How's that for a kick in the teeth as a surprise??

GTR700 and RH9 are racing at Heathcote this weekend!!!!

Dunno if they're racing on Sat or Sun but let's hope it's Sunday so we can see how the big boys do it!!

I'm hanging for this weekend more than ever. Let's just hope my car is ready to roll by then...

Everything is ready to go - the BFG Drag Radials have been put onto the BBS alloys and they are now on the car. The car looks even better now. Cool. The new wider slicks have also been delivered and have been put onto their rims. We've also got another 2 barrels of ELF race fuel, and that was all we were waiting for, we are all set.

The new BBS is now online. As it is hosted inside the performanceforums.com BBS, you will be required to join it if you wish to post. As they are well moderated, we believe that is the best way to ensure that the moron content that plagued the previous test board doesn't return.

Hopefully the next update I post will be something for me to be proud of... This is not to say that everyone involved in this project shouldn't be, they've done more than was asked of them. Jim, Theo, Daniel, Simon, Matt, and Josh have all worked very late nights and harder than ever to ensure that the cars were ready on time for this weekend - even when issues came up that were not of their doing, they persevered and made it happen. I'm pretty sure that I even saw a bead of sweat on Jim's forehead (we need to check the video evidence to substantiate that, so it is un-official for now... :D

Update:

May 30, 2003 - [email protected]

RH9: Well we are racing this weekend. RH9 stage 1 / 2 is now complete. Thank you once again to Jim, Daniel, Simon, Josh and Mat for their hard earned work which has now completed the next stage. I would also like to thank Russell Clarke from Heathcote Raceway for making this weekend possible for our test and tune. The last things to happen are bonnet restraints which will be done today and the sticker set up on the car which will also be done this morning.

Jim tuned RH9 last night to run NOS and lets just say that we made over 500kw's at all 4 wheels in 5th gear with 11,400nm of torque. This thing will be a ****'n handful to keep in a straight line. Watching RH9 come on boost is something that only a few of us saw in the flesh last night at about 11pm on the DYNO. Yes I have heaps of videos of the tunning and power runs. This weekend we are off to Heathcote to better our time of 10.81. Thanks to Andrej, the Hollinger gearbox is now well run in and just needs to be treated like a dirty bitch. The harder and rougher you are with it the better it will perform.

I am hoping the motor holds together, if it does I am sure we will make a few people envious. At this stage we are hoping for a 9.99 or better. If RH9 runs a 9 second pass my next update will be a great feeling to upload.

Thank you once again to the team at CRD. Fingers crossed we will be in the RH9 club by Monday morning.

racing goes for like 5 hours in total, have a few runs then watch for a while, or the other way round :O

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
