yes, big aussie flag or bust. hmm, or maybe a boxing kangaroo... that could be a winner.

Fkn newbies.

Proper Orstraylean cars are racing green with a gold stripe down the middle.

Just like German cars are silver, British cars are British Racing Green, French cars are blue, Italian cars are red. I am quite certain it has always been this way & always will. Otherwise how do you know where they come from?

:rofl:

That's all I have.

i can third the big flag too....aussie pride and spirit.

if - i mean WHEN - you come back to QR you should do it too! :ermm:

we should all do it!

ps did any of you see the pics from the "save lakeside" thing? anyone see the painted BMW lolz

ill find a pic and post it up

Just saw that Giant will be taking his R32 to race in the Rev Zone Time Attack at Tsukuba in dec

Big congrats

Brad

that will be interesting - here's a bit of a comparison to start the speculation:

Tsukuba is 2070m 8 corners, including 3 hairpins.

QR Clubman is 2110m 6 corners in total including 2 hairpins. Giant's best is 58.08.

Tsukuba looks alot more technical than QR Clubman (judging by my vast Gran Turismo 3 / PS2 experience!). So all the best to the Queenslanders! Will be an awesome experience for them! Hopefully we'll be able to see it on a DVD!

hi gents!

thanks for the support with Japan! i hope all goes well , BTW Mark will be driving over there ( i will be having a run but he will be doing the time attack)

also i will try and keep you upto date with whats happening down the track, we have purchased an r34 gtr to be setup for time attack for next year(for Japan) and hoperfully give it a real push!!

it will be an awsome machine(should be hear in about 8 weeks) it will completely stripped, full cage, carbon panels & dash, holinger, huge brakes (v8 super car spec), & light weight and minimum 850 horsepower! engine will be gt block full dry sump, low mount turbos, full counter weight crank (2.6) spinning to 9000.

fineline ,

i hope we get it out to qr soon for a test ( a lot to do though!! )

"I hope we get to see a couple of shakedown runs before it heads over. Go the Aussies! "

My intention is to get an Australian flag on the car , are you guys keen on the aussie flag on the roof?? ;)

I'll give ya a quick run down on latest details for our gtr r32 going over in six weeks or so, ( also dont want to get into any timing arguments but that clubman circuit time was set along time ago and the car has come along considerably since then)

we are using wakefield as the test track as we know it pretty well and are hoping to around 1.02 on semi's , mark has done 1.04:1 here so we will see

the car is getting a full cage at the moment and should be finished tomorrow (anyone want to by at bolt in cage that came out of it? andra approved)

painted next week

4 stage dry sump is in and ready for testing

new rims 10.5 inch te37's and 285 rubber! :D:thumbsup: soft and mediums ( we always have run hards in the past because thats all the lasts on duttons)

swedish ohlins suspension (to replace absolutely standard aussie spec tiens)

we have lightened the car by over 100kg!!! but cage will add 30kg final weight should be about 1350 kg

carbon doors , passenger seat gone, roof and rear interior trim gone, all seat belts gone , all uneeded wiring gone,

holinger transmission with flatshift ( this is not guaranteed yet)

trust diff covers

hypertune 6 throttle body inlet manifold

once the car has had an intial test with the new dry sump setup, to ensure all is okay the new engine will be fitted

gt block

tomei full counter crank and rods

mahle pistons

with an 8800 to 9000 rpm limit!!

all this has to be done in the next six weeks !

anyway i hope some of that is interesting and i hope we can go over there and get amongst it, i am sure it will be fantastic fun and hopefully can get a decent result( i would like to hope for a top 10 result and anything under a 57/58 second lap hehe)

cheers russ

btw went to Japan 4 weeks ago for the first time!! loved it, and was lucky enough to go through the tomei powered business which was fantastic! plenty of derive and genisis engines very very nice !

giant, nice to hear about your buildup. It will be a challenger im sure. :D

when are you heading over to tsukuba? Im stationed in tokyo and will be taking time off to come on down and support you guys. BTW, the flag on the roof would look great, definitely a standout and ofcourse one of the colloquial highlights for the locals to remember you by!

Aussie flag on the roof for sure Russ. Please keep us informed if you get the chance to get to qr, I live 5 minutes from the track and wouldnt miss the chance to see the beefed up version of the 32 doing some hot laps. Good luck with it guys. :D;)

Hey Russ sounds good mate I have finally got may cage done just have to mess around with the brackets to mount my seat and harness should get all my engine bits back from the machine shop next week and will then start putting it together.My dry sump set up is also just about ready as well so we will put one on Mattys car for testing first then is all go ill post some pics up of the build as it comes along soon.I was talking to Ian the other day and he is going to let me know the dates for japan to make sure we all get the same flights and so on will have to catch up with Mark and yourself soon mate.

hey mate

sound like your pretty close too!!

i reckon thats i good idea sticking the dry sump on his car first to make sure it works!!! hehe :laughing-smiley-014:

i will let ya know for sure, it will be blast!! thanks for your help too!

cheers russ seeya soon

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
