Any one interested in a cruise sat nite? It would be fun.

I am up for a midnight or late cruise

I will be bugged after a track day and a chrismas dinner on sat.....but I like to test out the new 540....that's if I could get them today

Getting excited about this track day now

Pitty that most ppl car are not ready yet :)

Erica and I will be coming down for a look, but not at 10:00am!! Way too early!! :) We'll get there at about lunch time.  Matt you coming with us or working on your car?

I'm a coming......like a grease monkey =p better bring a towel for ole stinky to sit on----love the grease.

got my re540s and wheel alignemt today :)

alignment is a tad less than perfect :) but that will do for now

re540s on my 16" stock rims are sticky but seems to sideroll a lot more than what was on my 18". However the weight loss from 18"-->16" rims feels great in term of acceleration. I weighted last night and it's something like almost 19kg/4 wheels. ....hmm need to find some twisty roads tonight to get use to this setup and prepare for track tomorrow.

So are you guys meeting at Sefton for a small cruise up there? Cant wait to hit some high speed corners tomorrow :D

Common guys, come down the track and burn some rubber.

The event was so fun.

There were 3 porsches there, 911tt4wd, GT3 and a ?996 race car. I think matt said I am about 5 sec behind the 911. This is not bad considering it's my first time there and the alignment setting was not setted as aggressive to prolong tyres life.

However, it did not feel like a 5 sec slower with those beast around. It's really difficult to keep up!!!!! I was getting the hang of it until my supercharger belt shredded :) Luckily there was no other damge and the car is still driveable. Well no boost or 9krpm for the next few weeks for me.

I think we all had fun there today. Thanks for the delicious food nightcrawler.

We should organise another Skyline track day. I hope we will get more pple next time.

Quote of the day

"You are faster than nightcrawler" from Matt

hehehe poor nightcrawler with a fresh set of Dunlop street rubber. It must have been difficult to control that beast.

yes, yes it was :cheers: .... was very unhappy with my LM702s and found out why when we got home - after a couple of laps they went molten .... they have melted and set several times over by the looks of it - lots of thick patches that had been very runny at some point.

Was a fun day anyhow - and I only spun it once. I well and truly proved the point that my car needs new suspension too :(

was a good day out, im burnt today tough. Andrew you need betr rubber and suspension, Well done dan those 540's work a treak, nex time hope to see more out there and mabye ill have my own car by then

yes, had I had 540s on the front and rear like Dan, maybe I coulda got some of my power to the ground :cheers:

It was great sideways fun all the same :( .... love the 4 wheel dorifto

Nice meeting you guys too.

Many thanks to nightcrawler for organising the event, providing the delicious food and putting on a drift show on the race track in front of 2 porsches hehehehe.

I am itching to get back there again guys. I want to up my boost so much to catch up with the 911 turbo. Apparently that is the fastest road legal/track car in Australia as money can buy :rofl:

I hope you will get your beast then too mattr

Nightcrawler when will you be ready again?

John your car is nice mate

I think we should aim for an April day .... when the weather starts getting a bit cooler, but it is still unlikely to rain.

And maybe I can sort out my suspension and save up for a set of new 540s by then :) - then maybe I can keep up with you Dan :rofl:

I betta bring a spare belt then :D

nightcrawler, I had a look and found that

250F is about 121Celcius...it's not too bad.

My temp maxed at 132C which is about 270F :rofl:

I need an oil cooler mate.

Which oil cooler do you recommend mate?

We should do a group buy .... I have been following the progress of this one on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...gory=43807&rd=1 - I will be interested to see how much it goes for. It sounds like he has a business - so maybe we can approach him to do a group buy? Anyone else interested in an oil cooler? As the ad says it helps slow down the degradation of your oil - hence makes it work better for longer.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
