Anyway, the rwd class looks like its going to be a hoot next year >_< and good work NickR33 punching out a PB. To the best of my knowledge thats the quickets street tyre time for a Skyline/Silvia etc

The RWD class should be a blast next year, can't wait! Everytime I go to the track and I'm not driving I die a little on the inside...

The new engine should be starting to get put together soon enough :P

But I think I'm going to need some bigger brakes... >_<

Ps Dont worry Ferni, tEh GT-r cAn NeVAr LoOSe! I'm gonna have to get some tacks that drop from the rear of the car Bond-style to stop you guys!

Dont worry, whilst they are going fast we can...um always drink. You can find solace in the bottom of that bottle. You just have to be willing to look in the bottom of a few of them if you dont find it in the first:)

And new SAU Stubbie Holders in the works. So far there is only 3 R33 GTRs and an R34 GTR that get one :P

ok, here's my plan:

1. You drink your way through 4 bottles of Whiskey

2. Give me the empty bottles

3. Hit unsuspecting cheaters over the head with said bottles

4. Happy dance and GT-R's for us

What do ya say?

My dad gave me some great advice. He sat me down and said...

"Troy, you're not the greatest mind going around. Your only chance is to know smart ppl and ride on the back of their success"

...and you know what Dane, that is a great idea. Im pretty sure Diminished Capacity is still a credible defence in court :yucky:

Hey, worst case scenario we plead temporary insanity when the times go up, they'll understand. If they don't, well, drink another bottle and we'll hit them aswell.

Jesus Dane. You have some seriously violent tendencies...you need to have a long hard look at yourself, odds are you will only realise that you are right and they are wrong. I keep telling my therapist she is off the reservation and needs help. I think its pent up sexual frustration, i think she wants to sleep with me :)

Ferni, Nah, got that sorted as well. There is going to be some others for us normal ppl as well so that we can enjoy a coldie over xmas.

Question is who wants a long neck holder :rofl:

Yeah, I have to keep up this violent facade, how else am I going to prove insanity?? Slapping yourself in the face only works so many times... perhaps I shall run around in circles screaming 'whoop whoop whooooooooop' to strengthen my case.

Geez didn't know going fast gives you celebrity status around here!!!! :)

Problem is I have big shoes to fill now, the pressure is on to go fast at every other track... uumm would you believe me if I said it was a fluke that I 'did a teen at Sandown'??? :O

FINER6 - even though the stig looks like his doing it with ease, the helmet doesn't show the true emotion of going that fast... ;)

Not the point Stig. You went out there the week after you were kicked badly in the balls. You had fun and you happened to improve massively on your PB. You only ever hope to go quicker then you did last time. But thats not always possible. Anyone that has done a few days knows its hard to always go quicker. Those that have done plenty know its enough to have not broken somethin on the car

can someone tell me what the kick in the balls was all about there, stiggy boy?

Basically I did 1 flying lap for the day, spark plug tip decided to break off and have a party with the piston...

All fixed now... :)

Congrats Jack, thats bloody quick!..!

Nick, well done! are you running semi's next year?? Juzz is keen to stay on streets, and im thinking bout it.. need more rwds on streets if its to be a good competition :P

Nick was running Aziens (215 fronts and 615 rears I believe) which count as streets - just. They are by far the best street tyres you can get that aren't a full R Comp.

They last a long longer and are only slightly slower than R comps. They are a great comprimise tyre. Toyo make a similar tyre in the R1R's as well.

yep Azenis are the goods... I really like them and if I can afford to keep running them I will... I use them daily on the street as well so they get plenty of use but have stood up pretty well so far

haha so I will be the cheater in the 'standard rwd' class... except Bel and Juz you have lighter cars... I need more grip to stop the whale flying off the track into the tirewall due to its immense girth... or something

You'd be better off running RE55s as a daily driver tyre. They wear at about the same rate and are worth 2 seconds minimum per lap over the Azenis..

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
