I was at the bridge and waved the yellow after you past by slowly!

You could hear the knocking quite clearly, I just thought damn, that ain't cool!

Aww, I feel special... All this flag waving from you and Chris...

I was very tempted to take it 4WD and cross country it, but didn't know what the infield would be like, so attempted to keep her off the racing line and out of everyone's way... :thumbsup:

Half thought of pulling over, but that would have just ruined the session for people. Motor was already f**ked by that stage...

Had to drive it up onto the car trailer this morning anyway... :thumbsup: Unfortunately leaving skylines over night doesn't make them self heal... :yes:

Ah well, it goes to the mechanic end of July... Then we'll work out what to do, but I'm thinking a cheap fix of another stock RB30 bottom end, and while that's getting murdered, having the other block fully built with a dry sump setup to prevent the age old oil surge from happening.

Was still a great day, and I can proudly walk away saying "I've driven Oran Park GP Circuit... And decimated a motor out there too" LOL

150KMs on that motor after run in... And who was the first person there to inspect how well I'd spun a bearing... Duncan... ;)

Awesome day and glad to see everyone enjoyed themselves... apart from the list of incidents and engine failures... oh yeah and that debarcle of driver briefing... lets not waist an hour of track time again like that!!!! Perhaps a slightly different arrangement can be thought out for future events... ie.. Quick usual 15 min talk for all peeps, then newbies stay behind for the full version, whilst the experience guys go out to get their first sessions done. By the time (30-45 minutes) the briefing is done for newbies, its their turn to get out on the track.... just my 2c....

To those peeps that i jumped in with, WELL BLOODY DONE!!! Really impressed with each and everyone of you! George, Charles, Andy & Ian (think that was it) I hope my ear bashing and dodgy lines provided a bit of assitance to the day!

Stu mate that car of yours is absolutely brilliant!! Was fun chasing it in the failvia and watching you constantly fight the thing for traction... congrats on its first outing and making it thru in one piece! Testiment to driver and builder!!

Failvia held up well and gave me some good practise for our next Round of SSCC!! ;)

Bring on the next one!!! Congrats to all that organised and helped out... the day was a great success!

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
