Hello

We would like to thank everyone who emailed and replied in the forums for our formal ride.

As some people may have forgot, I was looking for 4-5 skylines to drop us off at our end of year formal, what better way to arrive ey.

Bass Junky, Adzmax, NismoR34 and Paulr33 took the offer and drove us to the formal.

I can safely say that we are still smiling from last night's event. :(:)

As this was our first experience of a turbo and a skyline you have left one hell of an impression, what better way to experience it for the first time than in Peter's highly modified beast.

We are still craving for more and my friends are trying to come up with an excuse where we may have another ride.

The skylines were the talk of the formal as every car was an old limo and boy did people envy us haha.

Also thanks goes out to GTIARR, Leewah and Golgo for offering their rides but due to external factors were unable to attend.

NismoR34 if you wouldnt mind sending or uploading the pictures you took as I plan on professionally printing and framing the beach scene.

Thanks again to the people who attended and the SAU forum which made this possible.

You guys rock!

More pictures can be found here.

If you want the original size of the picture please email or PM me.

Some pictures may be blurry due to the fast acceleration from Bass Junky's R34 :P

I also have two video's but will only post once i get a confirmation from Bass Junky

Thats enough talk out of me, now to show some pics :D

Thanks all

- Patrick

good stuff mate, great idea, somethin different from the limo's, and what a way to be different. would have been awesome

well done to all the boys that offered their cars. I would love to have a car that people would want in somethin like that.

haha, the video's arent anything spectacular and are becoming overated because you cant see it :P

The video's are nothing illegal, just some take-off's from lights and my camera can’t record sound so nothing special.

I'll wait till Boost Junky replies in this thread if i should bother uploading.

Another thanks to Paul for having enough space for three people in the car.

Formal wasn’t that great, apart from our physics teacher (Romanian with a large beard) popping some moves on the dance floor.

After the formal had finished, my friends agreed that they would gladly pay $60 each to keep on driving rather than the formal dinner.

So if you four, Bass Junky, Adzmax, NismoR34 and Paulr33, are ever free we will be waiting eagerly to see those 4 round lights :)

Thanks

As requested I have uploaded the video's but dont expect them to be good.

Video 1:

Bass Junky and AdzMax were next to each other

Video 2

Nothing great but at least something.

Enjoy

Thanks

EDIT - R31Nismoid - PM if issues

Yeh Bass I did see you wave and waved back. Knew it was you because of the Nismo(right?) kit.

About "volvo", when we had the stagea meet in Melbourne, I told the other guys that I had debaged my car (removed Stagea/RSFOUR badges) and they then asked "why the hell would you do that, now even more people will call you a volvo?". Well, as long as only the people that I want to know about my car do, and the general public dont, I can live with that. (confusing sentance)

Though, I still find many many/most import drivers are oblivious to me.

Ill keep myself updated on the SAU VIC events and make sure ill attend the next BBQ/Meet. There is some Christmas BBQ isnt there? Ill arrange to become a member this week and send off all my stuff.

    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
