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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
