Hey guys,

Considering doing one of these in my V35, but the question i have is, is it worth it on an auto?

My other problem is that there is no handbrake, but a foot park brake instead.

Any thoughts?

I've seen a couple of guys go out and do this day in an auto. You shouldn't have a problem just stick in the lower gears.

I have noticed alot of people, including me don't use the hand break. There is a neater way to get around to not using it and Boz and the boys can show you either way.

Cheers,

Corinne

it was fun, i need pics and videos 2. still waiting from the first one ofr pics lol.

there is one set of pics up already over on autosprts website, but we should put some on here as i will find it easier :P

The Z4? your kidding.Even tho i didnt partake in the activities it was great to poke fun at the silvia drivers (wannabe drifters) it seems if they see it on TV then they must be able to do it themselves.

Eug. Great to see your car up close. Pumping 300kw out of a 2835 at 1 bar is awesome.Will definately be out there for the next one.

Hurry up and organize the next one Corrine :P

That was awesome fun. didn't think a rebuilt a rebuilt diff would help some much. So much better than lighting up the inside wheel.

Thanks again Eugine for letting me have a go of your car and sorry about busting the belt buckle, I do get a little excited in a powerful car lol.

I almost won the shootout but i did win turbo rear wheel drive class by a decent amount and i think i will be going to number four to. i have a little bit of footage from the day but not much of anybody but me and my mate in the white 180.

craig did u end up going?

how was it?

yep.

was a blast.i think next time though i will go out with some decent sized rubber on the rear.i had the stockers on.good to get the tail out and keep it there on the limit but not so good if you are after times..the funny thing was,that i never new that every stage was going to be timed untill i got there..good times..

i liked the shoot out at the end of the day.was definantly a highlight of the day.

you broke the belt buckle.poor eugene.see why i never let you drive mine..nah just kidding.im a bit paranoid when it comes to other people driving my car josh.they have crashed it before.and it is allways in the back of my mind.you should have heard your gf giving you props on your "accidental slideing" out on the road when in the wet.she says you hold it like a pro.hehe.

i might come out of retirement for this one....the first skidpan day this year was dominated by skylines, the top 3 rwd turbo were skyline, 2 r33 S2, one R33 4 door. I took out the class.....

but im in the AWD class now, gotta mix it with the big boys....

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
