You're welcome to the cold!

Sorry for the dumb question but Ive nerver been to either track, is there noise restrictions at either track ??

Wakefield are anal about noise after dark cause they have neighbors who arent into cars

But yeah, during the day it doesnt matter

I've never seen any car done for noise at either track even at race meets....let alone a car with a big bloody turbo stuck in teh exhaust.

C'mon qlders :( And bring some GTSt s to confirm to these vic-ians that gtrs can be beaten :(

I'm driving mine down. Bloody trailer-sailors! :) But it looks like I'll be running on my road tyres rather than the semis, unless my tax return is bigger than expected! Still won't be happy if a gtst beats me though! :)

Go the 32 brotherhood. If there is enough of GTSt guys then we can slow all the GTRs down over the course of their laps :)

Dont see the pointof going quick? At supersprints they get 1 mintue less track time per session, seems pretty silly to me to spend all that money just to get less time on the track?

While all the GTR guys are trying to punch out lap times, i will be there flying the flag for the hacks with just having a ball and drinking up a storm the night after... If i can find a girl to talk dirty to me then i will rate the week as a 'total result' :)

Its going to be a prodigious week...and RB20 POWAH lives in NSW :)

We are only thinking of trailering it incase something unexpected happens.

And don't worry... you will be beaten by a gtst :)

Andy, I found a place that will rent you a car trailer for $242 per week and $14 per day after that.

You would still need a tow car though.......

That is pretty good!

If worst come to worst I could get that and use mums patrol ute as the tow car! Plenty of room for everyones spare rims :teehee:

but what could possibly go wrong? :whistling:

I said that ^ in jest, which is the reason for the cringe thingy. I actually own a car trailer and 4WD I used to tow my old Datto 1200 race car around on. I swear I used to end up towing other people's broken cars back from a weekend's racing at Warwick more often than my own!

I towed the GTR to Bathurst last year too, but based on the amount of fuel you use and pice of petrol, I think I'll take the risk of driving the GTR this time. If worst comes to worst and I can't fix the thing myself to get back on the road, I'll get it towed to SWR and try and hitch a lift back with someone. but I have no reason to expect any (serious) problems from my experience with the car so far. and yes, I am touching wood...

maybe I should just tow it... When I decided to drive it down, I thought most people would be cruising down together in convoy, but that doesn't seem to be the plan anymore

Sorry guys I cant make this one. I shattered a bearing inside the front dif witch in turn shattered the gear pin witch in turn pushed back at high speed and shattered a gear then the gear teeth sheared off and took the front gear and after all that the lot dropped to the bottom of my front wheel drive that is apparently magnetic 0_o and did no more damage witch the fella said was what saved me from having to replace the main gear and the turning gear.

In the end he said the resin this happened was because the gear old I was running * RED LINE Light shock proof * was the corse of the bearing shattering in the first place

I am happy now at least I know what that bloody sound is and it wont be driving me crazy anymore

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
