Yep Bozman aero mods coming along. We have been chopping up the side skirts and rear of the car making some real rack off side skirts and big rear diffuser. Sure to help, and designed with help of Carbon Artistry who has done our work for over 10 years and does lots of race car stuff. Also taken advice from an air craft engineer who is involved with the V8 Supercars.

We may not be the quickest on the day but will have the best aero of any car there and will look the part. Don't right us off either. We will definitely have the quickest zed there, he he.

Hey Jason I found another pic of your car.

Is that Kennedy? Please tell me you are going to superlap. Since Marcov can't make it you're the best chance I know of that could threaten Mark Berry.

hmm, I don't even think the berry/newman/hi octane GTR is the favourite. their time's only 2 sec faster than a full steel, full glass, 27mm restricted, crap tyred IPRA car :bunny:

Who's car would that be would be keen to check it out. Must be a bit of a weapon if its only that far behind with restrictors in place. As i would have thought that the Mark/Russ/Hi Octane car would have been the benchmark for track spec GTR's in oz as they seem to have the runs on the board. There are plenty of keyboard warriors out there but not to sure how many will back up there talk with times at the track ?. Should be an interesting event anyway sounds like there will be some tuff cars comeing out of the woodwork.

add to that Jeff and his crew at brandster have been developing 32 GTR race cars for years now and there is a lot of know how behind them. Fark, I've been in Jeffs garage at his work and there are enough GTR parts in there to sink a ship. many of them modified and/or developed or refined by those guys over the years. They have been one of the few real serious guys working at making a 32 GTR fast over race distance in the last 5 years. I would say Jeffs car with dave behind the wheel will be top 5 for sure and most likely top 3.

i fart in your general direction!

NO NO NO.

Lets get back to the car thing. Superlap to be exact.

I will re kick things along.

Zeds smack GTR.

    • The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.    
    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
