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!

Pink180: Was yours the silver Sil80? Looked really nice mate, sorry to hear it's damaged.

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.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
