we went back for the Tune&race last Sat, Only got 2 runs each. God!!

Nizman...... Go to Willowbank....look for something small and yellow

doing 6sec runs hehehe thanks Rod

If anyone is interested in discussing Skylines applied to drag racing

please start a thread I'd love to join in.

Interesting point especially for those programming G meters etc.

On the weigh bridge at dragcombat scrutineering, the Skyline + Mick

and me and 1/2 tank fuel weighed in at 3440lbs thats 1563.6Kg so if

you'r punching in the Nissan figure of 1380Kg you'r output is going to be

way off..... perhaps one reason for the oft stated inaccuracy of these

devices, another being the wheel diam figure.

Rod.... Yepoon??? bin ther dun that :)

...To the wankers who posted on a recent SDU thread regarding over 50's

drivers, I see more dangerous young drivers than old, especially when

it's raining. :)[/quote:ef350ac75a]

i posted saying there are bad older drivers out there, like, its the same case for older drivers and younger drives ( good ones)...

its the majority of bad ones that give us a bad rep...

this is not an attack on you driving, and i do know there are very good older drivers out there, but there are also some good young drivers aswell..

My name is Mark.

Im 26.

I own 2 cars now

A SEAT Cordoba with a monsta sound system.

And I just purchased an R33 Gts-T

because I couldn't find a series 6 RX7 with a back seat.

I live in Brisbane and am interested in car audio.

I would love to meet up for a cruise now and then.

Fours and rotaries really got me going until I drove a Skyline.

I bought the first one I drove, that very day.

Only two things anoy me.

1 V8 drivers who think they are the next friggin Peter Brock in their slow as shit holdens/falcons.

2 Lowlife scum who can't even afford a holden/falcon who have to come and steal/damage parts of your car for some stupid reason.

Feel free to contact me regarding anything car related, or U2 related.

Im a pretty big U2 fan

Mark

Hey All,

I'm Luke. My skyline is:

Wine Red '94 R33 GTST

Zorst,

18" Chromies,

Front spoiler (rest of the bodykit is coming when I save some damn money).

I work in the city for an IT company, so my car is generally around the city a lot. Other than that, I live around the Springwood area.

Oh and U2 rock!

Anyways,

Eek

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

Saturday 30th August 2025 7:00AM Meeting Hanna Park North Richmond 7:30AM Departure Cruise Via Bells of Line Road 9:00AM Arrival to Stop 1: Golden Poplars Meadow Flat 9:45AM Arrival to Final Destination: Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit Meet Location: Hanna Park North Richmond Stop 1: Golden Poplars Meadow Flat Final Destination: Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit   *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
