so how did it go?

:thumbsup:

hahaha yeah that was an awesome day. My car was out of action, so MattR and I sat up in the commentary box doing stupid commentating and getting drunk :(

That is by far the best way to do it. Works out to under $100 per person, and you get to do shitloads of runs all day long. We ran out of cars to run and finished early even that day. And cars like Munro's race car and the GT S15 and R34 could come out for some test and tune. Only drawback on those organised type days is it is always only 1 lane - so you can't actually race other cars - which sucks ass, as that is half the fun IMHO.

I vote we organise an inter-club grudge match at a street meet when the track reopens - so we can challenge other cars and whip their asses. Especially the Evo guys who like to think their little Mitsi's are better than Skylines ROFL :wacko:

1 lane would suck very much, just like doing the tango my yourself :laughing-smiley-014:

and yes, dragging against other clubs would be more fun, LS1, evo.. ooo

heaps, its the clutches you go through if you launch properly ...

got myself a sexy nismo twin plate, so it should hold :thumbsup:

damn i hope its going to be happening, cant wait

Brad Fox from adelaide clutch services says the twins dont last that long they just hold more power but the actual ceramic on the clutch plates is alot thiner but theres 2 plates with more pressure thats why they hold more power

Xtreme's single's don't last all that long.. 30-40,000km's before I started to notice mine slipping.

It managed 60,000km's before it was completely stuffed and I don't give it a hard time at all. I don't ride it and treat it the way a ceramic should.

Bl4ck32's OS Giken twin had as much usable meat as my xtreme 9 puk. Maybe the aussy brand twins are not all that crash hot in the longevity department?

hahahah lol - in my S15 I did 85,000km before I sold it - the stock clutch lasted 40,000km (then I did upgrades to 200rwkw), next the single plate Exedy lasted 15,000km, next a twin plate Exedy lasted 15,000km (and was absolutely horrible to drive), and lastly the extra heavy duty single plate organic Exedy was pretty much rooted when I sold the car.

200kmph in a 60 zone isnt recomended, yet all the comodore drivers still persist in trying to proove there worth.

bring on the sau vs the rest drag comp.

I was just speaking to Todd at Outlaw speed shop. Drag's won't be happening till AT LEAST next year. This was from a guy who spoke to the Manager of the track I believe. I asked if delays were still over the court case and not spending money, and aparently it is no longer the ownership court case that is causing NO money to be spent, but Bob Jane's divorce procedings. Bob has sweet FA money, and she wants half, so this is causing him to spend nothing on anywhere, as he may now lose them to his wife or have to sell them.

So there you go, rhumor mill worked overtime again :D

      R35 GT-R production ends after 18 years

      By Rezz · Posted

      Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By MBS206 · Posted

      21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
