Can I think out loud for a sec.... that safety car should have a race number and a driver name on it. There... I said it... P*ssoff this one horse race crap and bring back the V8 eater. We can't always ban cars that smash aussie crap can we?

the australian touring car series handicapped the GTR's and everything else that was brutaly quick around the track, mostly to make it more competitive, as for banning it...

... well, im fairly sure group a in general just died.

threads gone from r35 at bp regular meetup to which is the best super car to gtr being banned :P

technically it wasnt banned more so holden n ford packed up there sh*t and started their own series with different rules so they wernt allowed to race i think they were going to run the race without holden n ford but didnt have the marketing/people behind it to keep it going.

many threads on sau, youtube & wikpedia on the subject

Go for a ride in one 12 months ago, then I'll be jealous lol - I'm still one down on Mr Donnon though...

The best thing about R35s is there arent too many going around with god-awful atrocious taped on Bangkok body kits.....at the moment. Give it time :(

BTW Chef one of the CAMS officials that passengers in the safety car was very impressed that we could shift our R35 using those manual paddles behind the steering wheel. You see the safety car crew are not allowed to touch the paddles or switches, and have to leave the car in 'D' for Drive under strict orders from upstairs :P

car was insane,he know he offered to let me drive it but every one else would get jealous so i said no, cant be too greedy ya know lol

I did tell the guy when he first pulled up "uh oh, now you've done it. Here come the Skylines Australia club members! Get out while you can" :(

but the funniest part last night was when cara said "she was the best blower on the block"

i think she was talking bout her car

... yes .... she was talking about the car :( ... nothing went on in the back of the Stagea ... nothing! :/

Haha, that's ridiculous - I was going to say what about all the manual safety cars over the years, but all the ones I can think of in recent memory have been autos :S Either way, pretty damn soft on the organiser/clerk-of-course's part. There's no reason why the V8s shouldn't be able to keep up lol

I'll give you a buzz later on this week and bring the N1 out for a drive, if you're around the place.

Dohmar - you're seriously dissing BBS LMs?? Mate, time for a style adjustment!!

Yep. I dont like my cars rims to look like a malvern star's wheels. However if you like pushbikes, go right ahead.

5 or 6 spoke ftw. I see nothing wrong with stock 32/34 gtr rims ;P

I think mesh type rims look good on skylines, even the cheapish starcorp fusion look reasonably good. Much better than impulse...!!

Heh sorry. Whenever I see a car with mesh spokes I think "Standish Spec"...

my only question is...

Does it come in 18 speed version?

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      By jez NF · Posted

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.

      Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Cheers mate. Seems some people get lucky others don't. It looks like the motor was detonating (to be expected if it was overboosting I suppose) as the pistons had a lot of detonation damage, and the bearings were stuffed. The bores were very scoured too, not sure if that's from the pistons or bits of ceramic turbo. By the by now. Have been trying to avoid the rabbit hole too much on the rebuild, and there's been a few hurdles along the way, but with any luck I'll have the car back soon™. Might even pop up a thread then.
