i was telling my brother about 1 of the clips where you had that gold commentary from the camera man @ the drag strip "get that up ya v8 carnts!" or something to that effect...i cant find it in this thread.

if anyone has the youtube link, please share it :)

That's how u do a farken burnouuuut....u farken weak v8ed carnts!!!

That's right when you live in the HSV capital of Australia, you gotta feed it to those pricks cause they hate imports hahaha nyaanyaa.gif

Doesn't look like we will be drag racing any time soon after this weeks wild floods and winds our local track Palmyra got destroyed.

40ft Sea Container blown ass over tit and the right hand lane just at the finish line the asphalt is all torn up and all the fences blown over. ohmy.gif

Awseome thread mate! Took me almost an hour to get through it all.

Shame about the track hopefully be back together sooner rathte than later.

P.S. love that comment by that camera man that has made my day :yes:

Hey guys

Haven't done an update in awhile, since the track has been repaired out at Palmyra we have managed to have a couple of runs. The track has no rubber left on fro the floods so the track is super slippery but that's why we have 4wd :). Anyway last night was the debut of the car with the 17" Mickey Thompson ET Streets and straight away the car is 100% better at everything. The flat shifter is working perfect with the PPG box and the car is driving straight as an arrow. With a better prepared track and little bit more power a low 9 is very achievable and will be punching out a 8sec pass in no time. Any way here is a compilation video i made up of the run enjoy.

that onboard rear view camera shows how shockingly quick your car is!

the smoke bellowing out warming up the tyres looks unreal!!!

i look forward to seeing what times u get into :)

Cheers Mate

I Love the Go Pro Camera's they give a real good sense of what it's actually like.... might have to buy a 3rd one. I'm really looking forward to hitting a really quality track like Willow-bank, Palmyra just does't have any grip at all.

Solid pass Ben! I saw that video last night whilst browsing youtube, love the burnout :D

RE: Go-pros... I found the opposite when doing some tarmac stuff earlier in the year. Need adjustable zoom!

Should do a video without the music and just the sound of the car in all angles. Built this big setup and one can hardly hear it :thumbsup:

    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
