Everyone is busy preparing......

....their excuses to post here on Sunday.

Paul....interesting part of Luke's history to post. He has had lots of great performances, but holding the lap records for a very poorly attended production car series which only lasted 1 year is not really the highlight. Especially when we all know the trick to winning production car races is picking the fastest car in the first place. The BMW 130 was definately the car to squash those pesky mangas and pulsars.

Wow that was a shot across the bow Paul. Love the Marina bit, yes he is a fellow silor and smokes a pipe wears a cardy.

Where is GTR Jason's entry, or is it a late grand one???

I am going to Oran GP today for testing and bed in new tyres, I hope to try different springs with Sydneykid this afternoon.

all I see is hyundai this, and magna that.... :) lol, I remember when folks in that field used to just drive their road cars there to race. hardly a shock that searles team who were very professional and strongly supported beat their brains in. but credit where it's due, they went there to win and made sure it happend. :down:

Thats exactly what i was going to post. He is no doubt a good steerer, as he has been around for a while running many sorts of cars.

The only reason i remeber Luke is years ago in the 2L BMW touring car he started on the back of the grid because he missed qualifying because of shabbats or something???

The other thing which will be interesting is to see how he goes behind the wheel of a car with some grunt and weight:)

That may have been taken out of context...Duncan is a very active member in the sport here and i was surprised to not see an entry from him. We are all in the same boat (no pun intended John) at the end of the day and to see Dunc's fronting with only words on a forum is a bit of a shame. I am aware at the lack of respect he has for me and what we do...thats just something ive learned to live with.

Got a two car team fronting to give this a real shake in both classes next year...this year we will be just finding our feet.

Well, we all cant be blessed to afford days like this. I mean the entry was enough to make it even more difficult to enter, not to mention that track time wise running may be less then other track events.

But it will be good competition and a good event which is why i am feeling the loss for missing it. But that said, i like the idea of being able to afford laps at Silverstone, Brands Hatch etc later this year so :)

Yep sure will Luke has driven my car only around the streets but he is amazed on how hard it pulls. He has never driven a GTR with power before. So hopefully after the first seesion he should have worked the thing out. Be very interesting to see how he goes one thing for sure is that he knows oran park like the back of his hand. So i think ive done the right thing letting searly drive my car. Im a hopeless driver & would probably end up hitting the wall.

Personally the only reason i would let someone drive me car in place of me is if they were paying for the whole show and that way i could sit back and see how the car goes without having to pony up with the pennies. If i was payign entry, tyres, fuel etc there is no way you could get the keys out of my greedy little hands :) So hats off to anyone who is letting other ppl pilot their cars...

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      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.
