It was good to see the gtr's racing around the mount and to see the first aussie delivered gtr racing around the mount was good. Im cofused with sum of the entrant numbers but as in the sdrive bathurst part the number 26 was on a 32 gtr that raced at superlap and not on a 997 gt3. And congrats to michael taylor for doin a 2.47 in the r35 for its first outing and on street tyres around the mount. nope i got the right as ive had a few drinks between seeing it and typing this :)

The 32 was parked up at mark and russ's joint Roy. Maybe the new owner gave them the green light to hang another scalp from its belt.

The 33 ran at time attack a few days back and even at this early stage was only a cuppla secs away from the fully developed 32. It augers well for the future of the 33 for sure. Its an amazing car to watch.

wow massive QLD result. Top 3 regular TimeAttack QLD drivers! Great result for Mark Rayner to pip Cam Dyal. !

last time I spoke to Russ at TimeAttack, they was hoping to take the R33GTR? Not sure if that result is the R33 or R32 (I doubt R32)

R32 GTR is in someone else's hands but the car lives in brissie still. killed a gearbox the saturday before timeattack at qr i think???

thats what i heard down the grapevine? :P

Go the Qlders, & ALL 1st timers at the track too, just for good measure!

Well done to Mark & Russ on a fantastic result, well deserved, especially considering the car was in 2wd mode!

Great performance by Mark Rayner also to dip into the 29's on semi's. Considering there is 4 to 5 seconds in slicks, it would have been very interesting to see what times he would have got down to. Next year we'll see, that's for sure.

Unfortunately I could not run my good engine for the event, so I swapped back to my old 2 litre engine which was only good for 259kw's on pump, so I was very happy to get down to the time I did on a handful of dry laps. It was not fun seeing another Evo pull away from me on every straight I tell you!!!!!

Cheers Cam

yeah well done to Mark B, Mark R & Cam, bloody good driving given the conditions ( lots of rain) , which really limited any learning the track time with good grip! especially as EVO Cam and ourselves had mechanical trouble which meant even less laps.

It was a good weekend and absolutely fantastic fun,& the most amazing track you could ever imagine driving , i thought!

it was the r33 that we took down for it first real race debut, which was a mission to get even half right, the car got one session friday and managed a 2.20 which we were happy with given it was Mark's first time on track! but the car was handling very poorly , it was trying to change lanes on it's own when pushed and swap ends over the high speed bumps on the crests. Then Saturday the front diff and housing assembly parted company with the sump and the top of the hill just after skyline with me in it ( my one and only drive of it two laps in), so we decided to take the whole lot out and run it in rear wheel drive for Sunday.

attached is a lap incar from yesterday with rear drive only, you maybe able to make out the whole car trying to bounce sideways from the shit suspension uprights and standard bushes still in the car. he couldnt hold it flat over the crests on either straight as it just wanted to bounce of the track!

it is a credit to Mark to drive it so fast handling sp poorly like that!

I so want that car more then ever now. Awesome in car vid of an awesome driver/car combo! I wonder how mnay years i will have to slave away in developign countris to affors your asking price :(

So first time out i know it would be hard to say, but do you think the R33 could ultimately be as fast/faster then the R32?

don't worry troy. i keep putting the hard word on russ for ya, and I promise I wont let him sell the 33 to anyone else! it's right up your alley I reckon. :)

anyway, it was a top effort by both mark and hollywood. you did pretty well for a bloke with no talent russ! putting around in that little evo. there would be a few blokes behind you that wouldn't believe you if you told them how little money is the total spend on your evo... especially when they probably spent more on wheels and tyres for their GT3 Cup Car than you did on the whole shebang!

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
