And finally I blew my front diff up on the 1st competative day over west and some boys put their hands up to help fix the car and when the garage was opened inside there was these 2 little toys. (Who knew there were so many R35's in Perth)

And super-cool spotting Snows. That's up there with the Ascari Ecosse (one of my QLD customers has one - 1 of only 9) as a ludicrously rare car to spot, not just in Aus but world-wide.

Big D - Pop in and visit Crazy Howard, he has a Mangusta in his shop and there are a few Longchamps around in Melbourne (I have seen 2x coupes and a spyder).

i know this isnt super... not even closely... but i was under the impression they werent released until the end of the year. I saw (about 3 months ago... didnt realise they werent released yet) one of those Cadillac CTS sedans in Endeavour Hills.

theyre actually quite nice.Also spotted this on ebay... thought it was quite a nice price http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Other-Makes...1QQcmdZViewItem

Geezus Audi are serious about attacking Porches market sector aren't they?

Good to see though. Saw my first on the GC yesterday with ISMINE plates. Very low and wide hipped. Makes it a very serious looking car.

So how was the drive Snowy? We had Mark and Russ show up at our recent Nissan Track day a couple of weeks back with the R35. I didn't see it run as I was in the same session that Russ took it on the paper clip and he pulled a 57s on the Sprint layout, with 4 wet corners a 1, 2, 4 and 5, and 1 inch of lying water between 3-4, on standard factory rubber. I think I'll have to hock the 40ft yacht off and get one. BTW this old cripple could only manage 1.01s in the same session.

Jeff we timed 2 laps - did a 1.50.0 and a 1.50.2. Apparently Christian Murchisan did a high 1.48 earlier in the week.

Not bad for a production car on street rubber (Pirelli P Zero). I sure as hell was impressed. Not to mention I did 40 laps in 2hrs and the car was still perfect at the end (brakes fine, water 90degs and oil 100degs)

FYI Christian did some hot laps in the RS4 which we timed at 1.55.2 - so the R8 is considerably quicker.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
