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 :)

LOL

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.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
