I saw him at the start line for one run hey.

Two things that got me were the amount of bs fast cars. Was awesome.

And how many cars still had problems, but they didnt seem to phase them. Just kept the boot in. It was just hurting to see and watch it.

Just got home from jabmo, was a pretty good turn out.

I thinky Rhys went 7.57 on one of his runs from memory. Paid and extra ten to get into the seats close to the starting line on the grass side. Was a good view beiing so close to the cars, but harsh on the ears sometimes.

Saw the v8 skyline run it was impressive, missed the godzilla motorsport r32 :)

Overall i thought there might have been more rotors running?

Also anyone know what the torana has in it?

12:24 I am just crawling in from the Jamboree. Full day of car racing and same can be said for the streets after. Now I am sun burned as hell but hell I had fun. I would post pictures but I realised I kinda only took pictures of things that are not appropriate :) & there was plenty of that to go around lol

wasnt very impressed at all.

theo quited in the morning after first run, and bloody did not see any fast GTRs completing any times at all.

does anyone know what happend to Reece's R32?? did he blow the drive shaft or something??

I saw that too, but then i saw him back where he ran 7.57. Was happy i got to see the car i went to see run something close to its best.

I would agree though there wasnt many fast skylines around, the turnout of everything else was pretty good though :ermm:

Almost needed hearing protection i was so close the start line damn rotors :happy:

problem with rotories is that you see one, you see them all.

all of them are pretty much the same engine, same sound, similar time, all of them can not idle, all in same chassis, rx2,3,4,7

at the beginning of the race, i was fine, but then really got sick of them aye...

I guess i can kinda see where your coming from but the point is they have an unique engine design, they sound f*cking unreal! & there times are similar becuase there all so stupidly fast. Plus apart from jamboree and mini jam how often do you get to witness the rotory potential? Obviously there not for everyone tho.

That Toyota was awesome (well the car with the toyota badge painted on it) :)

Wine red R33 black rims !! ...top end of Mooloolaba why whats up?? :nuke:

nothing is up just wanted to know what car u have and where u live on the coast, there is a million skyline around and u just dont know who is driving what these days, its good to meet the ppl who are on here that is why i asked. mine is white with white rims and 85URK plates u have probably seen it around.

yeah got back from jambo not long ago, the toyota with the 2jz in it took the pro rwd record, with a 6.88 pass (i think) so now the rotary boys have to try and take back the title off the piston kids!!! and the heat treatment GTR took the record for worlds fastest 4wd. was a mint run, but i will have to say i have a soft spot for that pink R100 2 door wagon, i would own that car , it was so tidy, and went like a rocketship aswell was amazing.

i reckon they should bring over the HKS car next jambo and the heat treatment one and have a battle.... will be interesting.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
