Good luck this weekend Jess! Hope you've got some good new tyres, there are a few wet events and tread depth really makes a difference.

If you've done one of the SAU texikhanas you know the track at sutton rd (use the outside of the wet skipdan, and don't cut corners on the back track the drop offs are nasty). Best way to learn it and fairburn park hillclimb next door would be to watch some in car footage

Its great fun if you don't want to take it too seriously (and a lot of people are too serious :D )

Most important...don't let any porsche wankers push in front of you :D

Go Jess go!

Go show those snotty aston/porka/etc etc drivers what nissan powah can do!

Have fun!!

I cant make it to spectate this weekend due to work again :D

Got pics of car stickered up???

Cheers guys the nerves are starting to kick in :D I got some brand spanking new falkens going on today and should be good as have never driven on new semi slicks before :D I also have learnt how to 4WD drift my car in the wet at last skidpan was awesome fun!

Yep Duncan I remember the back track of sutton and going to be an experience with no chincanes in place!! I should hopefully have a few goes at it so will take it easy first.. I start at Sutton rd on friday first!

Not taking it seriously to many Evo's entered!! *shakes fist* but going to do my best and just have fun... I am in my own group of cars from number 76 up...so will only be pushing inline at oran park I guess.. Will know more Thursday night at scrutineering!

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
