If you had given me more notice I could've grabbed a R33 GTR drivers seat for you Dave. I have a Series 3 in my driveway doing nothing but gathering dust. CBF doing it now or tomorrow morning though.

So what time are you guys leaving Villies? And is it a counter meal for lunch then - so I don't have to make sandwiches.

Well im finally packed and ready for an early start. Just gonna make some sangas and hit bed. See you guys nice and early ;) I'll try and make it to Vilis at 6.

When brake fluid goes from max to min, pretty much always mean you've cooked the pads down to the backing plate that holds the pad material in place, mine lasted 80mins of mallala abuse before I had to change them.

That was me that helped u mate. Did u get home all ok?

Was a great day out and money well spent. Can't wait to get out again. Thanks to Adrian for organising it all. Can't wait to see pics now.

. Did u get home all ok?.

hence why I had to leave when i did, city south rd traffic with backing plates for front pads..... :D

took it nice and easy; slot newies in tomorrow, and get back out there asap

Yeah awesome day! Thanks again Adrian for organising. Managed to run a 1.27.46 as per Race Chrono (unconfirmed with the video footage), so pretty happy with that. Should be a 1.25 in it with some sharpening up. Will post some vids up on youtube. Can't believe how punishing the track is on brake pads. Good work Luke (ENR_34) for helping everyone. :ninja:

Oh and nice video Lance! Love the dirt action!! :P

Awesome Day!!! Had a brilliant time. :ninja:

Thanks to Adrian (Rad32) for organising it. Thanks to Kim (V35-2005), Lance (Moodles2) & Luke (Heslo) for lending me your tools etc during the day.

Thanks to the two guys that helped me change my wheels over (I can't think of your names right now & I know that I've met one of you a couple of times - sorry).

Thanks to the Peugeot designers & mechanics from the 1980s for finally giving me something nice to say about the French. Pity about every car since...

I ended up going out for 7 sessions and reckon that I had about 30mins in total where I had the track to myself. Especially right at the end. Brilliant!

I'm pretty confident that I won the 'Most Spins' category with a grand total of 10 - although technically I didn't actually spin every time but the car did end up where it wasn't meant to.

How I hear you ask: 3 times because I was (am) an idiot and didn't warm up my tyres first hence I usually spun at the back hairpin on the first lap. It took me 3 sessions to work this out *face palm*

4 times I was pushing it about 15-20kmph faster through corners than I had done previously. I accept that. That's part of the fun.

And 3 times I just f**ked up. Wrong line, wrong speed, wrong pedal whatever. I'm sure that I provided some entertainment to the spectators. :P

Maybe I should change my user name from 'writeoff' to 'spinoff'. :D

Brendan (Tangles) - I have your helmet and will probably drop it off on Thursday if that's cool?

Someone left a hammer against the southern wall of the 1st group of sheds closest to the track. Dave's (scandyflick) car was there most of the day.

Someone else left a black funnel at the opposite end of the same shed. Above where Lance's (Moodles2) tools were.

There were also some cables ties but I'm keeping those.

I look forward to the driver training on November 23. Clearly I need it. Hopefully I'll have the GTR back by then.

PS - pity all the Jap crap out there couldn't keep going until the end of the day. :) How many casualties were there? I don't think my GTR would have survived 7 sessions & 10 spins.

    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
