Unfort Im moving out that weekend AND its on a sunday, no can do :w00t:

I have friends who live practically over the road from it and I can tell that the whole neighborhood absolutely hates it. I overheard someone saying they were going to throw some sand on the road so the cars crashed. I don't think they expected the response they got and I'm sure it's now only something they joke about.

5th in class and think 26th out right satday did a 42.86sec fastest time satday and did hit the top gard rail in one run just marked the rims . about 3sec off the fastest evo

and sunday 42.6 sec 5th or 6 in class and around 23 out right as didnt get the last time sheet and the last run we my fastest 1.6sec of the class leader was a good weekand now get it ready for the bathurst weekend of speed

The event was great, the speach at the begining of the day by the son of rajab mayor seemed very positive and i think the event might be here for another 50 years or so (it was the 50th year of running the event this year).

I had fun and enjoyed myself, great event to take family, friends along to as well as the better half half becase of the view of the beach and the relaxed environment, managed a best of 42.9 just not as quick as the gts4 (godzilla.....LOL @ guy on mic) but not too bad for the first time i have ever competed in the event.

Tyres become an issue as you just can't get enough heat into them in the short track, i think to get the best out of it you need to go to a softer compound something like the GGG's in the Toyo's.

aza - i hope u got your chair back, we left it with the officials tent in the pits, when we were packing up it was picked up in error and then when i looked in the back of the ute i noticed it.

Matt

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
