It's funny Mik joked about it being a hillclimb... as a teenager I lived just down the road, and let's just say we spent a fair bit of time in that forest on the dirt roads learning some rally driving skills LOL

That was the thing to do back in the day.

there wasnt much else.

Many dattos destroyed, and the odd corrolla.

First day back at work after 10 or so days being sick (Unpaid leave, CURSE YOU). Anyways, first day back at work I decided to take the monring a bit easy and search for some Skyline reviews. The oldest review I have found is in 1999.

A good read.It's really interesting reading about such old cars to us, but reviewed as new back in the 90's.

R34 GTR coming to Australia: http://smh.drive.com.au/motor-news/nissan-ponders-gtr-20100823-13gn0.html

#@Sinista32 The Skyline GT-R wont be cheap. In Britain, the price is 50,000; if it happens here, Nissan Australia will be setting the price around $140,000. I remember us trying to find some cost figures for the R34 GT-R on it's release.

Ztune R34: http://smh.drive.com.au/motor-news/skyline39s-the-limit-20100824-13oh7.html

I've tried to find some Drive.com.au articales about the R32 GTR when it first featured or even in pre-production but I'm guessing Drive.com.au wasn't around then.

jeremy Clarkson from top gear did a review of the r32 when it first released. The video is on youtube. It's an interesting watch.

P.S good to see the public servant here is working the hardest in the office today.

Yeah seen that video. Pretty interesting that's for sure. I hate reading, but was looking forward to it.

p.s The work I do in an hour probably admits to your work in a week :P. I work hard when I need to, I also take advantage of slower times in my day ;) Work smarter ! Not harder !

you coming out to a Friday meet soon?

haha I know exactly who that was. He has the car back (so people can chauffeur him in it lol), but license will remain suspended of course. He was busted on the way back from Sydney after an impulse drive up there for the weekend after a rather serious shitstorm with his housemate(s).....was really late Sunday night (hence it being told as "Monday" as it technically was lol), so at least it wasn't during the day when there's traffic....and yes, I realise you can't excuse it :P

He drives (or drove, lol) a Mitsubishi 380. Never usually drives aggressively, so it was definitely a once off that he unfortunately got caught for LOL

That's amazing news ! As I'm sure everyone here obeys the road rules. Police Targeting Modified cars was a horrid month (Whenever those RTA cars with cops going around). Speaking of which. I spotted a RTA / Cop setup stop thingy near Gunners. 4 cops and 2 RTA cars - saw one cop speed off with sirens and as I was passing I gave them a bit of my JDM PSSSSSCH, cops head's turned thinking "there goes our one of our monthly statistics !" as I drove off into the sunset :D

Chris, your taxpayers dollars are being well spent on my SAU browsing :P

I knew of someone who did 180 in a 60km/h in Newcastle. Sped got his license taken away and car as well. Complete moron he was.

Good joke....

And ill be out to the Friday meet as soon as i get the GTR back. Don't know when that will be though. 2 weeks maybe? maybe more i don't know. I just bought a house and an engagement ring and my car will be about $3000 so im pretty poor at the moment so im in no real rush to pick it up LOL

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
