Good work Daz. :)

Brenton how the hell did u place there when you were saying ud lost so bad??? :O

Pete

Yeah, awesome work DAZ!!! :)

Nfi how I got where I was, I think every time Daz beat me I felt i'd fcked up some way :)

Awesome weekend AGAIN everyone - had a ball!

yep me lol

nah it cleared up as soon as I drove out the gate and hasn't puffed even the smallest amount of smoke since... it has happened before at the last Deca and only appears after a hard stop into the gate, I think somehow oil is finding it way into the intake might be from the cracked breather pipe I dunno... there is a smell of coolant in the car now as well so I think I have a few leaks... damn old cars!

Well done on your results BTW

140kw and your still 1 sec faster than me on the long wang and about 2 sec faster on the skid pan (when I don't hit anything... which isn't often)... your not allowed to get more power!... in fact I think next time you should be forced to put the seats back in ... actually you should be forced to take out my seats and have them in your car as well lol

how bout i leave the marque in there also? that will give me some ballast.

nice..thats some inspiration..although cbf with coilovers, i do have a set of semi's as well..might try them up front next time as well.

cbf? is it because its a daily? it depends what you want from it, but coilovers is by far the biggest advantage.

Yeah I like that setup too especially on the skidpan. That's what I ran last time.

btw. If you buy power so will I :) I'm chasing you until I get a win. haha.

haha, we sound like the GTR boys.

*cough* december last year...*cough cough*...

just win more.. then they will remember.

Thanks all!

Power doesn't mean anything at DECA which is clearly proven by some lower power cars (mine included).

Suspension & tyres are where it's at!

little scotsman,

Go on to: www.wrx.com.au

Tell them who you are & we'll find a set of struts & springs for you.

p.s. Do I get my winners jacket now?

Cheers.

Daz.

more power is on the cards for the sil80 hey Ryan?? getting a bit worried about russman so close huh? :down:

you will be a seriously dangerous man, no chance of us dattos catching you then. enthusiest or driver haha.

lets hope sideDave can do it again for team datto.

*cough* december last year...*cough cough*...

Yeah I remebered that after I had posted.

If team datsun is still going to be around for a little while I'm gonna put some time into the gemini and come and join you guys. I know if said it before, but it will happen one day.

I know a certian yellow snow eating guy who might be keen to co-drive too.

How much power do you datto's have? I only went in yours and leighs and man they are quick. Am I going to be eating humble pie at a place like sandown?

Why didn't you turn around and come back for the rest of the day? Get a catch can and it may stop the problem with the high loads on the car.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
