Firstly, it was great to meet the hard core vic guys, well done with making the trip up to NSW, its a long drive, but you did get to drive on a great track, and it was by far one of the best L2S's we have had this year. And by far the fastest and best turn out of Skyline mussel I have seen, you don’t get to see this many 300+ KW track GTR’s humming around every day.

We were lucky enough to get a nice warm but not too hot day. The rain stayed away except for a light spray at 4pm.

The garage I was in had 6 nice fast GTR's in it, this is the first time I have actually seen All GTR's without a GTS in sight. I think where was 10 GTR's on the day. 2 x R34's and about 5 x R33's and I think 3 x R32's.

The Vic boys had 3 GTR's all set up very nicely all with top suspension, great brakes and around 350kw at the wheels. The white R34 dropped a 1.45 and then 2 of the R33's did 1.47's. I came in 1 sec behind them at 1.48, and then the rest were all only a sec or two behind me. The Vic GTR's ruled the day. John held up the NSW banner by pushing the boat around at 1.43 which was his PB.

I would like to thank everyone for making it the best L2S day of the year. We only had one car in the CAR's group drop his load down the straight but once it was cleaned we had a great day.

I cant wait for the Vic trip next year, Im really keen to taste a few of those vic tracks.

See you all soon.

Was good to meet you and the rest of the NSW crew that came down Paul. Hopefully next time I'll have my car there rather than driving everyone elses.

If you come down for the Nationals we'll see what else we can set-up but like EC - PI is a track you'll need a day or 2 at to get your head around. So it might be better to come down for a PIARC weekend or something which runs 2 days in a row (Sat non-timed practise just like that EC day then Sunday is a full Sprint Day).

Winton is open most Fridays as well and is a tops little track.

Just remember you'll either need semi's or a cage down here though.

I'd be in for sure

Specially if led by the head of team track day ie Paul!!!

I will take that as a vote of confidence, I will be involved in making it happen, so hopefully it will be something worth going to!

SAU VIC pilgrimage here we come!

I had an ace time at EC - was actually concentrating on my driving rather than just f*cking about in the car (except when going past the cheer squad - go AYC, go!). FYI...

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
