Fantastic effort guys! ya did Oz proud. Also, given the budget & time constraints it's a testament to Aust'n tuning & build quality.

The UK contingent did great but were plagued with numerous problems, despite having the resources of a big local company backing them.

Results taken from the Time Attack UK site:

Great stuff guys, just shows that the local boys dont have the mortagate on engineering expertise or driver talent. Well done. I get the feeling that Richard might not be the only tourist there to cheer you guys on next year.

hey guys

i just want to thank you all for the congratulations! it was an awsome experience. i really ejoyed the racing and the people and the experience, the english lads were really nice too! we didnt get get on it with them as they had many late nights working on the cars!

just reading what sydneykid was saying, it is absolutely correct tyres really cost us!! but all experience learned , the car had a 58 in it on these tyres but required more time in the last session (only 10 minutes & slow cars on track meant four quick laps and couldnt get tyre temp)

all things going well we will be back there next year ( in the r34) with a car that runs 50 flat or better on the sprint at qr and sub 1 minutes at wakefield on semi's, that has to be the new goal!

i will post some pics on incar tonight hopefully when i have had a rest, just flew in this morning.

marks already got his head under the bonnet of a gtr back here! :) , we have heaps of ideas!

i cant say enough what a cool trip it was to go to the nismo festival(huge! i think i saw over seventy gtr's, 4 gtr 400's in a row on the road while eating breakfast before heading to fuji and the track setup would have been two to three times the size of eastern creek!!) and then tsukuba which is not a big track but very up close and personal with some very very special cars!! rocommended to all

jdm car freaks.

i would also like to thank the people who helped us with knowledge and products, the car was a reliable bullet and we couldve done fifty laps around there in one session, i think we would be the only ones that could say that!

p.s we didnt see the american subaru there and the hks evo was still on its way back from buttonwillow in the states (where it kicked there asses!), the driver of the hks evo jumped the uk evo and managed a sub 1 minute for that car.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
