Hi

I see in the thread somebody mention the Jerra Pub. Down there a bit myself. If you see a Silver GTR with a carbon fibre bonnett that will be me. Pull up a pew and we'll have a few. :D

I'm assuming you're the same Sinista that was parked at Wakefield Park last Sunday,yes?Nice ride!Are you a frequenter of Jerra',or do you live IN Jerra'?There's a growing number of 'Lines garaged in the suburb-it'd be nice to have one more!Skylinegal is at the pub quite a bit,but she may be there drowning her sorrows as she just blew her turbo up....

Back to the photoshoot thang:daylight savings as of tomorrow-more light=more time to press the shutter button.I'm still working on locations and timing,but I'm still "on it" to get photoshoot part II happening!

Hi there Sinista: hey i have seen your ride at the pub, I am quite a regular myself at the jerra, looove your gtr, i was at the pub for a while putting some bets on, and was fairly drunk trying to walk my dog home i walked past her!! i wanted to have a closer look but didnt want to look like too much of a dork!! hahaha(this was sat before the one just gone)

Hey

Yes Living in Jerra now.

- Unfortunately parked all day at wakefeild as my ride is new to me (ex-QLD) and I'd like a little time to get used to her b4 we go out on the track together.

Original Turbs Skylinegal? I did my ceramic in the R32 GTS-T I used to own (120K onthe clock), and then the fuel pump, then the ignition coils started to go and then finally the ignitor. She flew once fixed but then she had to go for my :P GTR. Not wishin bad luck on you but the mechs reckon thats the norm! Next time have a gawk and I'll know who you are LOL.

Dont get thrown by the name - not realy wicked, maybe a little - just sometimes. Really only when I get into my car LMAO (Adrenalin).

When is Photoshoot 2 going to happen? I'm keen to help.

We ought to have an Impromptu BBQ one W/E soon and then return to Jerra Guys. Almost start a whole new sub branch by the number of lines I see out this way.

GTG an pick up the Injectors now. Be back latta!

R

perfectly bad timing this sunday for me, i have an exam first thing monday morning that i'll be cramming for all weekend.

but on another note, what about black mountain peninsula?

Sounds good. I'll keep an eye on the forum to see what the go is.

I'm happy ATM. Finally arrived 700cc Sards, 80mm AFM's and a 2.5" into 3" front pipe - thanks to SIR32 in Qld, cheers buddy. Just got to save to get em in and tuned. ED???? :wavey:

Amaru - you might fill me in on the Tomei CAMS (it'll be 12 months b4 I can afford it but what the heck! dream now pay latter).

whoo hoo......picking up my girl from evo this arvo, turn out the turbo fan didnt like its position and decised to break loose and explore its surroundings. bottom line is that a new turbo has been installed (luckily still under warranty...phew) Jayce wasnt too far wrong about drowning my sorrows!! (well also the ute died and had to be towed also!! buggar! oh but she passed the cop check, RTA will issue a new chassis nbr)

photoshootII?? cant wait!

I'm 4th year, just about finished finally. i was the president of ANUESA this year also, but that's not really a glory job.

yeah i'm on the F-SAE car this year also, on the chassis group helping make the monocoque etc. we've almost finished the car, the comp is in less than a month. it's getting painted on monday.

if the 2002 car was a disaster, the 2003 car was a world wide catastrophe. they were still building it while they were driving to adelaide. i've driven the 2003 car, it's fast, but very uncomfortable. being 6'2 didn't help.

so much has gone wrong with the 2003 car since we've been driving it, i'm glad it wasn't on a track when those things broke (space frame welds breaking, caliper mounts breaking, stub axels breaking... the list goes on)

Scary - I did a Systems Engineering/IT double at ANU too. Finished last year.

Lots of people spent most of 2003 trying to fix the disaster that was the 2002 FSAE car :D

Hey, just remind me, did you guys finish higher than 7th? ;)

The key is to lose the monocoque, and it's possible now that robby has gone...

Anyone wondering what we're on about, we built one of these:

3209FSAE_ANU_2002.jpg

and we got to CNC things like this throttle and restrictor:

3209throttle.jpg

Has a Honda CBR600 in the rear, and drives like a rocket (if it doesn't break)

http://www.ticuna.com.au

it would if that car hadn't been butchered for the 2003 car.

this years car is a completely new design with all new parts. we're still using a monocoque and we've got a Yamaha R6 600cc engine instead, its a little smaller and lighter

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
