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?

Troy is the one with big power mine is just a baby, and besides - seems the power makes no difference as none of us can drive :P

Come to sandown russ, you'll have a ball!

Yeah pretty sure I'll be there. My rear tyres are stuffed now though so I need some new ones. Anyone have any second hand 17in RE55's?

I do remember the sprint to the other side of the skid pan in troys. It really pulls hard!

Well after a disappointing end to my morning Saturday with fueling issues with the car Ray has come through with the goods and returned the Monster....

Before the weekend i went in with a nice 280kw delivered hard but smooth and with some idle issues and obviously the unforeseen issues on the weekend at DECA.

After picking my car up from him today it was found that the Fuel map was all over the place. Reasoning for this is unknown and in the past. Ray has re-tuned the car to a kick asss 308kw. its idle issues are fixed and power delivery is sweet.

Massive thanks to Ray at RE Customs for his help on Saturday while trying to diagnose the issues and the work hes done to resole the probs with the car.

Thanks again to Al Dave and everyone else who gave me a hand on the weekend with the car.....

Hey Russman,

Not quite RE55s, but I've got a set of Bridgestone RE070s for sale in the For Sale section...

They're the ones I used last weekend...

Cheers.

Daz.

HEy guys

I have to say it was one of the best weekends i have had in a LONG time.

It was great to go and race and have a laugh ,normally Drift day can be stressfull trying to perform and wat not also not going up and back in one day is good too.

hopefully someone got a pic of the slide i pulled over the hill on the mini track :D

Thanks again everyone for a kick ass weekend.

cheers Tim

Yeah good driving tim. 3rd first time out is very impresive. You linked up all the corners like a true drifter.

I enjoyed driving against you in the battles but that waste gate is a bit rude don't you think! haha.

    • 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...
    • 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).
