Congratulations to the organizers and everyone else involved in the running of this event, was an awesome and entertaining day.

Had a blast driving my car around the track, just wish i had gone back out again to try and beat 1.30, but now i have a starting point and can work towards beating the next milestone. Thank you to SAU:SA for awarding me with "Consistent Driver of the Day", totally wasn't expecting it.

Thankfully the day went along smoothly and the weather stayed fine, and no one had any major issues (having a crash).

I will definitely be going along next SAU:SA Grip Day.

hi I'm jess I was with Shane on monday. Despite a 4:30am start (ouch) I Thought it was a great day and was nice to meet some new people, compared to some other track days I've been to you seem like a great bunch of people, very chilled out and welcoming. I will have my r34 out at the next day for sure. Thanks, Jess

Ps - thanks to the guy who let me borrow his helmet, appreciated :D

Who's car you get to go out in?

yes I was very very lucky, totaly didn't expect that. But it was just to give me a idea about what to expect when I head out next time

And poor Shanes been listening to me winge about not getting on track at lala yet for years lol so it was appreciated

hahaha it wasn't predominantly a passenger track day but Shane would of got special permission to take Jess out

Shane also has a current L2S CAMS license (not the recreational license issued on the day) which would have gotten him some brownie points with the CAMS reps on the day.

:yes:

Just another reason why it makes cents ($) to join SAUSA ;)

Was very exciting watching you guys out there. Glad i could help out where i could on ppls cars. Big congrats to the SAU-SA committee for organizing a well maintained event :yes:

Think i might need to make my car a full track car now. Cant wait to join you guys out next time.

Thanks Sled, I am real keen to catch up & watch some video of my GTR.

As far as I know, Prestige Walkerville sold the first 2 or 3 R33 GTRs that

were imported into Adelaide. The first was my Street GTR which was

purchased by Doug Dinan back in 1998 ( I bought it off him in 2001)

& now my mate Mike Fox owns it ( He will bring it out on the next track day)

The next was another silver R33 in 1999 that got written off hard core on

GJ road in 2002. Then my Race R33 which was a total stocker down to the

original tyres. Of course since then they started coming in by the boatload

but back in the day they were a quite rare & very expensive car & thats why

Prestige dabbled with a few clean low kay examples before all the little car

yards jumped on the bandwagon.

Just doing 2 sessions in my R35 & pulling a few 16s was enough to write off

my Bridgestones (although they werent in the best shape to start with!)

Mallala is VERY hard on tyres.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
