Ryan,

Ando Chris and I are staying here

http://www.bathurstexplorersmotel.com/

Oh Ryan - PLEASE have ext gate for conrod!! haha

I will book there too then, let me know when you book.

I dont know if they will let me have the ext gate? it might be too loud? i took the car out yesterday and it sounds so shit now without it, and i don't really know when to change gears now. :O I am trying to sort out my CAI and front brake cooling this weekend and i am over it already. I am searching for ideas.

Did you get your harness sorted out?

Guys don't leave helmets etc in cars at night, take them into your room. Had someone tell me their car was smashed into and lost all their helmets, suits etc while they were there.

Before I bought the enclosed trailer, I was still carting my car around on the back of a truck & took daughter to movies there in the middle of the day and didn't even make the walk to the theatre before turning back to find my open wheeler covered in 10-15yo kids. Made me noiiivous.

Ryan - nah havent sorted out the harness. I'll leave it for bathurst.

Oh, we have booked!

so book book book haha

Michele - Always do already!

got a confirming email for supersprint on saturday ..... :P

thanks aza for giving me an idea ..... so i'll send the entry form for hillclimb tomorrow

and i will ba a turtle climbing up hill on sunday ...... LOL

Well i will be the whale coming down on Sat lol.

i was just wondering if any one new if there was any spots left eighter the hill climb or the super sprint

i cant get hold of the bathurst light car club and i was wondering if should waist my time sending of my sending of my entry

thanks tim

Tim,

Best bet would be to get a phone number off the sup regs, and give them a call tomorrow :banana:

Christine Wells is them one to speak with :)

ok thanks i was calling the number of the site ill tyr the sup reg for a different number

ive started filling in the form but i dont no if my car is a

type 3 over 3lt

or a sv over 3lt which class do youse run

and does any one no how big the fire extinguisher has to be ive got a 1 kg in my car at the moment is that big enough

thanks tim

only locally delivered cars are eligible for class 3 so unless its a 32 gtr you are in SV (from your profile looks like 33 gtr?)

capacity for gtr is 2.6 x 1.7 for turbos = 4.42l

hmm that is a tricky question.

we are 100% in on 2 small conditions

1/ the car is running

2/ there is a spare spot available by then.

I long ago gave up entering events hoping the car will be ready :banana:

Engine is finally getting sealed on Wednesday night, it has taken ages because the rules have changed, we even need to get the cams measured, placed in a sealed bag and picked up by the engine sealer. and head cc-ed. and deck and head height measured. all in addition to the old inspection and bore and stroke measurement.

anyway, motor back in the car next weekend. Then run in, tune and a big wheel alignment (all bushes changed since it was last run). As long as all that is done before the event sells out we will be there with bells on.

And if we do make it, it will be the first event running more than stock boost (12psi), we have finally been allowed to run a boost controller to ensure it stays to 12 psi for race events. Which means we can dial in some proper boost for this (say, 36psi?) or maybe just 18-20 lol

thanks for the help duncan

i just have one more question are you aloud to run semi slicks or do you have to run road tyres

You can run whatever you choose i beileve. Evil Weevil is running street/semis RT615;s, I am running full semi RE55's and I think VZSS is running full slicks or streets.

But this said it has been discussed which way is best to go. Reason being, a semi slick may not get upto temp/pressure in the 'lead up' and actual sprint. Unlike time attack on an actual race track, you dont get a couple of laps to get temp into the tyres.

Depending on how much temp you get into the semis it could be better to go a street version IE RT615's. I am going RE55's cause i dont want to go buy a set of street semis just for this event..... SSOOOOO in short, up to you and what you feel comfortable on... :banana:

yeah you only have about 1min to get everything up to temp. they at least let you do a ful sik burnout to warm the rears but it still wont be enough for medium or hard semis.

i'll be running yoko a048rs too so they might be warm by the end of each run. even cold i think they are better than street tyres, just run a few psi more than normal.

tyres will affect which class you are in 2(road)/3(semis)/4(slicks) if you are not in SV.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
