how much is this? looks a lot of fun.

To enter? Start at $50k and work up from there. To be competitive? How big is your wallet, and how well can you steer? :P

To spectate? No idea actually? Free?

Hey Dave,

It's Andrew from the other night, nice to meet you boys... Ask Jeff if he wants to swap GTRs.

I'll try to make it out to Wakefield to cheer you on :D

well mine is production cars but not improved production.

before making round 1 I need to replace oil pump, run it in, new exhaust (now they are free the 70mm one needs to be gooooone), tune (esp now we can run cam gears) and talk to gary about suspension. Oh and sort out the targetted scruitiny as well.

so....am going all guns to be there but it is looking tight from here.

That is what Lofty wrote :blink:

He already has the under 2 litre and over 2 litre records at Oran Park and Eastern Creek, has the unders at Wakey and whatever else he owns.

At least I own the unders at Amaroo hehe I was able to keep one :P

BTW Oran will not be going that soon. Will be here until at least 2010.

haha, yeah sorry I know he has it now, I just meant if he can hang on to it till closing.

awesome for you to have the LR at Amaroo mate. It was such an cool track. it was closed down when I was just a teenager but I was out there watching a few times before it closed and did get to do a few laps there just toodling around. It would have been great to race on. My best friends father had a spectacular (and terrible) accident there when we were kids and he was driving an atlantic. flipped it into the crowd. :banana:

such a shame we seems to be getting less and less tracks in NSW as time wears on. :)

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
