You'd be suprised. Last year at OP South someone brought a $200 VP wagon (or similar) along to the track and did considerably better than alot of the Skylines on the day.

Then again, the gearbox was leaking oil and large chunks of metal at the end of the day :thumbsup:

I picked this body up for less. My old man had it, it's been in the family for a few years. He told me "if you can fix it up and register it, it's yours". Now I'm getting another car for that, and the vl will be a track car.

A previous owner ran the gearbox without any fluids (amazingly it still works), then it was passed on to my father, who has broken basically every car on the indestructible list. How it's still alive I have no idea, in such good condition I have even less of a clue. All I know is that something will break when I race it, just don't know what yet. Luckily, 99% of this car will be getting replaced anyway.

I have a small bitch.

Last track day at Oran Park I paid my $140.00 and couldn't make it. I'm now in a race to get the car finished, so can I get on the list temporarily till I know more.

Cheers,

Dennis

Well I made progress and the Skylines is ready for tuning now, But I still need a gearbox, and no 3rd gear at Wakie would suck I recon. :P

I'll have to take my chances with a spot.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
