Hope the enthusiasm doesn't wear off. I'd certainly like to see an event organised by our two clubs.

We're going to be at Shannon's Wheels Expo this year. If nothing eventuates before, we can use that show to have a discussion and try to set up some sort of agenda.

I organised a joint supra skyline event before, went down really well (but it was the sydney guys)

Its fun to race your mates, but its more fun to race new mates :wave:

No, no.. you keep your fuse plugged in... Hate to see those training wheels come off >_<

I'm looking forward to our little 3 round comp too. I noticed the dyno day thread but it looks like we may not be invited.

LoL, no fuse to pull out... I have a switch in the car... Training wheels on a switch with a turque controller, just to make sure the training wheels work to there very best. :banana:

Then make a dyno day and invite me. :D I will come and get my ass handed to me :w00t:

Can be 2wd dyno too :)

We had one in October last year.

We're trying to limit our own dyno events to one per annum. That may, and probably will, change though.

However if this was going to be part of our 3 round "Supra Vs Skyline" comp then I'm sure that we can arrange it.

Here's some links to our dyno day video.

I know a couple of these supra people, dyno we are going to lose, but at least one of these high horsepower supras cant drive it for shit and I mean FOR SHIT!! *cough* Danny *cough*

And ive heard a few stories, so it will be a different kettle on the track.

who's this Danny you speak of, do i know you? :D

Id rather pay a higher price and have less cars on track, more to ourselves.

What is the autosports web site?

:D

you're such a n00b John!

I see you finally made it here :D

ps. wtf is with the satay thing?!?!

lol, made it here? You make it sound like im some long lost relative :D Im so keen for this, i love grudge matches - and the fact that ive got both cars means i can win either way! If a supr has the fastest time ill be on their side and bag you lot, if a skyline wins ill be on your side and knock my supra as being stock :D Win win :D

Merli changed my name after seeing what i had to eat at dinner (satay chicken)

lol! long lost brother??!! :D:D

(adopted - cos we look nothing alike haha!)

nah i just meant since i told you on the phone that time about it!! you finally made it to the thread!!

lol

Ok, you're now my long lost adopted sister from down south

Yep im in for this day so i figured posting in the thread would help :D

Some good power there...

I like the just over 300kw run thats on 13psi. Thats good.

Yeah, heaps of potential. Aftermarket twin turbo setup. Lots more to come from this car and at least one more in a few weeks.

My car had fuel delivery issues at the dyno day. Intermittent loss of fuel due to the stock pump and walbro intank playing up. Had a bosch 044 installed since. Much better power figures now.

Im very keen for this day, we seem to have enough interest aswell... We just need a solid booking now.

By the way "Silver RZ" lots of power might be good for dyno days and the quater mile but on the track its a different story... There are a few light little GTST's here that pack a good punch on the track without having big power figures... You might get us on the straight but look out for us through the twisties :D

The Supra has always been given the 'heavy-weight' branding by the US. The RZ is actually 1490kg compared to 1320kg R32 Skyline GTST, 1480kg R32 Skyline GTR and 1500kg R32 Skyline GTR V-Spec.

But you're definitely right. A good setup gets you far at the track. It's better however to have power and not need it, then need power and not have it. :D

Everyone calls me Niko by the way.

edit: If Jayce is reading any of this, then G'day mate. Long time no see.

LoL that was my next question... Which ones yours.

Niko's supra i would be putting my money on now ;)

I didnt have much of a chance to watch the vids before work just a quick look.

Its really good to see you guys making vids... I rate that.

Good work guys.

Yeah I thought it was a good job of the vids too - makes me feel guilty for not taking the time to work on the marques cruise :D

who's this Danny you speak of, do i know you? :(

Danny, there may be some confusion as to who cannot drive for shite on a race track and that should be directed at me. I spent a lot of time on the dirt and I told Johnny boy all about it when we worked together and I was suitably laughed at...... :angry:

Now that I have my suspension all set up, all I need are some tyres and hopefully I have learnt something about setting a car up for track work/play. :banana:

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
