at this stage it will be Mark, Rebecca and I... Not sure about SteadyEddy/Chris.

Jeno and Jo can't be there :)

Bullet32 is too soft and has a frangipani show on

James doesn't know what he's missing out on

Donnons mum won't let him

Reeces car is never in one piece long enough and he still hasn't given me back my clutch line :(

hmm that enuff sm@rt @rsin' from me to make up for being so quiet lately :)

You were doing some great times out there at the last one. Well done!! I thought it was impressive given you haven't had a lot of runs around that track. I think you'll be putting up a great battle at future events.

In regards to the actual hillclimb times. Do the GTS-T's suffer much from RWD syndrome? I know there are lots of other RWD cars that run but in comparison to the GTR's around the circuit, how do they fair??

P.S - I bought a helmet today and my diff is fixed so I'll be out joining in with you guys once I have a membership with someone + CAMS licence. I don't think i'll be out for competition, i just want to go out and come back with a big smile on my face.

I've actually got a motorkhana on that weekend up in Newcastle, and your clutch line will be back to you in the next week :D

:P YES, I think its worth at least 2 seconds in the launch, but its not as bad around the track, I think lag would be a bigger problem than grip up the hill.

I'm another one that can't go now, booked to go to Melbourne. Shame I'll have to wait 12 months for a 2 lapper. Money's been put towards the next two events.

My times were ok, hoping to slip into the 47's Still not too bad considering all the people that beat me on the day came in fully preped race WRX sti/EVO's. I have all the grip I need right now, the body roll is the main problem.

I wanted to see the upgraded GTR beast go around the track.

So you would agree Reece that the GTS-T's would be disadvantaged enough to not warrant fighting for positions against other suitable hill climb cars and they should really just aim for the fun and social aspect of it (and against other GTS-Ts)..

If so, that so doesn't worry me, because I'm all for the fun of the thing more than anything.

^^ what he said.

The GTST's are in a different class. I won quite a few classes with my GTST and if its smile factor you're after... then you're going to get value for money.

Ahh didn't think about classes, thanks guys.

Yeh, I'm more than keen to start running in these events, I keep watching all the SDMA vids on youtube making me more and more keen.

Yeah the GTR's are in type SV and we are in Type1-2-3 (depending on mods) over 3000cc. We are extremely competitive in type 1/2 but not as much in type 3.

Did I miss something here? "over 3000cc"?

Does anyone have a list of what mods put you in what class?

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
