On a side note I see Jeff Beaumont is on the entrants list.

This will be a good chance to see just how quick a well sorted EVO is in the hands of a decent steerer. This is the car Jeff will be doing the up-coming Lake Mountain Rally and this years Dutton Rally National Championship in.

On a side note I see Jeff Beaumont is on the entrants list.

I am looking forward to seeing this in action. The guys were putting the finishing touches too it last weekend when I took my car in.

500bhp, are you sure? Jeff was estimating 300kw which is just over 400bhp.

Roy came over last night in the white VII and I came up with the idea of car sharing for tomorrow. I use his wheels, he uses my car and offers driver training. Will make the final decision in the next hour or two I think. $$ are a little close at the moment which is why I am slightly hesitant. :(

I will still be there either way though to watch.

That makes sense but is a huge loss between fly and wheels

My car has a quoted 160kw at the engine std. Throw them on a rollign road and they struggle to make 100rwkws. So for a rwd manual they have about 50-60rwkws of drivetrain losses. So on an AWD car with east-west engine layout i would not be surprised if there is another 10-15kws of losses?????

Anyway, whatever power its making it will most likely be a brisk car....what am i talking about? Its a complete and running car which is better then anything i have at the moment :(

It is 11:52 pm just finished installing bigger front sway bar and put a new radiator in after mine decided to leak badly from the top tank seal.

It did a full day @ winton no problem then all of a sudden it died, anway picked up a new one from work and the car trailer and she will be up and running in the morning.

Man soo many track virgins and i am one aswell (to circuit sprint that is)

hope the weather stays dry >_<

damn wish i had of noticed this thread [or the other one]... i would have definitely joined in to accompany the rest of the first timers!

might come watch though. i'm in for the next one.

weather report i got this morning says around 50mm is expected this afternoon for the western and eastern districts. sorry for the bad news.

lets hope the weather guys are wrong like usual and we get that rain tomorrow

    • 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.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
