Hello all

I took the new R32 GTR out to willowbank tonight to give it its first stretch.

ran a 12.3 on my first pass running 0.9 bar. pretty happy, but had some probs so decided to leave.

Now, as a skyline owner, i was VERY dissapointed at the level of comradery displayed by my fellow line owners...

We counted at least 4 r33gtsts that came from the drags and passed us on the side of the road (Cunningham highway) with the hazards on in the dark.

If I saw a skyline (or an evo or gtir(myold cars)) on the side of the road in the night (especially just after exiting willowbank) i would stop and offer assistance.

You know like teh brotherhood or whatever crap, fellow skyline owners.

All i got was people ripping skids and yelling out the windows.

lol

Huge Thanks to SAU-'EasyTiger' Dave and his mate for stopping with us untill we could track down a tow truck.

Great work.

Michael

woops,

Tommo was logged into my pc earlier on today. :D

so i accidentally posted that as him.

just ****en rotten a bit fellow skyline owners would just drive past!

i know it probably wouldnt happen in sydney with the nsw -sau people i know!

anyway, car will be good, hopefully will be out in a week or so havfing a bash at a better time.

mick

does sound a bit shitty thats for sure, but I think you will find that those people probably aren't a part of SAU anyway.

especially if they are chucking skids and yelling out the window :D

p.s great time by the way :)

yea i'd say the people who drove past weren't a part of SAU. I know that when I threw a rod at the track a while ago there was a few SAU members that helped me out. Especially Rodney (GOR33) who gave me a lift back from the track to the coast.

On a side note, what was the problem?

Matt

Yeah great time :) and if I saw you I would've stopped, I usually stop and make sure people are ok when they are pulled up along the highway, even if they weren't skylines. We are a pretty freindly bunch here on SAu!

thanks no worries guys. :)

was just a little upset last night.

Turns out the pipe from the compressor housing was blown off. lol

damn just a bit too hard to see out there at night. Hidden under the intake and mafs. :)

Might get back out on saturday and have a nother bash as i didnt really get many runs in 12.3 was first run first time out.

Thanks

Michael

Hey Guys,

It was magic to watch the freshly imported R32GTR only running on half boost do a 12.3 pass, however the hour wait for a flatbed tow truck... damn!!!

Tommo got it right... The amount of Skylines passing us who didn't even offer a mobile phone... WTF???... I really hope it was no-one frem SAU..

Especially the two fools in R33's who were drag racing past us, didn't slow down and only just skimmed passed us making Tommo jump off the road for his life... You have serious thrill issues dudes... But in saying that - Sick work for having a run!!! ha ha ha... I'd be taking the oppertunity for teaching the V8 boys a lesson!!!...

There are plenty of d*ckhead, who also drive skyline out there, BTW did you have your bonnet up? Normally I wouldn't stop in the middle of no where for someone on the side of the road unless they got their bonnet up.

But yeah yealling and carrying on are traits of the tools that populate our society.

i hate ****ing dickheads that yell shit and worse when you are at the side of the road, obviously trying to fix things. ****ing wankers!

I've got half a mind to walk out with a brick whenever i do have to pull over.. whoever lets fly with an insult, cops a brick in the car. Lets see how tough they feel then.

Worst still is that when you have your head buried in the engine bay and you mate cruises up quitely and toot the horn, It's not really funny when you got 3rd degree burns on your hands from it. So what pred. said is understandable.

My boss thinks its funny to see what damage the apprentice can do to himself by waiting until he right into a job in the engine bay and giving the horn a toot. Its one joke he never grows tired of..... :bonk:

Goodwork with the time.... It doesn't suprise me no one would stop, maybe if they wanted to mug you they might have pulled over.

Cheers

Sumo

lol

well i would stop if a fellow skyline owner wsa on side of the road.

anyway, im going back out tonight still on 9psi to have some more practise.

if anyones out there come say hi.

I wouldn't stop unless I had someone with me that’s how people steel little girls like me, so if you see my car go past when your on the side of the road don't take offence I just don’t want to be taken away.

What time will you be out there i might come watch?

hi,

yeah fair enough. :P

i'll be out there at about 4:30 for the start.

Like to get a couple of uns in early incase it gets busy.

Look for a Big Red headed fella with silver R32gtr and carbon bonnet. ZLR32.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
