Joel wants to do a photo shoot at Deca for this magazine feature he's putting together, thats the only reason.

I was thinking last night that there are plenty of pics of the car so maybe we could just photoshop me into the picture for the purpose of the article.

I am going to ask uniquecarsales.com.au for some more cash to keep the unique carsales on the car but everything else can now come off. The Yokohama will stay on too.

I can't wait to have it back to normal, I'm really sick of not being able to drive it anywhere.

Just some highlights from my photos taken.

A lot of my shots came out really dark, just crappy lighting or the flash wasnt doing its thing, or maybe drunk operator. anyhoo

Congrats to everyone who participated and those who volunteered their time to help out where they could.

I had a ball as usual. Buggered but fun none the less.

In the end, the dyno awards went to:

CDUKTV - Toyota Supra - 742rwkw

RH9 - R34 Skyline GTR - 662awkw

Benny's 180sx - 481 rwkw

CDUKTV and RH9 will most likely be at Final Battle along with the current record holder which is a Supra built by Millenium Motorsport in Brisbane which made 748rwkw on the gas to compete for the grand trophy.

It was only 18 months ago that 604awkw was the record. How times change...

Also congrats to SAU-VIC who scored a runner up trophy in one of the club categories.

Phew, i was gonna change my mind at the last minute and paint my 33 same colour, ive already "copied" your kit luckily i didnt do the same with the paint!! :)

Your car used to be silver yeah?

MissyK, is your car the RX8 with the EZZY plates? Any relation to the Astina?

Man i loved that car back in the day!

My rx8 is the red 1 with MISSSK.

EZZY plates on the orangy RX8 belongs to Ezzy Astina's owner :O

Yep yep, hes my best mate. He couldnt make it this weekend, hes back in Syd, so I had fun with his car. His astina still exists... in bits and pieces in his garage :)

MissyK owned the red RX8 next to the EZZY RX8. The EZZY car is owned by a good friend of hers.

And yea, the same EZZY as with the astina back in the day.

sorry John, just saw ur reply lol

Ezzy nowadays is my 'advisor' hahahhaha

In remembrance of EZZY ASTINA, we put the EZZY plates on the 8 :)

Thanks to all involved for a superb weekend. Ash for organising along with Paul for his help also. Scott for the sign boards (that I am happy to spell check for you next time mate :))

All in, a great weekend with lots of laughs and Brisby as usual being the icing on the cake :)

    • 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.
