Cheers..

i see it as the more practice and experience i get the faster i am getting... the car has only the mildest of modifications, and i don't want to go any further until i make use of the full capability's of my car :)

The best mod by far is driver training and practice...

Would be great to c you come down to a few events or even register for the series next year :P

Dave, so very true mate!!

Ive got a practice GP day in June with a few pro drivers and John Boston etc

Next year - we'll see how the budget goes! lol

I may even do a round or 2 here and there!

the practice day will be a awesome experience! make sure you let them take a spin of your car :) i know i let Ian Luff (he raced Type R's in IPRA) take my car for a spin and he did a 1:25 in my car at the GP circuit and i cut my time down from high 26's to high-mid 24's... as for doing SS events, that would be great ! they are also not so badly priced when you look at it considering there held in a professional manner and are timed as well!

I might be wrong, It's in the ignition dvd that came with HPI with Twoogle on the front..

The guy name was Dave and had a white integra :(

yeah all clubs are welcome to state supersprints. you can register for the whole series and they send the forms out, or just contact the individual clubs. but if you dont register they wont guarantee entry spots

Well Oran Park was an interesting Sunday to say the least.

1st session I had to bed discs and pads in so all that went very well. Seems Duncan and I did a great job,,,I was mindful to adjust the brake bias lots to the rear so they bedded in as well. 2nd session I just made sure everything was working properly which it was,,,but getting the brake bias back to where I wanted it took almost all the session. Thats okay as we still had 3 sessions to go and I'm always faster as the day goes on.

Sitting at pre-grid,,,thinking this session I'm going to have a real big dig at my class record (only 3 tens off) I'm pysched,,,ignoring all around me and driving every part of the track in my head.

Yah right pulls out on the track and the bloody heavens open up big time. Great I'm on cold slicks the cars undrivable and it's all over,,,pulls into the garage pisses off. Duncans laughing to me.

What to do now the days rooted. Most of the cars are now on trailers going home. Stuff that,,,mercy dash by my amazing pit man to Narelan for a new rain light because mine not working. Wets on and out I go for some wet practice. I now find myself in a situation I've never been in,,,sure I've raced bikes in the wet but not a 400 kilo car on wets with tons of horsepower. Everytime I get on the throttle it wants to swap ends. Oh and I'm forgetting my visor is now fogged and can't see a bloody thing. I resort to flipping it up between slides and a quickly wiping with the back of my hand. Only on the last lap I mistakenly don't close the visor completely and to my amazement I now have a clear view.

4th session and I'm up straight away so I now have some warmth in the tyres,,,not much but some. It's still pissing down but now I can see,,,I'm much more in control and am shocked at how much grip warm wets have on a soaking wet track actually have. Sure I can still swap ends but it's now fun. I have no bad moments and did my quickest wet lap.

I really should have gone out again for more but I was getting cocky and knew i would hit something so I smartly parked it.

Extra Special thanks have to go to Mel for all her work(breakfast and lunch) and to Duncan for looking after me and the car. I could not have done it without the pair of you.

Nice to meet you Dave and Brian same to you buddy and thanks for the pics of the Radical

Yea buddy GP track,,,natsoft has me at 1.43.99. I'm stoked with that.

Jason,,,you should see the other side of Duncan,,,he takes over and won't let me work on the car.

I'm thinking of giving him a list and sit back and watch.

Oh then again I will be punished sooner or later.

Eastern Creek this Sunday,,,anybody entered?. Sounds like the weather report is for no rain and a little warmth,,,so I might actually get some quick times in. I did a lowly 1.49 last time and ended up 11th so I need to improve big time.

Chris,,,I'm a dickhead,,,I forgot all about you mate. Last Saturday would have been perfect for you as we did O/park GP and thought shit Chris could have done this round.

I'm having a bloody ball,,,the cars still quicker than me but the gap is closing. I still can't get all the tin-top driving style out of my head. I brake way to early,,,accelerate way to late and my mid corner speed is just plain old crap. Having said that I broke the my class record last weekend,,,funny I beat Dennis the previous owner of the car. He did a 1.19.07 in 2006 and I did a 1.18.63.

I have sup regs for the next round at O/Park south on the 14th Sept but not the day/nighter yet. I will post up when I have them.

Jess could please please please ask Dave about my windscreen I need it desperately. My head is getting bounced around like a pin-ball with out it.

Sorry but Skylines NEVER EVER come last.

      Nissan fuga 450gt android screen

      By Duncan · Posted

      That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
