Jess,,,16 degrees,,,windy and rain is the weather report,,,I have new tyres and brakes to bed in and can't see any of that happening.

Wets are already on the car.

I'm a little pissed off and nervous at the moment,,,E/C is my fav track and looks like I could be a spectator for most of the day.

Duncan,,,have you any idea how many people have seen that great pic of your brakes,,,One of my customers sent it to me for f**ksake.

I'm happy we have actually found a pad that can handle your abusive feet.

Everybody thats looked at that pic thinks theres something wrong with your brakes.,,,Only a couple of race heads thought it was close to normal.

We can improve them more,,,the thought doctor is in my head.

Can't believe I missed this event, looks like so much fun. A couple of questions Duncan:

How many laps was each race?

How long between each race?

What time did it start/finish?

I'll head out for the EC round.

neil...that is damn funny. I was actually working on the brake ducts today....I'm sure only nissan was kind enough to put brake ducts on cars all the way 20 years ago :D

Ben...the day night meet is kind of unique - Qualifying + 5 races in 1 day, ran until 10.30pm. Normally it is qual and race 1 on sat, and 2 races on sunday and all over by 5pm.

Because it was oran park south they were long races - 12 and 15 laps. The sprint races are normally shorter, 8 to 12 laps about 20 min each (which is still long enough to work that hard). In addition we do 2 enduro rounds each year which are 2 sprint races and 1x 1hr enduro. Just enough fuel in the tank to run for 1 hour.

      R35 GT-R production ends after 18 years

      By Rezz · Posted

      Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By MBS206 · Posted

      21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
