its a custom built RB32 from signature performance in Ipswich, Mick built it and drives it and has had it for the 3 or 4 years i have known him. Noel knows more about power figues and the like but it is very impressive. He had a lot of trouble getting the power down

that we did for sure,

as Fine line said, we made allot of changes in the lead up to super lap but really ran out of time, even down to changing brake rotors at midnight, the night before we left.

thursday practise saw a few more dramas with us blowing a diff up (just got too hot and the lsd gave way) a phone call to Nismo saw the QLD rep ringing around for us thursday night/friday morning and by 10AM friday we had a brand new Nismo 2 way lsd sitting on the pit bay floor. My mechanic and i then frantically re-built the diff, missing the first session of the weekend.

the diff helped but turned out that wasn't our only issue, with the car unstable through corners we pulled the boost back and made it easier to drive- the car got better lap times with less power-

on the positive note though, eastern creek was a great track to drive and the event was awesome, lots of fun had by all,

we will be going back next year for sure.

our data logger was showing a gps speed of 258 kph down the straight, the fastest ive been in that car, with turn one approaching at those speeds it gave me a great deal of respect for the pro guys who hardly brake for that corner,

Your effort just to get there was a win in itself Mik, Hope to see you back bigger and badder next year mate. :)

thanks mate,

yeah we'll be going strong next year, develop the car further, we have a drive train thats bullet proof now, so we just need to get it to turn corners,

Agreed!

It was awesome to see you down there Mick! With a full year to develop what is already a strong base you should have a really good event next year.

Personally I loved the thing, was one of the quickest looking cars out there each session. Looks like a heap of fun to drive too, like a big go kart!

Did you wear ear plugs when driving it?

same here... it was the most memorable car of the event... and it sure wasnt slow..

If i was driving something that loud it would want to be a lot damn quicker than that.

Had a bunch of honda fanboiz in front of us in the stands and even they cringed when it went past,

The silver s2000 was another story though, That thing was porn.

i really enjoyed the experience being at eastern creek for the first time and was unofficially the Fastest 4cyl NA RWD @ Superlap 2010 with the 1:46.239 so i was pretty happy

i just hope next year it can be somewhere else eg Phillip Island so that i can goto another track that i've never driven on

Ah mate I didn't realise you were a fellow QUEENSLANDER!!!!!!! (Suck shit Blues! :blink:)

I watched you going around all weekend thinking "thats a very well driven S2k". Good work mate :)

You dont happen to have another front bar/splitter lying about for sale do you?

I like that red S2000, sounded very nice at full noise

:blink:

maybe,

the front bar/splitter (along with the other aftermarket panels) is one that we made here in the shop, its a carbon fibre composote and worked really really well,

we made it as we couldn't find anything that would do the job we wanted in the way we wanted, since making it we have had allot of interest in them.

we will soon be producing them and offering them up for sale, stay tuned

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
