Hey guys,

I've recently moved across to Melbourne from Perth and I was wondering if there is a R34 GTR club in Melbourne on facebook or on here that I could contact other members on.

I've noticed quite a few more imports over this way and I've also been made aware of how strict this place is so I've got a few questions to ask if anyone has the time to help out.

I know Racepace is meant to be one of the best skyline specialists for mods / repairs ect unless there's someone better out there that I am not aware of....

Also I've noticed car theft is HUGE here so aside from a car alarm, does anyone else have a GPS tracker in their cars?

Any info would be great!

Cheers all,

Ben

There is a Skylines scene, not sure where you could possibly go to get details however.....

As for theft, where do you live? Some areas are bad for it, some areas it's non-existent.

The best protection against car theft is a good insurance policy. If a tea leaf wants your car bad enough, ain't nothing you are going to be able to do to stop him from taking it.

Oh, and welcome to Melbourne. Be sure to leave your west side shoulder chip at the door ;)

Hi Ben,

My partner just made that move with her Skyline and knows how you feel :)

I have a GPS tracker in my car but I concur with the above, if some flog wants your stuff you can't do shit about it...get a good insurance policy and the rest is auxillary protection. Cars are getting stolen from locked up basement carparks these days and towed away with flat beds. It's sad but that's the world we live in. Some 34 owners even enlist the help of security guards ;)

Keep an eye on events section and check out SAU Vic, the paid membership club, as they do some motorsport and social events you might like.

Not sure about 34R specific clubs but could be one around, heavily guarded of course.

Cheers for the info guys. I don't carry the WA chip your referring to so that's fine. There are a few pros and cons in both states so I'm taking the good with the bad.

My car has a car alarm and gps tracker and insured through just car with an agreed value so if someone takes it then so be it. It's shit that there are people here that want to steal peoples pride and joy however it's like that anywhere you go.

As far as the club thing goes I am still apart of an R34 gtr club and the people there were great. Most are in the SAU community which was why i asked the question about a similar group in Vic.

    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
