Hey guys. I have a few Q's for the fellow Territorians up here re: R33 GTST. I'm going to buy one at the end of this year after house minding one for 3 months when in QLD. I have HEAPS of Q's I'm hoping that someone can help me with!

Where is the most reputable place in Darwin to get any tuning done. How about performance mods ie: A/Market Engine Management fitment / Tuning, Coolers, Turbo Upgrades ect.....

Or am I better off taking 4 weeks off work, headin south and get it all done down there in one hit whe I buy one?

Any issues with insurance up here? I briefly spoke to shannons and had a reasonable quote.

Any of you guys hit Hidden valley on the Friday night street runs?

Been there a few times and seen a few imports s l o w l y making a scene.

Ive only seen 3 white R33's getting around the local area. Nice 33 with a 400R front bar i passed the other day headin home.

cheers,

Tackdog

I think your options for performance work and upgrades in Darwin is pretty limited from what i have seen (lived there 10 years). Especially for high performance turbos like skylines etc.

If you are going to buy one down south somewhere (which would seem likely) then get any major stuff you want done while you are down. There are more places with good reputations, and more competition means better prices for you :)

whoever that was directed at I agree, I am going to be buying a silvia and have some work down to it, all down south, I just don't trust the mechanics up here, sure they (some) do a good job but they don't see enough performance cars to know EXACTLY what they are doing, and I don't plan on being the guinee (sp) pig :D

stuff's cheaper down south any way. Intercoolers, Mandrel bent exhausts etc are all much cheaper so if you guy a car down here anyway it would make sense if you can afford to get it done at the same time.

You could always order the parts up and fit them yourself I guess. The thing I would be worried about is getting it all tuned. I don't know if there are any good workshops around in Darwin for dyno tuning aftermarket computers etc.

    • Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?
    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
