Well seems we have had a major setback. Liz has not made it. Maximum entries being 60 with 5 reserves. You must be very pissed off at the moment Liz. This grumpy old bastard will be counting the entrys and If the roster isn't full I WILL BE HAVING WORDS.

I still have to go on sunday so what about 1.00pm at that car park?. Jas post me your mobile and I'll ring you when we get close.

Neil.

Even more pissed now that I've cancelled the arrangements I had to get my car fixed before next weekend because of their decision... then this morning, I get an email from the event secretary saying he's changed his mind due to lack of entries.... GRRRR

Damn WSCC saying I wasn't a champion, I mean, sif I'm not a champion!!!! I think they actually found out I was a champion hence the sucking up now! hahaah

I'll still be heading down to watch as I'm keen to get into these hillclimb thingys!

so they said you not in, you cancelled car repair, then they rang to say you are in? good job. oh well, there is always the next one! plus are you coming to oran park on 29th?

yeah a bit frustrating!

nope ;) not fair on the boss to ask for time off work right now... I'm settling for the Luff day on the Sat after it's not full circuit but it's better than nothing!!!

I'm going to try and get to a McGill track day sometime soon, big mcgill fan i am!!!

oh man, I just saw a video of the hillclimb... stuff it.. I'm keeping my entry and if I manage the get the car working during the week, I'll be there with bells on!!!!

The silver car going up one?

Did i email that to you?

You all so want a Peugeot after seeing that 60 year old Panel Van.

Jas I did try ringing you but I must have typed your number wrong cause I got someone else.

Liz the great, thats the spirit girl.

I'll have to check the vid when I get home,,,crapbox thing here is as good as the cars we sell,,,bloody euro-trash.

Neil i pmed it too you!

and :no: to those peugeots haha i could not stop laughing..

Neil - Corinne has a video with you in it

Im so buying a Pug tomorrow, i just found some change on the floor so maybe ill buy 2?

yea it was sent.. :)

Which vid is that? Got a link or something?

I posted a link to the NSCC's gallery here earlier. A pewter S15 with a roof-mount camera doing the run as well. Wouldn't mind seeing some other cars doing it.

I have a vid of a NA S13 doing it in the wet floating around somewhere as well.....

    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
