Yup that's it, attention to detail of every inch of that car is an understatement. Not to mention the 1.37 was done on a damp track with a busted front right CV.

Yes Sam builds and works on race cars for a living, and his car is always impressive and immaculate. We talk a lot on the phone, and it was great to catch up. He got my attention last year at Phillip Island. We shared a garage at this event and lots of people were coming to our garage to check out the two Nissans. I have been to his workshop, which is big immaculate shed 25 mins out of Albury on his property.

if you spring for a can of black spray paint JP the Zed could look the same...

impressive times from the XU1 Torana!

so, how many interstate people at this "National Championship"? kinda feels like the yanks' "World Series" stuff :D shame it wasn't promoted throught the other states. Did they mention any plans to do it again next year? and a date or location?

That Torry must have been the white Sports Sedan with massive gaurds and rubber.

The event was not promoted well and very late as it was approved late I heard.

Yea your right JP the xu1 was the sports sedan.

66 entrys is crap,,we get more to a state round,,,apparently it's on again next year in Vic land then the year after in QLD.

I have to echo everybodies comments on the GTR,,,bloody great looking,,,clean car. Those front brakes are bullshit. The only other GTR I have ever seen to that standard is Terry's ex-Gibson car.

I personally had a great weekend,,,9th on saturday and 5th on sunday with an overall of 7th and a 3rd in class all done in absolute disgusting weather and on shagged old tyres. Seems my suspension tweeks over night worked. A little icing on the cake was beating John on sunday and beating dennis (ex-owner)overall. Now if I had only done on saturday what i changed for sunday,,,.

Oh did I mention my body is bruised and battered from 2 days in a fibreglass seat.

John Harper is the owner of the torana sports sedan, Its got a big dollar FJ20 in a 3/4 space frame chassis, the engine is your passenger.

Its always out at the club sprints and usually one of the faster cars on the day.

But at least you had fun Neil!!!

Oh you betta beleive it buddy,,, I had a smile on my dial after every session.

Risking,,,when can I pick up my 2nd screen that I have paid for mate???. Can I send my driver tomorrow???. I would also like the old broken one back.

Neil.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
