got my car serviced yesterday and while my car was on the hoist we found out that my right cv boot is blown and there was oil leaking everywhere... can i still run on the track with this condition?? (i couldn't find anyone who was willing to recondition my cv boot @3pm on saturday of long weekend... :) )

I will be there with Unique Zed with new R32 GTR diff 4.3 ratio which should be interesting as first time out with lots of changes. I think may run out of legs down the straight going from 3.7 diff ratio to 4.375. Will be good for Wakefield and Oran though. Weather looks like will be perfect and public holiday should be a big one.

Does the BBQ accept Green prawns and maybe some egg plant or only snags for the V and Coke drinkers?

Join the club with my speed limiter still in place :)

is there anyone just turning up hoping that someone will drop out so they can run on the track?

i *might* drop out thanks to the cracked right cv boot...

keyword : *might* ... i really wanna run this time coz 5 of my friends r running too... but if it doesn't look good, i might just have to drop out... and fix the damn thing for next track day on the 24th july...

This cold weather is giving me some trouble, noticed pinging earlier, been out and stuffed in some octane boost, hope that will sort it, first time I've tried it.

My track tyres were showing 18 psi after 5 kms from cold. So put them up to 36 psi, but might lower them again on the track. What kind of psi are most people running with 225/50/17s ?

About to take out the stero, shed a few kgs. Easier than going on a diet.

See you there ! can't wait !

Popped the bonnet to do an oil change today and found a half dozen or so well done snails on my rocker covers.

Might have to drive a little faster so these bastards can't catch me!

Pete - I'm up for helis as usual, you bringing the gtr or the PIMPMOBILE?

    • 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!
