Guys, it was great to take the R35 to an event like this. Thanks for the vids and photos. Personally I thought the day was perfectly organised, and it was great to be able to take passengers. The rain was a blessing for me. Drag racing and track days are easy compared to this sort of thing. It was the first time driving the car on a skid pan and I have a lot to learn! I look forward to the next one. Once I work out how to get my videos from the gopro to youtube I'll share them around.

nice vids, love the 35 gtr one.

so who was quickest overall for the day? :P

I think N1GTR and Doof will agree, but it was just to hard to add up the times as half the people did 2 courses that the other half didn't and vica versa, also when the rain came down alot of cars lost their numbers. I only got 1 timed run out of 6 courses in my 32, and no timed runs in the Clio. I actually got 3 timed runs when I borrowed Joel's Clubman (All fastest times, but would have to put this down to the car.....WWHHHEAPON)

But I reckon, Gerard Sasso was REALLY quick in his MX-5, Liz in her 180 was quick when she kept it on the tarmac :D , Both of the Silver 32 GT-R's where using 4wd to there advantage along with silver 33 GTR, and of course My canberran team mate ZCR, Zane robertson got a 2 fastest times in his 32 Gtst. Also sorry to all of the 33 GTS-T owners that drove well, as all you 33's look the same to me....... :)

Thankyou very much for driving the new GTR like it should of been, great to see it out there with all 4 wheels spinning, and like I said if you ever forget how much fun RWD is, we could always swap for a run next time.............. :P

In the future, if a car is going to be there with biig fark awf stickers saying number 262, make sure to tell the exec team so we can accomodate the timing sheets for you :)

I think we're done with the shoe polish numbers too, we're going to be testing out some affordable stickers to see if they come off the cars easily enough.

No worries.

Would be great to have you and your brothers mates back again!

I'm going to get a race number made for my car now... :)

I wasn't having a dig, I was just saying alot of drivers missed timed runs due to unforseen circumstances :P

I had the big Numbers 32 and 197, and I thought that were going to be my numbers, and I'm guessing from the overbooking problem I got forgotten about (so did my second entry)and 32 was allocated to some bloody (awesome) camaro (yank tank with the race numbers 32 is so wrong)

Heads up for next time, skyline is 32 and Renault clio is 197, prob only do demo/Joke runs in the clio next time as the 32 is just to much fun to slide :)

I know a few people with the race number 32, so you're lucky they don't come along :P

Just remind us when you sign up for the next one... I still haven't seen a form from you!

And yeah, I didn't think you were having a dig, the plan was to have everyone do every course and get the times, but we braved the rain for as long as we could... It would have all been hunky dory if it didn't piss down sideways for an hour, but there's not much we could have done about that...

What about magnetic signs? Might cost more upfront, but would be reusable at any event... buy blank ones and just write the number on it in big black texta...?

Magnetic signs are also on the whiteboard of brilliant ideas... we are going to price them up, but if they end up costing too much, we're just going to have to say no.

Unfortunately, trusting everyone return it at the end of the day is just too big of an ask. I somehow manage to take something home from every SAU event :happy: I always return it later, but others might not be at as many events to return SAU property as me...

Yes yes... I read the exec section each time before posting here...

There are still a few problems with that though, it's a whole bunch of admin someone is going to have to do in the arvo! :happy:

I'm not bothering to speak til I see what the prices are. Theoritaclly, it's probably the best answer to our problem, but it depends on cost, quality and how many we get back.

Fixed :D

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
