FYI, anyone in the area stick your nose in if you are interested. Ferrari track day with a few GTRs and WRXs in the mix.

Aaron,

Who's going to be out there? Gt-R and WRX wise - I'll come out and have a look.

Regards

Andrew

Andrew,

Have a look Here for the WRX guys, Looks like Blair Strik, Grant De la Rosa and Simon Walsh are there.

Andrew, there will be at least four GTR's out there... quick ones too!!! :)

I'll be there...

Good work.

If the WRX event wasn't so close I would have ran. I'm looking to get into the 4's and match my old STi time.

See you out there.

Regards

Andrew

Calder was Great!!!

Although i didn’t stay long had a ball

HUGE thanx to Aaron for taking me for a Spin around Calder was SUPER COOL!!!!!

White 34's FLY!!!!!

Also had my suspicions answered that a skyline WILL go faster than a Ferrari Even the F40 :)

Great work guys!

bugger about the rain. it was turning out to be a great day with plenty of track time available to everyone.

The GTRs may be faster but I reckon a few of those Ferraris would have been quick if the owners were willing to risk their million dollar rides. The F50 and F40 were very sweet looking machines. Love how fat and low they are.

The F40 and F50 looked awesome, although their performance was a little dissapointing... Oh well, I guess I wouldn't wanna put my million dollar machine into the wall, like the 360 challenge did...

I have incar footage of me overtaking both of them in the same session...

Unfortunately its recorded onto one of those mini cassettes, wouldn't have a clue how to get it onto my computer.. :)

Just played it on my tv, list of cars overtaken in this session:

1. F50 (coming ontp the straight)

2. STI (back straight)

3. F40 (going into last turn, oops, shouldn't overtake while cornering!)

4. WRX (coming onto straight)

5. 355 SPYDER (which actualy put up a fight on the straight, got him into turn 1)

Might see if I can record it onto my dvd recorder, then get it onto disc, then copy to computer...

So was the event cancelled, due to rain? Was good to come out for an hour and witness the Skylines eat up all rivals in their wake :D.

Spent the rest of the day assembling IKEA bedroom furniture for the spare bedroom; what great fun :nuke:.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
