pretty cool hey... sctv production did an awesome job with the fades etc.

did it run with the interview from weeksie about the lambos hitting each other or did it get cut in time?

savman - i'll post up the tassie date, shouldn't be far.

That wasn't me with an Evo 5 or 6 all over it's bum! I had three people ring and ask me what was holding me up! LOL

Stu, when's the DVD gonna be available (I'm assuming the tv telecast was a cut version?), it was a good production! :(

FYI, 7HD went crazy and dropped out for a minute or so when Mozz's fat guts were on show @ Prologue

Oh yes! LOL, it ran in alllll it's glory. "...... I didn't see the finish line" hahaha

wonder why he wouildn't have slowed when his nav said "Flying finish"??? hahahahaha :(

Yes, HD.

And I agree on the same shots being re-used. I would have thought that with the constant whinges from competitors who don't see their cars that NO footage would have been used twice for "filler".

Marlin - Not sure of actual date yet, but would say mid/end-July.

phunky - your right repeted shots is frustrating, but time is always a problem as the production crew were stretched.

O that wasnt you holding the Evo up before a break then not sure if i sure your car then.

super slowmo close up, can't complain! The doco was 100x better than last years (which IMO was the worst one ever)

is the dvd doco going to be differnt than the tv one? (like it was a few years ago)

would have liked to see weeks footage from paradice :D . We almost did the same, didn't see the FF or the flashing lights, the stopped cars were a give away though.

  • 2 weeks later...

just watched the special features proof disc. pretty cool with 3 to 4 shots of each car in the field, plus a heap of incar and profiles from both classic and modern field.

there is also a summary of results and the nightly tv news packages from each day.

further to all that there is also a short profile on the r35 and an interview with driver tony alford, as well as full length incar of the fast harford stage.

will advise a release date shortly.

Whats with the sig Ben...

Have Evo Brembos but not sure ife the PCD of the mount is the same. Also DMS shox although your mates with Fulcrom aren't you.

You drive a "T" like the R34 and it will shake a lot up... And the RB20... you'll love em.

Good luck. PS Also have springs too lots of springs!

G'day Greggy!

I'm not sure whether Evo Brembos will bolt on? Maybe Brisby the 32 guru could chime in here? I found the car has a near new set of APEXi coil overs in it, which to my suprise actually feel like they'll be pretty good. Last weekend's test day at Winton showed it to have pretty good traction and was really fairly tidy all round. It even rode the curbs fairly well but I'm still interested to see how much travel it's actually using.

I'm really looking forward to getting it out onto a tarmac stage, I think a little 32 could really shake up a few if I can refrain from having too much fun and driving it sideways everywhere :banana:

Rex Broadbent is awefully quick though :thumbsup:

Yeah, end of Day 1 2005 there was one sitting 13th outright. :(

GTS-t is one of the most forgiving, easy to drive fast cars you will ever sit in... I regret letting minego to that useless Rocket - just as the rules came round to suit them even more.

and to rub salt into the wound, he took a snap of us this year with the old girl in the back ground!

Not sure you will run with the RSR in the dry, but you'll hose him in the wet.

Anyhow, I'm all emmotional now...

Winton, what are you doing down there... I thought you were a Queenslander?

    • 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.
