! :) Glad I didn't end up getting lost :P

Good to meet people.

Loving the pics!

and yeah, keen for the next one :)

The guys with gopros (or similar) get any decent videos? some aaarrbbee noise? :)

I got a little bit of crappy in cabin footage but not alot of outside noise, mostly rattles and bumps. :/

Didn't get the whole cruise (unfortunately.) I forgot to set it up properly and actually set up the cam as we were driving. :wacko:

Yeah i don't think it came out that great. Lots of wind noise and besides that he said it just looks like a Golf going for a drive haha. Was the first time using it so i think he'll get it more finely tuned before something a bit more exciting like texi or wakie.

Yeah I always thought that would be an issue with external cameras. Might be worth getting a sound recorder aswell and mounting that somewhere else.. Might have a little better audio quality?

Hahaha, yeah most of mine looks like I was going for a drive behind a Golf, and then a Silver R33. Still kinda cool though.

and yeah, need to refine techniques. Might try a mini disc recorder for sound.

Hey! Nothing wrong with that silver r33 :P

Yeah disk recorder would work well I think.

I think this would be a good position for a recorder, but maybe tilt it up more..

Pretty much lol. If we pooled all the footage from different cameras you might be able to do a neat montage but as Shell said, mine looked like a Golf-driving-blonde that got caught up with some riff raff :P

So, I was asked by quite a few people if my car was a "J Car" No idea what that means.

Many years ago there was a guy named Jerry who owned a shop called J-Racing. Jerry had a brother named Johnny who also worked at J-Racing, whom originally owned a pretty cool looking Honda Civic. Johnny got rid of the Honda and started being spotted in a bright orange R33, which became known as the "J-Racing Skyline".

Johnny moved to Sydney and worked for Jetspeed, whom J-Racing got a lot of stock from.

Hence the questions about "is that the old J-Racing Skyline"? If it was the Jetspeed car then it is indeed the J-Racing Skyline.

Nothing bad, just some nostalgia for us older members from "back in the days". Good to see it back in the hands of a respectful owner :)

Edit: and it seems J-Racing still exist purely as a smash repairer and bodykit shop in Fyshwick.

Arhh, some light shredded ! Now I got the correct story of the car(:

Cheers ! Oldm8 Helga (Named already haha) has shown a different side to her at the cruise. I'm tempted to fix the rail damage and do it up, time and costs are involved. But, we'll see how we go.

(Might take it to Fyshwick smash repairs and see if they'll give me a friendly discount given it was their old car :D)

I accidentally deleted my footage from the weekend. That would have been exciting to watch haha.

Also, if you have a GoPro's on the outside of a car, we normally put tissues or foam to over the mics in the housing.

I have video footage... but im not very good at internet or computers.

If you want i can email to you

OR

someone tell me how to upload it to sau- SIMPLE instructions for a simpleton pls

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
