Thanks guy's I love it.

Ben your a funny bastard. Nice work at targa by the way.

Neil.

Cheers Niel! It really does look the goods, I imagine it'd be a good thing to experiment with susp setups too, would be very responsive to change?

I know its the video thread, sorry to get off topic gents.....

Circuit: Sandown and Phillip Island

Car: R32 Skyline GT-R.

Driver: Me.

Lap time: Phillip Island 1.47.6 and Sandown 1.21.2 (neither of which I got any footage of, :D )

Camera: GoPro Hero mounted on my cage.

Great vid mate, and wel done in your first race! Nice to meet you out there too. Hopefully next time I can hang around a bit longer!

I'm planning on making my race debut at Lakeside next month...

Awsome, I plan on trying to make that event too. what a track to race at. I went out there april last year for an untimed sprint day. there was a race meeting the day after so i guess we were sweeping the track for them. By days end I was clocking regular 60 sec laps. I imagine racing there and on the new surface will be totaly different though.

found some incar form Gatton this year in the same car

And Lakeside last year from early in the day before the battery went flat. I was pulling 5th before the bridge after lunch and got braver onto the front straight. Damm batteries.

cool! yeah, Lakeside has to be the best track I've ever driven! The new surface is a bit quicker. Still bumpy, but its a bit grippier and the turn onto the front straight is wider as is the kink, which is a bit of a shame as its taken a bit of the challenge out of it. Rest of the track is the same, just resurfaced.

Here's my lap of Lakeside in my Supra (sold it last week) earlier this year on the new surface:

  • 3 weeks later...

Circuit: Wakefield Park

Car: Toda Civic - 2litre NA.

Driver: Me - Still learning, so abit messy - better laps @ the end.

Lap time: 68.3 seconds best

Camera: Ebay Digital cheapie from China - Velcro'ed onto a rear bar

9/10

LOL, you are a bigger lunatic then me...i love it :laugh: Great vid!

Thanks..It was towards the end of the day when I slapped on some used 225s to see if it made a difference. Kinda forgot that I needed to warm up the tyres abit more. Previously always using 205s..Interestingly, times dropped by slightly more than a second once the 225s were up to temp..

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
