that one looks really good however I dont need all the parts in that kit.

All I need is the cooler and a braided line. I can get the braided line and fitting fromm Enzed. So it's only the cooler that I need. I think Autobahn has got one but I am not sure how good it is.

Keep me posted on the GB thing though.

The current bid price on the kit that you mention is a steal though. The oil filter adaptor thing alone cost more than $100

Hi.

What times does your S15 do on Mallala?

What have you done to the car? (Brakes, Suspension?)

195Kw is impressive.

Hi,

Since we lost the old post, I thought I'd post up a reminder:

Mallala public track day

Sat 6th Dec

meet Sefton Plaza cnr Main North and Regency Roads 9am

Racing/Scrutineering starts at 10am (I think)

approx. 7 x 1 hour blocks, with 4 x 15 minute sessions (one of each class - car, bike, go-kart and open wheeler I believe) in each block. So you get to race 15 minutes in every hour (which u want to do to cool down anyhow).

Cost $70

Need:

- helmet

- long sleeves

- closed shoes

- non nylon-flammable clothing

- full licence - NO P-PLATERS - sorry :D

We will be cooking a basic bbq on the day and ask a gold coin donation or whatever you deem appropriate. I will bring a little barbie, utensils, sauce, bread, snags and chevaps. If you want anything else to cook on the bbq feel free to bring it.

I think that about covers it!! Come out even if you don't want to race (not that there's ANY excuse for not racing :) ).

Please post your intentions below so I can get a rough idea of food requirements (again - sorry).

Suspension and brakes are stock, except for some good dot5 brake fluid and good pads. Hence my lap times weren't very good due to body roll, and the fact that my Dunlop LM702 tyres went molten after a couple of hard laps and it was like driving on ice ....

Yeah power delivery is very nice, but I always want more power. My best 1/4 mile run is a 12.74 which I don't think is too bad either :) My power should be a fair bit more now due to the extra mods I have done since, but peak power currently has dropped in favour of a much fatter power and torque curve from very low down all the way to redline. I need to buy a Power FC so I can fit the Z32 air flow meter I have, as my Unichip doesn't support it :D

Would have been there definetly however was on the track Friday doing a Precision and Performance driving course run by the Australian driving Institute. Steve Cramp was one of the Instructors. Let him have a drive as he set up the Suspension and to show me how I can be quicker. From checking back on the video he was doing 1.24min laps with two of us in the car and a boost leak.

fyi everyone - this post has been dug up from a year ago - that was when a few of us did the "SAU track day".

My brother-in-law David was out there on Friday too Greg - he was in his white R33 - he is a mate of Steve's - and Steve does most of the work on his car. I was planning to go too, but I didn't manage to get an oil cooler in time (it arrives in the next few weeks) plus work got really busy etc so I didn't make it. Last time I was there is was doing flat 1:35s, but as I said above had tons of body-roll and very slippery tyres :( .... your times are very impressive!

Chapman I will definitely do one of these courses next year - I'll post up details closer to the event and see if we can get a bit of an SAU group out there. It sounded like it was great fun and very informative.

Spewin, would have loved to take part but was working - will come out next time.

Sounds like you guys had lots of fun though!

What tyre pressures were you running Nightcrawler???

I was sort of wondering where this trackday suddenly appeared from. It was from a while a go. The next course to be run is in March.

Can't remember what tyre pressures I was running John - I think just stock pressure of around 33psi from memory. And in case you didn't read all of my last post - this event was LAST year - not recently!

But Grepin, the track day that my brother-in-law went to, was the one you were at last Friday just gone. He had the white 33 and his name was David.

Yeah met David. His car is quiet quick for what looks like little outlay. Wonder why we take our cars so far these days. I had what may be BOV sticking. Havent had a chance to have a look at it yet.

yeah he has done the right things then stopped at the right point. He had done little bits and pieces previously also, but has just completed a good upgrade:

- Power FC (tuned by Martin Donnon)

- GT turbo of some sort (maybe 25/35 hybrid or similar)

- triple core radiator

- oil cooler

- bigger injectors

- bigger fuel pump

- thermo fans

- FMIC

and now he is running 238rwkw - a good figure for (like you say) relatively simple mods, done correctly.

    • 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
