yeah, not needed for this, but as ports says it's a good idea anyway as there are no marshalls at these days which means if your car catches on fire all you'll be able to do is stand there and watch it burn.

i reccomend the BFI 1kg one. if puts out 4 times as much "stuff" as the other 1 kilo ones I've seen and owned.

so johnny, are you going to take off your slippers and come out? If I can drag my battle scared GTR out, surely you can wheel out the love boat for a play?

I was talking to Jason this morning and he reckons you are a bit scared of his GTR, but you should come out anyway just so he can show you the lines etc.

That is gold the slippers and the cardigan. GTR Jason is on the phone giving me a rev as we speak. You guys are sort of going about it the wrong way though. Try angle that Zeds are boats and drivers can't drive and they just look good.

i was going to try the all show no go line, but for that to work your car would have to be good looking...

but I guess at least if you come out I wont be the slowest guy on the track.

like I always say, if you can't be the part, look the part. and I certainly look the part...

I am 90% sure that I will be there tomorrow.

For those going, come and say Hi, even though I don’t drive a Skyline. It will be my first time on this track, so would be keen to pick up some tips and suggested lines.

Dam - sounds like a good day - wish I could make it :laugh:

So tempting but simply too hard and can not go. Got way too much on with getting new shop ready and dyno room for this Sat SAU dyno day. Would love to come out and chop GTR Jason again, well at least give it a good go. Also preping car for Circuit Battle next week at Wakey. Sounds like a great bunch of candidates going and perfect weather and conditions too. Ports and maybe Wizard my Zed buddies I think are going and give these Skyline boys a run.

Top day it was good to streatch the legs of the GTR, and do it without loss of licence. Big day with respect to numbers, it was the fullest I have ever seen OP, still good value for $120!

See you all next time.

Apollo,

I will post up the insurance name once my friend gets back to me.

Thanks

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
