Steveo, as per our discussion in the middle of the night last friday!!

Am i taking your spot for Dave or completing a new one??? Needs to know so I can pay whoever and do the form!!

Yes you're taking mine :P

Yes you're taking mine ;)

ah okies... send me your bank details then puhlease... can't find em :)

Il get Dave to do the form this weekend..... still no idea which car!! Thinking mine though.... he's much funnier to watch in rwd mode :(

there's a great photo from 12 months ago of turismo's starlet going over that with 4 wheels off the ground ;)
Post up that picture!

Yeah, I never saw that photo, pic or ban :laugh:

farrkkk, how fast was he going?

110ish maybe quicker, didn't really look down, to busy concentrating on flight

thought of another noobie question....

is there a provision to change tyres from the rims down there coz i got some shitty rears in my garage with about 20-30% tread left on them and just incase i happen to get the ones currently on my car down to mettal, would i be able tochange the tyres without having to somehow bring the rims aswell???? if not the dosnt matter i'll just keep the smokeing to a minimum...

Nope, there's no tyre changing facilities down there unfortunately, unless you go to a wheel and tyre shop down there, and I doubt there'd be much open on a Sunday afternoon...

We want to avoid any unintentional skidding or spinning, and we're not allowing drifting or burnouts due to the rules of the facility itself, and we don't want another visit from the EPA for noise pollution either...

so does that mean the skid pan is going to be wet? coz if its dry my tyres will shred like no tomorrow and there will be heaps of noise...... and why does epa care? looking on google earth there doesnt seem to be any houses very near.....???

ps: id rather a wet skid pan anyway

Hey guys, just wondering how many spots are still available? I'm hoping to put the engine back into my GTR this weekend and would love to take it for a thrash if there are still spots available. It would be my first SAU event so it all sounds like awesome fun

There are still spots available :)

epa cares as theres a guy with a noise meter across the valley who rings them up as soon as it goes 1 db over the limit, and it will be the wet skidpan.

What a tosser... who doesnt like the sound of a car revving off its guts :)

Dang.. that was a quick responce boys!.. :laugh:

Thanks for the help..

Ill be confirming or not within the next few days..

And whats the CHEAPEST form accomodation that is NOT sleeping in the car.. Fixed back buckets are not comfortable to sleep in..

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
