I got out to the Mallala track day for a spin on the GSXR race bike.

I'm almost 3 seconds off the pace, but I'm happy with my 1m20s considering I'm back from a serious injury. But I'd love to be doing 1m17s again :(

Had a few mates on their bikes out on the track, and I had fun "carving them up". My mate's were on 1000s and they were a bit miffed they couldn't catch me on my 600 :) Ah, it was good to have a bit of fun!

Went to a BBQ with them last night, and had a few good yarns about the day ... including the mobile food fight between our van can my mate's car on Port Wakefield Road at 110kph on the way out there :D

speaking of drift hacks, ive got 46 days to fix a whole heap of shit on mine

getting the other headlight working

power steering rack

alignment

radiator re-core

maybe re-bracket my intercooler so its not held by one bracket and a cable tie

get a silicone reducer joiner so i dont blow my crossover pipe off the rest of my piping (those out last nite will know what im talking about)

and god knows what else

going to attempt to rip out my a/c stuff too (never used it, never gotten round to ripping it out either)

Anyone able to clarify here? I'm useless as tits on a bull when it comes to suspension. In the pic below, the part that's circled, is that the tie rod? Just need to know as mine is bent and needs replacing, just unsure if I buy brand new from Nissan or go to the wreckers and grab one

    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
    • Well, yeah. But I just expect everything other than my car to feel like a bucket of shit anyway. I still miss my Alfa 116 so much though. You could run over a 20c piece and tell whether it was heads or tails.
