Recommended Posts

Bah!@Stockies.

I'll be out there on my good tyres, I didn't tear the last set up overly much at all especially from what everyone was saying. Although, I DID flat spot them from locking up. One thing I have to avoid this time... :)

Although Owen, you'll scrub on your guards, mine did the first time I was out, but now won't due to being raised!!! :domokun:

Haha you do remember how overley big Owens wheels are for his car.. they will stuff the car up for sure..

Owen, borrow a set of stockies..

there wont be much more benefit from having wider tyres as the track is half wet and dry.

if u have stockies it would prob be best to just use them and no need to worry...

The thing is the tyres arent just wide.. they are too big for the car.. silly people putting massive gtr wheels on gtst's :domokun:

And having one wheel sit an inch outside of the guard!

I know how big they are, they basically sat how mine used to. Just one of his tyres sits outside the guard for some frakked up reason...

Edit: Nismo: Twas only joking, was all part of the fun... :)

Edit2: I'll most likely be out with stockies on the rear too... Fronts will be good tyres.

J's car will have the other two of my "new" stockies...

yeah i thought my car doesnt roll, and it doesnt lol. but when you spin, trust me it will roll. the photo of me spinning shows exactly that... the back is dead flat but front wheels have moved so much, i couldnt beleive it there must have been some nice twisting action lol

the track is not really wet, it just has a river through it the rest was dry. stock wheels are the go if you have some with rubber

  • 2 weeks later...

um neither. its off the screen, below the sheds. you drive in past the sheds, turn right at scrutineering (you dont line up, just go paston their left) and head down past the hillclimb things

this has taken ages to come around....been looking forward to the day for ages now....fingers cross it wont be as hot as last time.....we all died in the heat and alot got sunburnt....

yeah your right its taking ages, but i bet despite sitting here like leyton hewitt (come on!!) i still wont be ready for it til the night before. all i gotta do is change the oil lol but you know.

yep droping oil this weekend, do a service it i think.....havent changed the spark plugs on a skyline yet.....anyone know the easiest way to get in their? havent tried yet, is the plastic cover hard to get off?

Also the plastic guards are under the oil filter, anyone know a trick way to change the oil filter withour droping oil onto the plastic? cant clean that up and will drop oil everywhere when i drive and on the driveway.

what sparkies should i get? can you just go to repco and ask for r33 skyline, cause its an import do they stock the parts?

Prob should have put this in the right section to get an answer...oh well too lazy....

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
