yes, it absolutely needs to be rising rate in a turbo car - the rising means that fuel pressure rises as your boost does.

ahh yep sorry, I was thinking of v700. v710 looks pretty aggressive BTW it probably doesn't matter for you, but v710 are not on the CAMS tyre list.

BAM! SAU never fails to deliver, those seats were one of the least likely ones I thought we would find. I don't suppose you have a tent with a nissan part number hanging off the roof as well? Hey Brendan...my friends at lincorp said that part number does not match the car, or maybe that the part number was not valid. Can you confirm G685X-0V000?

Indeed, there are still some v710 new I think, but most are now v70a. they are among the quicker tyres, especially on a lighter car. they were very popular when they were the IPRA control tyre about 10 years ago before they moved to the super expensive yokos. they performed better when buffed but I guess you don't want to bother. one thing I found with v70A which may also be true in v710, high tyre pressures gave the best performance under the gtr. when I say high, I mean 42-44 hot which is outrageous take them if the price is right

cancel that....I can't download the form, maybe it went missing in the forum upgrade? money sent anyway

there is no run off...so stay on the road. This track is exactly like every twisty road you have ever wanted to hoon down without a speed limit. Yes it would be a bad idea to fall off, so drive within your (and the car's limits) and have a ball. I'll am in for sure, entry form and money sent tonight. No idea which car yet, I'll find something somewhere...I'm not missing this track.

unless you are very unlucky and break down, there would be no issues. and how likely is it to break down on a gentle drive at 100klm/h for hours at a time? I drove my old r33 gtst from sydney to alice springs about 10 years ago, and had it up there for about a year before bringing it home. Other than finding 98 octane there was absolutely no issues. You can be sure nissan's engineers looked after the sealing, air con performance etc etc much better than the falcodores' ones did.

actually, on second thoughts I have run out of fuel 3 times. Happened at an enduro at Oran Park years ago too. Same thing....it coughed coming off the bridge, I backed off and drove into the pits swearing. No engine damage

I am not sure where the experience of empty surge tanks killing engines comes from...to me it sounds a like a bit of an internet myth. I have run the race car out of fuel a twice during races- surge tank empties, car coughs in corner, driver backs off. I have also had a fuel pump fail (came loose in tank tearing wiring off after a rally crash). In 3 cases, even though it has happened to me at full throttle and very hot motor each time, it has not resulted in any damage. The fact is, it is vey unlikely that a car will fire with insufficient fuel pressure. You need approx 7:1 to 20:1 for a cylinder to fire. If you drop to 50% or less of the expected pressure, you can almost guarantee a missfire, not a lean out. And even in a cylinder or 2 fires lean once or twice, there is no way it will keep firing at that level, it will almost instantly start missifirng. I run Paul's Engine Monitor too, and that is defiantely your answer. Just set a warning on low fuel pressure. That way not matter whether it is the main pump, lift pump, main tank, surge tank or even regulator that fails, you will be warned.

And, I'll add that Brad has done a lot of work on my, and other SAU-ers cars, over the years, he does a great job at an excellent price

I like how that cowboy thinks. Keep in mind you will have troubles with the auto if you change computer (ie change to an rb26).

now there is some good news....off to order

I'm not sure about the rules in Vic, but in NSW a trailer with over 2 tonnes needs a breakaway braking system. Can't say I've ever seen a GTR on a trailer with such a system.

Hi All, I am not sure if everyone is aware of this, but the founder of these forums and the club, Christian, has had a very serious medical issue 2 days ago. He is very lucky to be alive. His wife Bec sent the following update: For anyone that doesn't know Christian had an aortic aneurism and had emergency cardiac surgery on Wednesday as it split his aorta and coronary arteries. Thankyou for your love and thoughts, I know he appreciates them so much as do I. He is stable now but on a ventilator which they hope to get him breathing on his own today so they can get him off it. if you could please send him thoughts of strength today that would be so helpful. Bec This club would never have existed without Christian's efforts, and equally, most of us probably would never have met without his creation and maintenance of these forums. And, he is a damn good bloke who has never failed to try to do the right thing in the 10+ years I have known him. All the best with your recovery, Christian

ahh ok...mine had the rest of those goodies too, heated windscreen wipers too. but happily no white seats:|

Congrats to Jenna (and any part you had in it). Did you make her do all the work? Thank god it's a girl and she doesn't look like you (except same haircut)

haha I can tell you exactly what a 25/30 in a stagea feels like.....f**king excellent wolv....I have a turbo ready to go on, garret core in the china housing to minimise re-piping. I have lots of spare china housings to choose from Anyway...it is a good day out, and there is nothing like a stagea for bringing home wine from the hunter by the caseload

Are those white seats factory or custom retrim? It's hard to imagine them going well with kids.

The nismo dash with TV surely does fit a c34 S1. I have one They were also available for r33 gtr. Not sure if it interchangeable of different. But I still want to know who has an electric scissor jack, or tent that fits on the roof racks!

Nothing funny about it ...doing the right thing matters. I'll stick to the right side of Karma, thanks. It will be good to catch up Kat.

mate, it's a nationals event, run by a club. I'm sure their only aim is to make sure every skyline enthusiast has a way to take part. If you are worried, just leave the class blank and let them work it out To me, it is more about being part of a great group of like minded people, rather than just another commercial track day.

lol soz....good point

Hey Mark, I'm sure you will be welcome, no matter what is in the supp regs? or are you only heading out if you can win

lol do those quotes go back to 2002? about time you caught up on this thread....I was beginning to take it personally

damn, it is perfect stagea weather for outside. unfortunately my turbo shit itself so car is off the road still, it would be great to see some Stageas out, it is a sensible cruise and the whole family would enjoy it.
