Spotted Luke and Kacey (fat-lad and Coastal Chill) tonight in their silver s1, and also spotted Ian (Xmetal) who'd tagged along with them for the cruise to the Thursday night Central Coast meet-up.

spotted dark green series 2 possible goldzilla at the m2 roadworks heading home from the coasty...

If it was last night (or, technically, early this morning) between around 12.15am and 12.30am, then that was me. My car's an s1, though...

Where were you? You're not one of the road workers who blocks the lanes off for 4kms and reduces the speed limit to 40km/h, so they can do road works for, what, all of 15 metres, are you? That is REALLY annoying!

s1 my bad i only saw your ass end as you passed me..

And yer thats me.. last night was 2.5km of fast lane closure so some f/wit engineer could inspect the lane line because it wasnt "sparkly enough" for him, that big a set up so a ute can drive along heating up two 30m sections of the line and throw some glass bead on to it.. The roads 1000 times better than it was but unless they get organised on what work needs to be done and in what order(or do the job right the first time) theres going to be more pissed off drivers and even bigger set ups..

On a good note thanks for slowing down to 40km/h not to many people do and it can get kinda scary with all those trucks and cars flying passed at 110km/h+ just shows who the hoons realy are..

LOL, my mate's been working on the M2 upgrade/resurfacing lately too, I've heard. He drives a profiler. The new surface is awesome, so much quieter to drive on! As long as there are "cats' eyes" on the lane markings, I prefer hotmix everywhere for road surfacing. The only time it sucks is when it's raining because without the cats' eyes you just can't tell where the lanes go.

Oh, I almost always slow down, and will do it more now that there are mobile speed cameras around - I've never been booked for a driving offence, and I'm not going to start now.

cool i don't look after the profiler very often but im the only daniel onsite so tell your mate to come up and say hi sometime....

Spotted a grey C34 Stagea zooming through traffic on Parramatta Road, just near the M4 entrance at Concord at 7:45 tonight.

Was going to give you a wave but you disappeared into the distance.

    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate 
    • He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.
    • Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
