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.

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.

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

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:

      By Manur33 · Posted

For earth do i need to follow the same procedure or i can use only 16awg wire for all coil and their connecting wire following to the plug?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
