Edifier's R34 GT-R VS2 is fine. Small leak at offside front > needs attention - that's all.

Will have it check out first thing tomorrow morning, water temp was ok on my way home. And huge thanks to Terry for escorting me back to Sydney. ;)

Large hail forecast for the Hunter.

Newie ppl under cover!

Sydney ppl are outta there right?

Was lucky to completely avoid the hail - took M1 home and stuck in a huge jam about 5k away from Pacific Highway exit. Turned out that trees fell on M1 due to storm so took some time to clear things out. Killara/Lindfiend area looked like they were hit by a typhoon/cyclone, water and leaves everywhere on the road.

Great drive today, really enjoyed it! Already looking forward to the next cruise.

Home.

Hail came through Syd while I was still on the f3.

Sad to hear about The BB 34 not making it Terry. Good on you for helping out *pat on back*

My back is killing me!

I'm not really that nice a person.

I'd do the same for an enemy.

Gotta know what address I send the bell housing. :P

We left the pub pretty early cos me and the mrs were buggered and we drove through that cyclone. Holy crap. Heaviest rain I've ever been through but thankfully no hail.

Thanks for organising guys

Thanks for organising and for everyone coming along. It was a really nice drive!

Managed to catch the storm coming back to Sydney and I couldn't see anything in front of me. It was pretty much just a giant blur of grey haha.

Was a great event. Bernie and me missed the storm completely. Was lucky.

Got stuck in the jam on the M1 before the Wahroonga turn off for a bit. Other than that all clear.

Hailed in Hornsby but we missed it all.

Same here... Started storming as soon as I got home though, but only for 5 minutes.

Really fun day and perfect introduction into the SAU Sydney scene... definitely what I needed to appreciate my Skyline and hang onto it!

Thanks for organising!

Yes great weather on the way up but terrible traffic and weather on the way back, at least I had a 32 to cruise back with Mark, not sure what your forum name is.

Great day though, will post some pics when there's a wrap up thread.

Great day. Nice to meet some of you. Sorry to hear about the traffic and weather for some on the way back down south. Good turnout and hats off to the royal hotel for getting the meals out in good time considering the number of orders they had. Look forward to seeing some pics and to the next event.

Good cruise!!! Plenty of nice cars to look at. Snapped some photos so will upload a few tomorrow night.

Went back to Sydney via the Putty with Mick which seemed like a good idea at the time. The rain ended up pelting down....plus plenty of tree branches & debris on the road etc. Pretty treacherous conditions, especially with well-worn AD08's...but was still good fun lol.

Also...on the putty a bloke with a horse float almost lost it around a right hander.... and on the m4 there was a Chrysler stuck in the flooded right lane as well as a Toyota with its front end smashed in.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
