hey all

I havent been on a decent cruise for some time now and was thinking of going for a run up the Bells Line of Road to Katoomba sometime soon.... was going to leave from Thornleigh Macca's and head down through the Galston Gorge, out toward Wisemans Ferry and hang a left towards Windsor/Pit Town. From there a small cruise through the heart of Windsor and out for a nice drive through some twisty's....

Was thinking of the weekend after Compak Attak, Saturday the 16th April, as its cold enough to make it a nice turbo night, but not cold enough to come across any black ice or force us to stay in our cars cause its just unbearably cold. Meet point as above would be Thornleigh Macca's as close to 10pm for a 10.30 latest leave.

Would anyone from SAU be interested in a bit of a "spirited" drive at all???

Brad

Babak took me/let me drive your old car, I'm still amazed that you were able to part with it! :wassup:

We did a 2nd gear roll on the way home tonight, and the way the GTR brutally pulled away from me when it hit boost was awesome... It's like I was standing still. The 330CI with 170kw isn't a slouch either!

Then when I pull up next to him, the bastaard leans across and says "and that's on wastegate pressure!"

:) :) :)

what car have u got merli ?

mate, considering his avatar is a BMW badge, and he just posted right above you about driving his 330CI I think I will hazzard a guess and say that merli in fact drives a school bus and has a carrera GT for weekends.

well he used to have that "sexually frustrated purple" r33 GTR for his logo, and is on a skyline forum, which made sence, but now says he has a GT and has a BM logo. and something bout a 330ci.... merli do u have a licence ?

merli hasn't held a licence since he got the Carrera GT about 2 months ago. he had it all of 3 days, then points gooooone.

Didn't last long did it mate! :rofl: aweseome car though.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
