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, 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!

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.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
