I was driving the 32 you shot there. That was so close to a big spin but it recovered okay. Didnt realise the angle was that huge though!

Was a very well run day. We had issues the night before in true GTR fasion. Spat a front CV boot, had a speed cut on the factory ECU to get rid of and oil cooler lines etc to be made.

Between two drivers the pretty much stock GTR managed 80 something laps with no issues at all so was a sucessfull day.

Mine was a silver GTS-T w/ black rims,Post them all up mate :(

Got there in the afternoon, was great to see all the different cars out there. Man the white R33 gtst that smoke was cronic lol. Thought you were crazy still driving it round after that. Hope not to big of an issue. The R35 was the highlight to hear that thing around the track was like heaven. Cheers again to the organisers and thanks all the boys and girls for taking your cars out there so i had something to watch :(:D One day the Blue beast will be out there. One day lol.

That was me... He he he... Been chasing that problem now for 2 track days... Just trying to get some driving in as well...

In the afternoon I'd pulled the waste gate springs out, and as long as I kept the foot off it down the straight and didn't chuck it back into 3rd too early, she was all sweet and didn't smoke... unfort there was a few times I knocked it back to 3rd at like 140 pulling up for turn 2...

And that's why motors are built cheap in my car... You don't wanna hear about the first session and how "dodgy" that was... ROFL

Was a great day! Track was dry (at least for the time I was there) and cooler temps made for induction friendly boosting. I didn't have my shit together to get some track time, but did come along as a spectator. Will be sad to see Oran Park close up for good.

Here are a few pix I took. PM me if you want full size copies or perhaps a pic of your car from the day.

Hi Crew

What a massive day it was. Thanks so much for the support you all showed to come out to this day. To have Instuctors like Glenney, Bargwanna, Dyk and Seiders on hand made it so much easier for me to make sure everything was running smoothly. I was able to do a few laps in the afternoon which was great. I tried to tick every box that you would like at a track day....sorry there were no dancing girls though.

To have mechanical track support on hand if people needed it, which they did was fantastic....thanks Lofty and Scruff

From Matt Mead Photography (legend), the coffee guy, to medical staff, tilt trays, lunches, timing it was all pretty much there.

There will be plenty more of these days run in the future, obviously just not at Oran Park.

See all the pic's from the day here

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
