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.

Neil.

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.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      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.
