Have to let you all in on a secret :)

I am heading out to ORAN PARK today to watch MARK SKAIFE test his old GROUP A R32 GTR (the Winfield car) that is now owned by Terry Ashwood. He is testing this car on the GP at full flight.

It is a two car test. The other car is the new R35 GTR, and will be a story in an upcoming WHEELS magazine.

They are doing full data today.......lap times, corner speeds etc etc

Have a good day :)

Well obviously they did not want everbody to know about it. I had to keep my mouth shut for weeks!!!

Was a great day. The R35 was Nissans with the rego plate NEWGTR from VIC.

They had the old HR31 out for a play as well!!

Will be a feature story in WHEELS in MAY.

I did not get a chance to see the data. Skaifey was in and out of oran park like a flash!!!

I think he did as little as he needed.

No pics, sorry. I work for WHEELS as well, so you will have to wait for the mag to come out.

The boys were saying Skaifey was doing 18's/19's in the R35. I thought it would do a 17/18....well he is retired haha

As I said, I did not get a chance to see the data so I do not know the exact lap times, corner speeds etc

I am not sure if Skaifey had a big go in Terrys Winfield car as it is his pride and joy as you would expect. I was having a good chat to Terry and he was upset that the car had to do so many laps for the photographer LOL

Was a great site though :(

I say BAN BOZMMAN. Sif work for wheels should be a deterrent.

If it were the uk the club may well have recieved an invite to such an event,

its a pity Nissan are so embarrased by their years of neglect toward the Australian skyline community they hide their shame by shit canning us.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
