Yea mate got the same,,,cheeky girl is in love with roll cages and her hans now. She said something about running again in January.

Just very happy your wifey is okay mate !!!.

interestingly for the nsw-ers who know her too, Alex Hailstone (-alex on sau) was navigating in the other team car and had a great run in her first event.. excellent to hear Alex is still keen to be part of the scene, and diving right into it. props to her for getting in the silly seat of a rally mx-5

yeah same....imagine the naging I would get if she wasn't!

Matt....what is this faceplace you speak of?

I beleive it's called Facebook mate,,,while I am somewhat of a member,,,I only use it for Radical racing stuff. Dump is hurting SAU!!!.

Cheers

You do know, to stop the nagging, you just need to unplug the driver/navigator intercom right?

Facespace... That's facespace Drunkan :(

Extremely glad to hear she's all good, although, I feel sorry for the doctor who said she wasn't allowed out of the hospital to go drinking tonight!

Any word on exactly what happened? I understand head on into an embankment at speed, was this a mechanical failure or a normal racing incident?

I so wish I didn't get car sick whilst trying to read notes... It seems the easiest way to get into this stuff the fun way!!! As you encountered, even me trying to use a phone to browse the net for a minute or two made me ill and we were cruising on a public road!

Absolutely great to hear Alex went well, I was following her facebook postings, and initially thought she'd just gone down to spectate!

Hrm, now to find out the easiest way into it as a driver... If that won't work, official!

Well both driver and navigator confirmed it was not a navigator error.......so driver or mechanical failure :(

either way, scans and xrays came through last night and nothing serious.....no doubt she'll be very sore for a few days though

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
