*Sigh*

Gearbox oil change cost me $330 :P Definitely won't be able to afford this :)

I shouldn't do it anyway, last one must have chewed my tyres. Put brand new tyres on the rear about 6000kms ago and mechanic has informed me i will need new ones in about 5000kms :D Can only put it down to the skidpan as i drive my car like its an excel, never done a skid or anything...

I would love to come...But something about driving an AWD Non-turbo makes me think i = fail

Got something against non-turbo's? :)

Lol just go along mate, i own an NA Skyline and had the time of my life, was great fun. Nobody judges you for your car :laugh:

Because these are Motorkhana courses, you really don't need a powerful car to have fun, and it's about learning to handle and control your car, so it's definately worthwhile.

Mate we have had all sorts of cars on these track days from very high hp Skylines, V8 Commodore right down to n/a Fwd cars (Excel, Pulsar) so unfortunately we dont accept your response as an excuse :D

So sign up and learn something about your car :D

I participated in a double skin pan event organised earlier this year. The technical aspects are the same as the single skid pan but there is the added fun of higher terminal speeds. So for the guys with bigger turbos this event will provide an opportunity to stretch their legs.

In short, I hate you guys for going there without me...that is all :P

Keets, if you want to have SOME part in this event, i dont mind taking your R for a lap or 3. I have a good reord of keeping cars on the black stuff. I do have 1 or 2 indiscretions are on record though. (have about 10 more off record haha)

I have photographic evidence of a particular excursion :P

Wish I could attend this but it's a bad time of year financially :D

    • 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
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
