Yeh, welcome buddy.

I'm relatively new to SAU as well, and now that the Tempe boys have hooked me up with some shiny new wheels I should be able to overcome the embarassment of having a totally stock 'line, and actually turn up to a cruise or two. :)

I knew somebody would bite :wassup: - nuthin wrong with a stocker, but those of us who have already quietly suffered years of driving bloody falcons, camrys etc before the missus finally caved in and let us buy a decent ride will understand why you don't buy a Skyline and leave it standard.

Dunno bout the bleed valve tho if that's what your planning on doing - I was warned not to fiddle around with the boost too much without at least a decent FMIC.

PS - where did you get your exhaust done? That's next on my list....

the place i got my exhaust at charged me a fair bit plus scratched the paint a little on my rear bar so i wont name them :rant: except that they are in fyswick. I will say they have done a good job with the exhaust however just those few little things are what put me off :P

in regards to the boost i am only going to be runninng 8 - 9 so its barely over the stock of 7. in regards to an FMIC maybe but we will see at the moment its a no go. saving for appartment + just bought new rims + gf lol

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      Blue slip

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
