What about we organize a cruise skyline33,,,,you know,,, couple bottles of octane booster,,,head off to sunny Northern Territory,,,I'd be interested to see just how fast these cars go,,,out there you gotta be looking for at least 240/250.

nah, the ECR34 nismo speedo for about 1grand is about right :D

Another option is the Tommy Kaira one which is about a grand too

yeah i test drove a white 34gtt with the tommy k dash, i didnt like the digital speedo much though!

And for the same money [$1k] i prefer the Nismo dash - except i dunno if i like the yellow / orange text on it. what colour is it @ nite i wonder?

If anybody ever doubted R33 GTS-T's ever had Cruise as an option,,,Take a look at the Throttle Cable Bracket on the Inlet Manifold,,,YES it has an extra spot for another cable and then look at the Throttle Body Shaft,,,,ahhhh extra long,,,just to take the 2nd Spindle for the Cruise Cable.

I want Cruise,,,,,

Denham,

I haven't put my speedo on yet, too busy. Hope it's easy enough to do by myself as I never dismantle my dashboard before.

Does anyone know if that speed check thing on Princes Fwy from Geelong inbound still works? The one that displays your speed on the monitors under the crossover bridge. Ever since they had a roadwork there I never seen em working again.

That's one place where you can check if 100 km/h on your speedo is really 100km/h. Or you cross reference with another car, ask your mate/bro/sis to follow you doing 60/80/100 and then check if their speedo reading and yours are similar. I did that once with my old 86 Cressida and found that to cruise at "real" 60km/h, I need to speed up to 70km/h as that old speedo was buggered!

No wonder when I drove that old car 60km/h on the main road, 10 out of 10 ppl are tailgating me! In reality, I was travelling 50km/h only hahaha...

nice price rev ~ they must have dropped recently!

rs73: the speedo check is back up! I have used it twice in the last few weeks ~ my reading was only 1 km/h out. Needle was dead on 100 and it reported 101 - I got exactly the same reading twice.

so in theory being 1% out isnt too bad, plus its better to know which way its out too [doing 60 for me is really 60.6].

Considering I have different sized wheels and tyres to standard this is very acceptable. Standard ones will be near on dead accurate cause I know from calculations which way it will go.

Sorry started to get a bit carried away there.../end rant :D

its better to actually drive past those speed checks at like 160km/h they flash * slow down slow down *

Remember when they started those 50km/h in built up areas speed limit and they had those mobile speed check down sidestreets? Well there was 1 down my street for about a week so me and my friends played games in the night with it to see who could get the fastest speeds from certain points down my street to the speed detector.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
