Congrats JET,

Can't wait to have a close look at it in person.

KEEP SAFE BUDDY!!

Seriously consider doing an advanced driving course.

We (SAU) should do one together, as a club day. It would be mad and we could learn a thing or two. My heart sinks when i hear of a skyline being involved in an accedent.

CONGRATS!!!

Can't wait to see it up close and personal.

KEEP SAFE BUDDY!

Seriously consider doing an advanced driving course. We (SAU) should do one together. Have a great day learning the limits of our babies (in jets case 1/4 of the limit will be more than enough :P) and learn a thing or two.

C ya soon!

Hey Mick, you do driving courses? or track days??

Sorry for being off topic...

I used to instruct advanced/defensive driver training courses and I used to do a hell of a lot of track days with different clubs etc.

Since I got my GTR I have done one track day at Winton too test set up and get myself used to the car. Getting a GTR fast is easy, getting it around really fast is not. My car needs new springs (on order in soon) and I need to retrain myself.

I have been speaking to a few guys I know who used to instruct with me or with other groups and we may get back into it soon.

Mick.

I have not done it but a few of the old crew like the John Bowe courses. Drive safe used to run a very nice course and I'll speak to a mate of mine regards Mircots now days. Used to be the best but they did loose a lot of really good personal. I think there is a real skyline freak there though now days which is always a bonus if someone is really interested in your cars.

If we ever get off our asses and start running courses again I will post it here. In the mean time do them all. With 400 rwkw no BS you need to really learn how to pedal it. That things is a serious tree hugger. You should be looking to build up and do motor sprot courses and get a Cams licence. The more time you put in on the track the better off you will be. If you get a track day that you can have passangers give me a yell. I'll meet you there and show you around.

Mick.

Calder Park.

Last friday of every month. You can do a few laps, just let the pass cars get about 3/4 of a lap in fron of you.

Problem is that you only get 3-4 laps, other slower cars are on the track and you catch up quick, real quick. But still fun.

Haven't been for a few months myself.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
