I had Jic suspension in it and wound it right down.If you notice the pic it didn't even make it out of my carport.Thats as far as I could get it, so I took some photos and wound it back up.

51jay...good to hear your doing well in your beast,my old jigger is about to get a link computer and big cams and cam gears...should be scary.

The GTR's great other than bad attention (getting keyed) but overall it more than I expected..hoping to run a very low 12 next drags as I have only raced once with standard everything except boost resulting in a 12.665, now I have trust airfilters.hks dumps and fronts and 17psi so fingers crossed.You still a regular at broadwater..I'll probably come down for autosalon or jamboree.

Saw a nice black 4-door R33 parked in the Coronation Drive parking bay on Sunday Afternoon, facing the river, it still had numbers painted on the back left window like he'd been to the drags / sprints on the weekend? Was that anyone here?

Yeah, I live in St Lucia, and used to have a Wine Red R33 which I have since sold, but still see heaps of Skylines around St Lucia / the Uni.

Cheers,

Simon

hehe thought so - I was still driving around on Sunday with the number "5" painted on my car too - I figured you'd pulled over to talk on the phone or something, but upon refletion I guess it would be a nice place to have lunch!

If I see you around the streets of St Lucia I'll throw you a wave. I live near the Taringa end of Swann Road, but play various sports down at UQ, as well as shopping etc at the village fairly often.

I take it 382 GZV is your rego? I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Cheers,

Simon.

G'day Steve,

Yep - it's a 1996, 3.2 litre (the 236kw version) but no, it's not the SMG; It's a 6-speed manual.

Yep - it's a lot of fun and certainly seemed to enjoy a good hard run around the track (just as much as it loves a nice run up Mt Glorious or Mt Mee) and I will definitely be giving it another run at the next Sat Arvo Sprints (june 21st).

I was getting 1:04's on Saturday, but I was making a lot of errors in the infield / slower sections (the crossovers) where I was having trouble picking a good line and then getting out of the corner smoothly. It is something that will come with experience I'm sure, and just due to my inexperience with the car... I hadn't driven the M3 on the track before, and I am sure I will improve a bit as time goes by. (I'm also doing a driver training day at Queensland Raceway on June 8th which should be interesting).

But yeah, the car was great on the weekend. Very well behaved. I was able to run 1:04's and 1:05's, I didn't suffer any brake fade, was able to exceed 180km/h on the front straight and when I got back home to my driveway, I'd averaged 13.1 litres/100km for the entire day. Got to be happy with that!

Simon.

      I downloaded the apps (for windows) and Consult 1 doesn't have this function on it for the Consult 1 plug which I'm pretty sure all Skylines have. You would think someone would have a workaround after 30 years for all Skylines which have ABS.

      Also, I don't know the actual ABS system on the skylines, but a sneaky thing could be a piece of electronic equipment that makes the ABS think you're moving, and then same piece can send a signal for a locked up tyre... Activate ABS without slamming brakes...

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.
