Cold air and turbo good!

Raining dirt, bloody annoying!

I am new to the world of Skylines, just got my R33 Gts-t this week infact.

Mines silver with the gunmetal grey at the bottom.

Going to Tempe after new years to get some 18s. Till then it's the stockie rims!

I love this site, it's great to be able to get so much info and help at the press of a key!

Cheers guys!

hi guys & girls.

i own a red r32 gtr with too many mods to list here daniel or s13drifter has seen it.

i'm in q.b.n. and am furious i missed the cruise u guys had a few weeks ago, at moment just waiting for car to be completed so i can finally drive it after 6 months off the road.

i've seen heaps of gtst's in canberra driving around and it'll be good to see them all together driving around.

anyway car hopefully be finished in early february so i should be out and about with it then.:):D

Ok well I got my 18s before New Years so I had 'em for da 'nats cruise! Huge deep dish shadow chrome jobs, which so look the part. Now I am saving to get a 3" exahust turbo back, a pod air filter, a big front mount intercooler and a boost controler. Then we'll go up to 10 to 12 psi (damn ceramic turbo). Then no doubt I'll fry that turbo and get a big mother.... ohh I wish! :P

I also ordered the plates YGT25T yesterday. I was surprised no one already had 'em! $412 on plastic plates 'cause they are an out of series Y plate. $1300 or something like that without the Y 'cause GT isn't my initials!:D

Hi all,

Have been reading thru SAU stuff for a while now, so I thought I might start posting something.

Joined a car club recently..Elitesport. It has a few skyline owners in it.

Located in Torrrens and work in Erindale. White R33 Gts25t, with white 17s. Oh yeh with Elitesport sticker on front window.

Hope to meet up with more skyline fanatics.

Have fun

Oz.

G'day Oz,

Welcome to da family :D

How's things?

I think I've seen your car parked up at Erindale a few times. The last time I saw it it didn't have any number plates !!

Nice car.

Thx Jay for the welcome.

Till today it had QLD No. plates on it. Just got the ACT ones.

I was at the ACT shop front at Tugg. and took the plates off to swap them over.

May need to use your services soon, I did a self patch up job on the handbreak leather bit. Don't look too professional.

I've seen a pic you posted of your car (Silver with FMIC), but have not spotted it on the road yet.

One day :D

Oz.

Cool,

LOL - I remember the first time I saw your car when I was going into the car park - I almost had a head on with someone cause I was thinking to myself "nice skyline"... LOL

No worries about the handbrake doova's. Drop me a PM if you need a hand.

Yeah I used to have a Swift GTi with NSW Raven plates. I had it for about 4 years (1993-97) and it had an awesome system in it.

Competed in a few sound offs and it did pretty well.

I am curious? do you remember that car? Did you see it somewhere?You sure have a good memory.

I still have the plates and they are now on my MY00 Black Rex. They were originally on a black 350 Chev powered SLR5000 which I entered in the 1991 Summernats.

cheers

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
