mc

nice car btw..

:shake:

Thanks for the compliment *grin*

Damn....maybe I should have stopped if I knew people from here were there...said hello and the like.

Anyways, its a flat 6, 3.3 litre wih 169kW

The brakes are not up to the weight of the car so can get a bit scary on the winding bits but the AWD is great.

Was it an Old Pac run??

Word of advice. Id steer clear of OPH for a while.

There is a police operation on that section of road for the next few months.... you can probably guess why.

The meetings at Thornleigh maccas in numbers are risky also.... 2 out of the last three times i have arrived in thornleigh maccas on a friday or sat night i have rolled in to find at one stage 12 highway patrol cars lined up......scary.

Its a heavy bugger...1650kg unloaded and with auto means that not quick off the line but once up and moving its quite rapid.

The glass is bonded to the chassis so you can't see any pillars and the roof is black, as is the rear deck, which adds to the illusion that the entire top of the car is glass (thankfully not since already hot enough as it is!!)

Sold new here from 1992 - 1997 - just over 200 odd were sold and 97 currently registered in NSW

My favourite feature are the windows within windows....120/130kph and no buffeting..and quiet at err....higher speeds on private roads :uh-huh:

A WRX engine??? Thats a step backwards!!:)

Have brought it up the old Pac a few times but could not push it till I had a transmission cooler fitted (which is now on it!) but the brakes tend to fade quite rapidly.

Cops hiding in driveways?? On the Old Pac???

Hmmm.......the hoons must be hiding somewhere since I often just cruise around and have to content myself with racing taxi's and STA buses....damn their torque!!:)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road.

      That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...

      Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
