this is the day I fell in love with skyline's, I sat on the back hairpin and was just blown away with the grip the Gtr had out of the corner, will never forget it, pitty the brakes didnt last!

The Sierra's were serious competitors on par with the GTRs at Bathurst (only have the 1990 to 1992 greatest moments from bathurst videos to base that assumption on) if only the reliability was sorted out

Yes this is true they were only restricted in the years after they thrashed the assss of every one then still bet them and the other teams turned around and said ohhh come on guys let us play ....... or we will make it V8s only sadest day ever GOD live the GTR king of them all........You are most childs dream to own one .........

Actually there's many reasons that they went to the V8 format that they have now...One being the GTR but do you remember the racing format back then??? Timed races?? BORING!! They had dwindling spectator and competitor numbers and if you watch any bathurst from back in that time they had everything from GTR's and sierra's to suzuki swifts to make the field up! They had to do something to make it viable, so the V8 format was born....

If i remember rightly as well, the sierra was only running 8 inch wide rear tyres?? With over 500hp outta em and rear wheel drive on an 8 inch wide tyre i beleive that traction was a major issue...And if you watch any of those races from that era every slow speed corner the sierra is in wheelspin! Twas an awesome car though and ahead of its time as was the GTR!

I've got a DVD from 1991 of highlights of the races and i know exactly what your saying about the grip outta the hairpin's at Mallala!! OH MY GOD!! So awesome!! LOL!!

They invented the V8 supercars to keep the GTR out. Having your arses whipped and handed to you 3 years in a row does that to the Holden-Ford community. Throw a GTR in the ring today and it'll still whoop them. :(

What was this thread about again? ... oh yeah ...

So who is is keen to take there car on the track??? keep the hooning off the streets :)

I'm upgrading my brakes soon. Sometime after that I'd be happy to take the "wagon" for a few laps.

Engine service - check

Auto serviced - check

Oil/filter change - check

Good rubber - check

Brakes - to come

:(

generally as it hits 100deg C water temp, and probably 110 - 115 oil temp. Oil breaks down at 120deg C, and coolant will boil around 110 - 115deg C. As long as when you hit these temps, you get off the noise and cool it down for a few laps, you should be fine.

haha noo noo will definaly be keeping sober and eating my brain food before hand for this one lol. u gonna be there damo? this thread is too massive to retrace thru and find out :D

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
