i menat in au3. sorry.

Yeah and doug and myself both have about double his power so still correct. Apparently he was running 6 degrees of camber :D

The coolest part was that he hadn't even widened the body with flares or anything, just had some 13 inch rims with some sticky rubber.

That was the blue one parked next to me up the top of the pits. I spoke to him late in the day and he said he'd run a 1:39. I dunno about his power but his suspension setup is mint and he was tweaking it all day.

What he lacks in outright power he'd certiainly make up in corner speed, 70kW does sound low though.

It definitely looked like a well prepped car, and sounded great too. Goes to show that suspension setup and talent are they key!

Side note: I checked my intake pipe and it has a hose clamp on it so it must be a standard T25.

A lot of people were spearing off the track on the sweeper on Saturday, Russ looked to have a wild ride in front of me in the second session!

I enjoyed it so much that I went off in the last session too! haha

I had an absolute blast with you guys out there on Saturday. It was my first real grip day as im usually drifting instead haha... The WRX guys did a fantastic effort running the day, one of the smoothest track days i have ever been to.

Cant wait to get back out there just got to find a new shell after i put the car into the wall on Sunday :)

Yeah that sucks man. I crashed mine last drift day. Hope you get it back out there.

Thankfully no. I had borrowed some rims for the back off a mate, they copped some heavy scratches so it looks like ive bought myself some more rims!

Hello fellow Nissan lovers, my first time on this forum - joined just before the track day.

Thanks to all that had a part in organising and running the event. I was messing about with my suspension during the day so it really helped to have as many runs as we did. I was progressively getting quicker and did my best lap time on my last run. (1:34.7)

I was impressed by how BBGTR gets out of the corners. I was behind him during a session and he was pulling about 20m on me as we put the power down.

Hey Paul, I did my best time in the last run as well, but still recall seeing your car disappearing into the distance down the straight. :D

btw I recall doing two super sprints but can't see both in the results. Is s21 the combined runs or was only one timed?

Hi Paul,

Great time, I didn't do the supersprints - perhaps I should of as the track was getting faster all day!! I was having a few sideways moments around the boobs with power oversteer - apart from that the car seemed to behave itself.

Hope to see you at more events, need a few more R32's to play with!

Cheers

Yeah its a totally diffrent car. Still wants to lock the rears but apart from that the mid corner and exit grip is higher than anything ive ever driven. It actually feels like it gets out of corners quicker than a GTR now. Soooo happy.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
