Hey

I was listening to radio a couple of minutes ago and they had a commercial about Autobarn in ringwood. It said they are having some competitions on the most riced out cars and then the largest cruise. They named it the autobarn drag day?

Anyone have any information about this?

I dropped by to see the autobarn competition. It was pretty bad. They had a tent where two cars parked under, an excel and a lancer with evo bodykit, then they tried to get the loudest dB reading. It sounded like the cars were about to fall apart. The excel was trying to blow his speakers to get a trophy, he only reached 150db. Not many skylines there. Only saw one white s2 skyline with a For Sale sticker on the back window. The rest of the people had VL commodores with shiny stickers.

Did anyone else go?

autobahn will be having another one of those 2 day discount 30% off everything... very soon. My little cousin the studd "enimen - look a like" is in the ad which is supposed to resemble some new Enimen D12 Clip... so maybe hold off on the motul oils till then and stock up.

Wondering in which autobarn will this sale be going on at??

my friend and i were bored tonight. so we decided to just drop by to have a look at some of the cars at the cruise tonight. we got to autobarn ringwood, and there was 1 marked cop car, and 3 unmarked cop cars which had stopped a few vehicles. and a couple cars had their bonnets open for inspection....

and i agree that mccr events/cruises are a little out-of-control. but they do sometimes bring out some sweet rides too

yeah well i actually went along last night, for half of it, don't normally go on Mccr cruises, thou was quite a few skylines there, one or 2 34's, bunch or 33's and a few other 32's. Nicest one i saw was probally a mint Blue GTR 32, went pretty quick too.

but yeah as u mentioned inark, there was quite a few idiots there ripping skids everywhere they could. they are the ones that ruin it for everyone when the cops come putting yellow stickers on everyones cars.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
