Are there spaces left? What's the go if two people want to share one car? Does Mr. McGill frown upon this? I take it you also don't have any problem with non-'lines carving up the concrete? :P

EDIT: Damn, I see I'm now on the second page, and it seems to be full. Anyway, if I'm wrong, please let me know!

hey all i am pretty new to these forums and to import ownership in general.

How would i go about getting in to just watch and maybe meet a few of you guys in person?

I am interested in getting together with other people who own skylines and this seems like a good opportunity.

The buick dorifts?

Sure, don't see why it wouldn't. It's RWD, has a stack of power, and a nice tight limmie - why not? ;) It'd be a real challenge to keep on track though, when 2 tonnes breaks traction, it tends to want to go its own way. I've tested it. :)

4 tonnes of Detroit steel floating on marshmallow suspension and cross plys...you don't expect it to handle do you?? :P

Hehe Dino, it's a more conservative 2 tonnes (as above), and it runs radials now - but still, NO. :D:)

As much as I'd love to try the Riv out on the 'pan, it may not be avialable at that time - hopefully it'll be in getting treated to a full respray, and other resto work. I was intending to bring Daddy's BMW.

Anyway, see you all there as a spectator, I imagine. :)

Thanx for the pm pete, havn't been online for while. The Teins are up to the challenge, and the tyres are bald with the belts comin thru big time (your specifications pete?):P Just hope the clutch holds up till then.

Despite the the objections of a few ppl, i think the skid pan is a great place to learn to drift and learn car control. Hell of a lot safer than on the streets, way too many close calls lately.:eek:

Hi Peter,

Finally I have confirmation from Eastern Creek on the April 6th day for you,

the day is on!

I have attached a booking form that ALL drivers MUST fill out & return to

our office or they will not get a start.

No need to fill in the credit card area as I believe you have taken

depsoits?

We will require 50% deposit for all drivers ASAP as Eastern Creek require

full payment prior to confirming booking. I have done this to secure your

date.

I will have 1 instructor on hand to assist with the control and safety

during the program.

We shall begin at 9.00a.m SHARP and conclude as per Eastern Creeks booking

rules at 5.00p.m.

I'm sure your guys are looking forward to a fun day and that is what this

venue delivers, believe me!

Cheers for now

Aaron M

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
