I haven't heard yet, but have been too busy to ask.

I've annoyed Ben a fair bit lately asking about various changes, so one more "are we there yet" and it will probably come back in pieces, or worse making 140 KW.

Fingers crossed, accomm booked and leave pass organised.... :D

"Hi Ben, it's BBGTR here, is my car ready yet is my car ready yet?"

"140kw at the wheels you say? uhh ok"

thats fine with me! then you'll never catch me!!!! :(

Well it's all coming together.....

Hi all

Just a quick note to let you know that I have received and accepted your entries for the Piarc October Sprint,

Thank you for entering and I will see you on the Saturday and Sunday morning.

Gates open at 7am on Saturday and 8am on Sunday.

Regards

Theresa Ford

Everyone is dropping like flies! Aarons not making it, no idea if Jack is, Ben's obviously out as well. Haven't heard how Jesus is going either so I might yet have to wave the Vic skyline flag.

I WILL be there, brand new turbo sitting on Ben's desk ready to go in..... :D

Yep - I sent a bank cheque too... As did Fooey... Neither of us got a response.

Maybe they just took our cash and ran!?!?

No email either.

I sent a bank cheque so i wouldn't know if that went through either.

Andrew, was there a contact number on the confirmation email you received?

Good to see you'll be down there Archie. As Snowy said, no ph. number unfortunately.

Wind the boost into that big single mate, and I'll sit behind for a tow!

Regards

Andrew

Thanks Bec

I emailed Theresa so I'll wait to see if i hear from her.

Andrew

LOL hardly. I saw your car last weekend and I know she's sorted now so if anyones going to be sitting behind it'll be me >_<

Still, I would love to follow you around to see the differences between our cars.

Well my car is on the back-burner cause of PI this weekend and the need to get a number of cars ready :sorcerer:

Not like i need it in a hurry anyhow lol.

So there should at least be a few going >_<

Yeah I got the same email yesterday, and I stated on the form that I'll pay cash on the day...

My car is finished and ready to go!!!!

Now with (a little) more power....

Can't wait to do another full track day...(fingers crossed)

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
