What do you think Noob? It's just the Dutton, not V8 supertaxi round. You spending too much time on LS1 forum?

Come over to Essendon. See the whole event from one place and see which cars can turn well and which smack the kerbs.

good luck guys ;) please chop some porsches for me, and most of all make sure none of them push in front of you in queues for events :rolleyes:

You should be able to catch the Z tune pretty easily it had a 1.19 at Oran Park last week only 0.3sec quicker than my production car.

Day one is done and dusted.

All teams went well, some ace cars, the Bullet is still in one piece, and I am leading the Kone Kill Kount at 5!

Stupid cones.

Anyhoo - more news later.

For now - if anyone is coming up, we need the following items:

suncream

R32 brake resovoir lid

R33 clutch

hoist

team of mechanics

8 RE55s

some yellow spray paint

more beer

Better update tomorrow :laugh:

Got back this morning after spending Friday night and Saturday up there with the Dutton people (trying to be politically correct!).

We managed to tag on to the end of dinner/awards last night (Bec, Min and I) as we were not entrants and didnt pay the meal fee.

I won't spoil too much but can say all are doing well and putting on some awesome displays. Chris at the SPC carpark last night had everyone cheering with his performance with Snowy and Adam close behind.

Chris and Snowy are 6th overall as a team if I recall correctly and both are top 10 individually. Adam is also doing very well in about 8th in a slightly different category.

Steve McQueen and Johnny Knoxville are going great guns in the silver bullet. Juz and Adam are also doing well.

Lots of awesome driving and a stunning day in Shep yesterday.

BTW - lots of fast Evos :)

Am sure the participants will update more accurately later on.

    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
