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 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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!

      Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
