  • 3 weeks later...

There are at least 6 skylines in Darwin but at the present they still seem to be relatively exclusive. I was the second person in Darwin to purchase an R33 GTS25t back 3 years ago. There are probably more because there is a continuous coming and going of young army recruits bringing them up.

For the person that was asking about the best place to speed well if you are sitting in the middle of Darwin you drive 30 to 40km's down the stuart highway until you see a sign with a white background and a black circle with a black line through it diagonally. At that point you would be doing 100kph in 5th and all you do is to push your accelarator to the floor until you are screaming along in fifth. My only problem is i have a standard 180kph speedo and all that i can tell you is that i have had it wrap around to zero and then some. I would guess i was doing around 240kph (screaming along in 5th). Once i slowed down i found that one of the plastic ferrings in front of the drivers side front wheel had been forced against the front wheel and had melted. Neat huh.

hahaha this week you can grab it, probably tuesday or wednesday!

As for the exclusive part i dont think its so much as exclusive, its just the smarter people dont go around cruising and harassing others on the road with PCHHST noises in the window like the other fools on the road.

And some of us are picked on by the cops for having a loud car..... but thats only when the external gate opens up :)

Our fuel up here is at best PULP 98RON i think (103.9c/L). I get the best results with BP PULP and the worst with Woolworths Plus Petrol PULP.

We dont get the same luxuries you guys down south get, shell optimax (droool).

Low RON fuel plus high ambient temperature is not the best combination but we get by.

I read yesterday they are going to charge people who drive dangerously ie to fast for the situation (in the no limits area) !!!!

As for the speed cut i just installed an Apexi PowerFC!

:(

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
