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

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

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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.

      Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.

      Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.

      hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator

      wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
