Be involved in a real race team! Pit crew volunteers needed!


Recommended Posts

Actually, it was a great race, after a slick pitstop I came out second, but then about 10 min later I had a long off-road excursion when a commonwhore pulled out of the pits into my racing line.

When I got back on track I was in 6th, which I held until about 5min from the end of the race - when the gearbox mounting snapped causing the engine to fall out ;)

Still it was a great weekend of racing!

so were you 46 or 47 ? was there but didn't get a chance to see much of the daewoo race, bit harsh that you guys had a combined race!

you've got the purple S2 i guess, i only saw 1 other skyline there it was a black R32! like the wheels, and TYRES!! how long do they last you normally?

i had a shocker of a day, was leaving in the after noon and a person with a trailor drove past my car and caugh the door (it was open) pulling it way past were it opens, destroying the front guard and door, as well as needing the chasis straightened near the hinges etc! atleast i had it after the respray for 2 days. not happy jan.

did you finish the race, or did you have to retire?

door= suxors :(

Nah, I had to retire and watch the ending from the pits. I was in 47, but actually 46 also broke engine mountings (much earlier, about 15 min into the race) we were the only 2 daewoos which retired which was a pretty good finishing ratio.

The race was a bit of a nightmare with the other cars, I mean a bit of traffic was OK, but we had these slow cornering commodores, falcons, gtrs etc all the time. I only got hit by one, but a few other 'woo drivers were less lucky :P In fact it was an idiot in a commodore pulling out of the pits right in front of me and then cornering way too slowly that lead to me off-road excursion....

Yeah, the blue 33 was mine, and the cheater tyres don't normally live on there but I'm too lavy to take em off sicne we're going back to Eastern Creek next Thur lol.

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
