Finally got the car reg'd today. A massive relief after a year and a half. Might be able to call myself a real skylines driver instead of a carport racer. Goes in tomorrow for the tune. Can't wait. Could have been more excited but I am to tight ass to buy some new tyres and pads at the moment so that can wait until next year.

Not long now. Don't forget your fold up chairs. They come in very handy and are alway forgotten.

This trip is going to be chaos. Had the car tuned and it was found that cam gears were out one tooth and it only made 170rwkw with the pfc which untuned ran better than the stock ecu. I now I have 292rwkw so its going to be heaps more fun and also it will be my first track day with the 4wd working and good suspension.

Only two more days until the adventure begins peoples, f--k yeh! Beer and power. What more could you want?

Thanks Snowy. It'll the good to get back into it again. I bought a book on driving the other month (going faster) that expains how to brake, enter and accelerate out of corners and how to approach diferent lines. It makes sense but I haven't tried any of it yet. I've been doing it wrong all this time I found out thou. As for my no holding back driving style it may have to stop soon. I want some fast times finally. Maybe I'm getting old. Reading books and talking sensible. Whats going on?

Also I might have to consult the NSW thread to re-educate myself no how to tackle the pubs. From last time I was there I remember something about lining up in straight lines at the bar and middies?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
