On Saturday morning I went out to QR to watch Russ and Mark test a few bits and pieces on their R32 which is being prepared for the Tsukuba Time Attack at the end of the year. Even though they haven't got the race donk or suspension in the car yet, it is going like a bullet. Looks awesome in the flesh - black on black - carbon doors and 10"rims all round running 285/18's. For a car that has to runs semi's it is farken quick -really impressive to watch.

Mark is quite a wheel man - coming through the inside corner on the national circuit and rounding 6 onto the straight were a sight to behold.

Good on ya guys.

Farken awesome. :)

Yeh i was there also and got to watch their 32gtr, christ it is bloudy fast, and will only be faster when the new motor and suspension goes in.

mark sure knows how to steer the car well, was a great morning to watch.

Yeh, car was going good till we blew the turbo. Some rubber bits blocked the oil feed and it ceased the turbo from an obvious lack of oil. That sucked cause i needed the practice on the sprint track for the state championship rd in two weeks :happy: But we found another gt35r to use on sunday thanks to Daniel - elite racing man!

Arhhh nice work, I have not seen this car in ages.

Your attention to detail and setup made me foam at the mouth at first sight, Ive never seen a GTR this modified in Australia before. :D

Love to see the updated pics, and wish you the best of luck over in the land of the rising sun. :thumbsup:

Would have been good to see. Have seen this thing at the wide bay sprints a couple years now. Very very quick car, seems to work well in the 'old' guise.

Was down in ipswich at the kart track saturday morning/lunch, saw quite a number of skylines going past towards qld raceway.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
