give the big boys hell tomorrow dave. yeah no practice for me either which is a shame because i wanted to try out gary's new shocks.

the a048's are going to suck against the guys on slicks once they get going. I'd bring some slicks along for you guys but I've only got 3, wrecked one when the caster rod broke :)

still, should be good to see how you go, I was OK to take 2 rows of the grid so you should be able to do at least that with the power you have now. Its a shame they wised up after a few races and started going sideways on the start to cut me off.

lol I think that is what they are trying to get on top of Andrew.

New shocks are in after 1am this morning (and thanks for providing the cold cold garage and help Neil :)),

No probs buddy,,,I wasn't cold but then again I did all the hard work. I gotta love ya style though,,,just a quick shock change turns into rear arm changes as well ya bastard.

If you hadn't sat there drinking and lazing around talking shit it would have been finished straight after dinner. lucky for me you don't smoke or nothing would have happened.

Lofty just pick the sportys off one by one,,,most are un-reliable old girls and come Sunday arvo you could well be kicking some big arses. Semi's at E/C will be interesting.

looks like Dave also had some problems in qualifying- hope it all got sorted so there's at least one Skyline still running this weekend.

Doh :D

I was going to pop out tomorrow morning and watch the first race :(

i'll let him post details later but we're out for the weekend :devil:

Doesn't sound too bad, if it's only one weekend you'll have to miss.. That rules out a whole list of potential boo-boos :D

yeah this particular weekend didn't go as well as last. 99% sure its got a spun big end bearing. the oil pressure was never right on that motor so maybe next time. even worse, the commodores are going pretty quick at eastern creek 1.48 and I don't think the car was sorted well enough to get close to them. but we will be back...again....

looks like lofty had a bad weekend too....not great for skylines all up :D

ahh meh shit happens soetimes. you need deeper pocketrs than mine to rutn thesecars.

dave, if you got a 1.42 that is a good start, that car has a lot of potential as a sports sedan and i reckon if jeff has the time andmoney to persevetr with it you can make the same sort of impact as yuo did in IP and production cars. hope he gives it a shot

good to hear dave I wish nmy spare motor was ready. althogh i might be a bit under the westher tomorrow. best of luck I'm sure you can grab 2-4 spots off the start.

surprised to hear it was a bearing though it looked like rings to me for sure? a lot of the black stuff came out, at least like my car it will never rust under there

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      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.
