Hey, don't worry about brakes, they only slow you down!

Come on everyone! We get very few full days at EC on a weekend, this is probably the only one all year.

How about a BBQ fatz? You can do helis afterwards on the grass :D

Duncan is right... not too many happen on a weekend at all... usually reserved for the bikes!

In fact this is THE LAST CHANCE to do a FULL DAY track day at Eastern Creek THIS YEAR!!!

I hope I get this issue with my car sorted by then.

Dan.

Count me in, a friend just bought a 300kw 200SX that does 1:50s around Eastern (Prick). Another friend may be bringing his RX7.

Ill get them to confirm with me by weeks end if they are coming. The RX7 is about 95%, the 200SX needs to convince his wife that the new car needs its legs stretched.

Ill see you on Sunday, approx time ?

Whats the prob with the car? Im still waiting for my Power Fc!

looking forward to giving the 'R a thrash.. :D

Me too :)

We might have to let down the tyres on the 200sx though!

Also, $180 is pretty cheap for 8 hours at the track.

If Derek can scrape together the coin to drive then he will be doing it on road rubber, the previous owner ran Duncan's fav tyre to get those times. Either way he will be a long way from those times until he gets to know the car and that type of speed.

Duncan you may remember the car, as it was at a Motoconcepts day last year, white, Alcon brakes, Kevlar Recaro, was hammering with you and the black Porsche in Group A. Hung out with us Nissan guys in the pits.

Dino,

Have fun... was good to know ya!!!

Brendan,

I'm always looking for some help with things... this one should pretty much run its self... the car issue is a rather loud now tapping as I boost up issue... mechanic thinks it could be a cracked piston... but suggested to get a second opinion. I'll take it to a import (skyline) specialist soon.

Interested parties:

Duncan

Kel

akira

Prank

Roy

Derek Roy's mate (needs coin)

Carlo (claims he needs breaks... but the smart money says the track bug will get him!)

Fatz (For BBQ and Heli's on the grass)

Majanal (If I get the car sorted in time)

Well that is 5 definate and 4 maybe's... tis a start... URINE... are you coming? Bonkers? and what about Gonads? OZ, haven't seen you in a while? Zane you neither?

I can't believe that it is Tuesday and we haven't got 15 people looking for a spot yet. Did I mention that this is a public holiday?

Dan,

Definitely have the need for speed and really need to dust out the high speed cobwebs but can't confirm attendance yet. I may be settling on my house on the 6th June which means I'll be moving gear around that weekend. If settlement gets pushed back then I am there with bells on ( no, not literally!! ). I'll finalise my house stuff asap and get back to you before the 19th.

As for Oz, he's still waiting on his PFC replacement so I doubt he'll want to risk getting beat by GTST's. Maybe we can provoke him out from under his rock.

Z.

    • You're already well into "gearbox is a consumable" territory there. A billet plate will either make it (effectively) 1% stronbger or make it last one more pass. At some point you'll probably tear 3rd gear into small chunks and regret all the life decisions that came before it.
    • ..and forum.r31skylineclub has been down all week....anyone know why?
    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
