Day was awesome big props to Paragon even though he drives a silvia :)... and also Derrick he gave me some pointers through out the day and by the end i was actually able to do some of them lol

By the 3rd one i was carving up (personal opinion :P) hehe you were right though a tap of the hand brake down the end there just kept it going was unreal. Look forward to doing it again in the future...

I still have not washed my car i figure i had better go to car lovers when management is not around. (we still can't wash our cars at home can we ???)

Of course you can't wash your car at home :D . The guy at car lovers did give me a strange look lol :). Still have to go over my car, have been using waterless wash, will use that to finish my car off.

Anyway was a Great day as always, looking forward to the video :happy:

good fun. I am aiming to go next time without smashing my front bar.

bought a new set of tyres after dorifto and the dumb ass "misplaced my hub centric rings and also assured my 235's would not scrub.... THEY DO!!!!!!!

now i will have to get 3mm spacers and have some more hub centric rings made...

I know i should have waited and gone to see mark at discount tyres but i did not like the idea of driving on completely bald tyres for a week.

It was really good to meet all of you and everyone was doing so well. the day is so much better with all nissans. Honestly you guys are much better drivers than all the other riff raff that are there on the open days :)

I was sure I couldn't anyways just that I spotted this on the actew website

General Exemptions

Water can be used to wash a vehicle's windows, mirrors or lights, and for spot removal of corrosive substances, and then only with a bucket or watering can filled directly from a tap (not by means of a hose).

I would classify the amount of shit on my car as being corrosive substances although it is not really a spot removal it would be a full wash hehe

Anyways I have the best idea I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner... THERMOS... safest way to get hot water down to the car wash and it at least cleans it up nicely.

Of course you can't wash your car at home :happy: . The guy at car lovers did give me a strange look lol :).

Hey all, Josh here!

Yeah have just looked over the raw footage, and u give r speedstars woot! I'll make a 30 sec vid clip that u guys can view, and from there we can figure out DVD copies + raw footage. Awesome day guys - good job on track, although I don't recommend filming inside a car, as generally stability isn't an option (and I REALLY like stability when I film haha!).

couldn't believe you got in the car wit the camera!! must have been crazy..

yeah, my car kinda clean.. still needs some TLC..

thrid time on the pan, and feeling like my skillz going backwards >_< not sure what's up with that..

must try and make it up to wakefield with Derreck one day.. he seems pretty good I think..

I can't believe I didn't come, sounds like you guys had a great day, and alot of awsome cars were out there. Next time I'll be there paragon :laugh:

P.S hey everyone, its Reece

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
