thanks mate,

Bel Garage evo was doing low 1:04s...most of the other evos where doing around the 1.06 mark

there have been some more changes to the track in the past few weeks...they have put new ripple strips in up the top of the hill, fishhook and onto the back stright...which i think slows down the track...as i use to use the ripple strips alot in the ae86 around there when they just resurfaced it...

I was there on Friday. I think an s14 lost a wheel after encountering one of the large ripple strips at the top of the hill. Matt might have some photos of the incident.

We were warned not to go over the ripple strips like people used to before the resurface.

Breakmaster - I know that car. I'm mates with the old owner and have done a lot of work on it in the past. How are you finding it? And why did you get rid of the tints? (Other than the fact that you couldn't see through them)!

Hi!

Yes, I got rid of the heavy tint so that I wasnt a hazard to other motorists when I changed lanes! I just have standard tint on it now.

The car is great. Just a few problems with oil consumption which I am trying to work out.

The gearbox is fantastic - i think it has a quick shift kit installed. Much better than other standard skylines I have tried.

I have uprated the discs and pads which work really well at the track at the moment.

Dani, yes it has a Nismo short shifter in it - it does feel great to drive.

I do a fair few of the Circuit Club days as well, so I'm looking forward to seeing it again and seeing it out there on the track.

Next up should come some suspension work, then you'll really be able to push out some decent times. As for the oil consumption - I have no idea, it's been so long since I've seen the car now that I can't even remember if it was burning oil then or not.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
