I don't agree with you saying that it's easy to make a slow car go quick and harder to make a fast car go fast. I understand what your trying to get across about reaching the limits of the car,.

Yeh so you know what im trying to say and it in no way was meant to take away from your time...:worship:

And yeh Sandown is a drag strip... you try driving my car and keeping up with any of you guys punching out 250+rwkws ...i know your pain all too well...you have to really concentrate on braking and corner speed.

I suppose my point was in light of other ppl doing great lap times i fear they may have been selling Jacks achievement short. It was his first day at Sandown, and thinking back its about 3 seconds quicker then a number of similarily modified GTRs on their first few outings...thats all.

....and anyway, since when did you ever read or listen to a single thing i have to say:)

Matt - Thanks man, your car looked awesome out there, from behind at least! :P Trying to keep up with you and Ray may be bad for my health... for now... :mad:

Jack - I'm hoping to get another second out of it with the same power, and I think I might have been able to do it if I hadn't have grabbed 5th instead of 3rd on every lap in my last session... woops haha

Everyone should be really happy with their times, and it was great to see everyones cars hold up, and no major incidents.

Thanks for the support everyone, made me feel really comfortable on my first track day, especially since I was a bees dlck away from losing my lunch before the first practice session! Was a really great experience, I've never had so much fun in my life than being out there, can't wait till the next one!

oh, and Ray, what kind of rear wing is on your car??

I agree mate. We all have to keep in mind that these days are meant to be fun and we shouldn't put pressure on people to punch out times. Sandown is a track that has claimed many Skylines, and i'm glad we didn't see that this time around. I must admit I feel more pressure at sandown, as people seem to use this as a benchmark and all the big cars come out to play.

I don't agree with you saying that it's easy to make a slow car go quick and harder to make a fast car go fast. I understand what your trying to get across about reaching the limits of the car, but at a track like sandown there is a lot of straight bits, and all these guys are pulling away from me fairly convincingly on the straight. At the risk of sounding stuck up, I had to work mega hard on my braking and corner speed to get a comparable time. I think without the oil on the track in the afternoon a 1.21.9 is possable.

You wanna try it on standard suspension.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
