Guys, thanks for being such a fantastic bunch of people to work with.  

Hope you all enjoyed the day.

Rianto is an absolute legend, he puts so much effort into organising these events.

Cheers Kev

A pleasure Kev.... ;) Looks like it's a great day for everyone...

Hope a good one on Sunday too!

Yeah, thanks Rianto and Kev - had a great time. But gees I needed a good sleep after it, I was buggered! :)

I'm looking forward to seeing other pics and videos of the event, so I'll keep my eyes open for that.

Yay for Geocities ... :)

I had an awesome day today. What a change of focus. Instead of losing some traction and trying to get back on line and in control it was about losing traction and maintaining control and line. Totally different to anything I have done previously and eventually achieving a full lap sidways with minimal steering input was a true challenge and a real blast.

Kevin is an absolutely awesome controller of a car, demonstrated by by getting into a totally new machine time and again and throwing it around like he drives it everyday. I remain impressed as hell. Once I would have looked at this sort of thing and thought "you want to drive the car sideways...why?" The truth is, there are not always perfect conditions and this is without a doubt an essential skill...just hope I don't need to use it.

It was an awesum time on sunday and coz there were only 5 of us there we got a bit extra time than the saturday guys i think. And boy was i stuffed when i got home also, and boy was the car full of dirt also ;)

I am just glad nothing on mine broke, coz that was the run in of my new turbo.

A couple of guys took some photos on sunday didnt they??

Was good fun but my advice to anyone wanting to do this that has a 4wd - make it 2wd before you go because its damn hard otherwise! ;)

Although you do get to learn just how much damn grip these GTR's have. OMG.

Just wanted to also say a quick thanks to Kev, your skill in getting into any car and making look like your own is trully admirable. I really enjoyed the day and thought that you had tons of patience especially for noobs like me... Ill try to stop saying sorry tho next time I spin out :Oops:

Rianto, your a legend indeed. That was some of the best fun Ive ever had in my car. Im sure that these are skills that will make me a safer driver on the road.

Enjoyed meeting everyone and seeing the beast aka E55 in action.

    • 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.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
