What a top day!!

Had a ball, loved the track. After struggling in the morning I got the hang of it in the dry by the afternoon.

Congrats on the PB's of the day, and a big congrats to Chris who ran a 35 on the day, top effort mate!

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped out too, much appreciated.

From what looked like was going to be a wet day, it stopped raining mid morning which gave enough time for the track to dry up by lunch time...

There was plenty of drifto action in the morning sessions but times started to drop considerably in the afternoon...

Was my first time at Winton, had a great time untill my car started to sound like a tractor, looks like the frontpipe to turbo studs have streched, allowing exhaust gasses to escape through the engine bay rather than out the exhaust..

Didn't get to do the last two sessions, was convinced a 1:35 was there!!!

Ohwell, as they say, THAT'S RACING!!

Well done to all the guys out there with PB's, Chris (Scotsman) was driving very hard and reeled off an impressive 1:35.5, and the rwd boys did quite well!! Dane, Ray and Matt posted some great times...

Big thanks to Bec, Matt (Mavric), Ryan and Ash in officiating/flagging, without people like you these days won't run as smooth as they do...

Highlight would have to be watching ferni's brakes glowing with sparks flying, having no brakes going in to turn 1, car spun off the track heading towards the wall....

haha if you're doing more mods, then so am I!! :D

You got me by .08 seconds... I thought I had it... drats!! haha

Thanks for the compliments man, you should be pretty happy yourself. Us SR boys have to show these skylines/rexes what a real car is!

It's a shame we couldn't line up in the super sprints, would have been a blast. Oh well, there's always next time.

Really happy with how the car went aswell, considering it hasn't had a wheel alignment since 2004, seems to be handling alright, and it's still in one piece, so I'm happy.

Congrat's on the time Ferni. I have someone to chase now!!

I suffered a split intercooler hose during the second timed session - so the 36 will have to wait for another day. I'm glad it didn't foul the plugs and I could drive home - as Jack was sort of.......fully booked :D

Cheers

Thanks mate, but if your aiming for a 36 then it will be me chasing you. I may have been able to get a high 37 if i got a consistent lap in, but no way would i of got a 36 with my brakes hah. First time out on semi slicks as well.

Can't really afford 5k for a new big brake kit so i'm kind of in no mans land at the moment. Chris thinks I can still get away with standard brakes with the right setup, so may have to give that a go.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
