Haunted hills! ive seen footage of that track, looks the goods! I'll eventually head up there oneday but really need semi-slicks as road tyres just dont cut it haha. I'll give protek a call and get a price sorted.

Actually HH is one of the places that semi's don't really provide the advantage that they should due to the fact that they don't get up to temperature. I would probably rate the grip from semis at the same level as a top notch set of road rubber.

I was meant to head to winton today for an open practice (took the day off work) only to find that I had no power to my coilpacks :P so this arvo had to rewire it straight from the battery.. looks pretty ghetto, but it does the job ;) . Theres an alfa romeo track day being held this sunday so i might head out and give the ol girl a run (but dont really want to pay $110 to join that club.. :P

As Ant said, streets are ok for HH and better than any other track I'd say. I did it in the Clubbie on road tyres and it was still fun.

That sucks about not being able to go to Winton, cars always like to throw things at you last minute!

Just a question.

When you say you wired the coils direct to the battery, do you mean via a relay or direct as in direct?

If so wouldnt they be "on" all the time and burnt out / cause the battery to go flat?

nah not yet Brad, was going to let Duncan have a steer @ wakie but never got around to it!

I'd be surprised if even the best drivers could get an extra second out of it, you are pedalling it very well. Just need to get a little more comfortable dealing with corner exit understeer and cut the corners/ripple strips a little more and you will be bang on the pace - good driving.

yeah baby!! have you given up on trying to kill yourself on a trike? lol

man it will be fun. how about a steer? the deal is if I can fit in it I get to have a go!? it would be a great piece of gear. still rotor power?

interesting ride troy...what does it look like in clothes? and what on earth is it (supersports?)

gtir is interesting option too, how does it fare in ipra? I am afraid of anything with turbos in 3j

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
