What happened to the r31?

He had over heating issues all day and eventually ended up with a blown motor.

But he has an RB30 twin cam waiting to go in it so he didnt really care about the old RB20 giving up.

Oh awesome Vid Jon..But I dont think that is me :( That's Jay the other white GTR cause I never saw that R34 on the track..but I heard Jay mention it :)

Jay and I where both getting happy on those ripple strips up the top :)

Aww really? Ah yeah, after looking at the full resolution video again it looks like the number plate is SIG-80E or something like that.. Oops! :(

Yeah not sure if i'm a fan of the new ripple strips... :)

So that's what my car looks like from behind ;)

Sorry to hear about all the breakages. I managed to get away with only a split intercooler pipe (15 year old original) and an airy brake pedal (needs another bleed).

Great day, improved heaps and thanks to all the peeps that made it happen :)

if i can get my car ready by then i'd be keen, specially seeing as i only manged 1 session all day. details?

its just a thought at the moment considering how much the weekend cost to get the car ready plus fuel.

how'd you go getting home. hope there wasn't much damage done

Well DAMN!!!!! Why the hell did i spend all that coin on a big build. turbo's cams etc etc.

Just looking through this thread The only modification required is "hand timing" :P

(sneaks back over the border)

:D

If you can afford it, the absolute best mod is a "bum" lap timer. Made by the same group that released the "bum dyno".

I spoke to the company who sells them, and my 1:18 hand timed, should be a very accurate 1:07 on the bum lap timer :)

:P

ha ha im gald they make both products cause once you make a bum power figure you need a bum timer to give you times that match the power!

Thanks for the tip Nismo. Are they a direct bolt on mate?

Jay, you drove past VZ SS and me on the Freeway on way home when we were pulled over on the side!

And I think you were MUCH quicker than your 1.13 in your sig!!!

Sorry about not stopping, didn't recognise you guys, hope all was good.

Should be much quicker now after I was shown the fastest way to go around the corners. Definately felt alot quicker :)

:P I wanted it to be me aswell ...Anymore vids Jon...You had some good lines on the track :D Well Done

did those cable ties hold up??

I like the big ripple strips I got pretty airborne up the top when I was chasing Boz ;)

I think it was on its last legs..But pretty sure the owner wanted it to die cause he has a better motor to go in it ;)

Yep! The cable ties did beautifully thank you :)

All hail the mighty cable tie!

I've got plenty more video, it takes me a bit of time to chop it all up because the original video is 1920x1080i resolution (about 190MB per minute!!), so it takes some time to compress it down to a downloadable size..

I only regret not getting some footage from outside the car, it's all in-car unfortunately. I was also lucky enough to have clear track ahead of me for a lot of the time, so it havent got that much 'chase' footage.. I'm browsing through now.. I'll see what I can find of other peoples cars

I hear that mod makes you chop atleast 8 seconds off your time, with no need for improved driving skills at all!! I wonder why no-one ever bothered to bolt one up when official timing was still in play :P:)

On a topical note, some of those pics are fantastic!!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
