I just searched the brisbane council website and they reckon they'll be doing demo laps and racing

i reckon i'll ask the people on the gate if the skylines are running before i pay, was a little disappointed last time, although still good to see some great cars running around

Yeh sorry about last year.....don't think Terry was planning on doing an exit into the walls. Was my fault on the R31......the cam cracked on a cool down lap which as you can expect pretty much stuffed the top part of the engine.

What I can confirm at the moment is that there is definitely 2 R32's running, The R31 blew a head gasket at Morgan Park and more than likely wont be running and the DR30 is definitely running(might even have some HP for this event....going on the Dyno today).

The rest of the Group A/C field looks pretty good as well.

C'mon, a headgasket isn't hard to replace. Hell, bring the car and the R31 club boys will fix it with duct tape and cable ties in the paddock :)

At least tell me the car will be there on display if its not going to race?

Sorry wont be there at all unless his changed his mind from when I spoke to him on Sunday....the head Gasket was only the start of the damage....also detonation in 5 and 6.......the new owner does have a spare motor but his had a fair bit on his plate in the last month or so so I am pretty sure he wont make it back to Sydney - Motor out - Motor in - Dyno - and back to Brisbane by next weekend to race it....logistic's alone would have him pretty buggered.....I have offered to help him even though I am still working on the DR30's prep but I am pretty sure he wants a break before Muscle Car.

      I downloaded the apps (for windows) and Consult 1 doesn't have this function on it for the Consult 1 plug which I'm pretty sure all Skylines have. You would think someone would have a workaround after 30 years for all Skylines which have ABS.

      Also, I don't know the actual ABS system on the skylines, but a sneaky thing could be a piece of electronic equipment that makes the ABS think you're moving, and then same piece can send a signal for a locked up tyre... Activate ABS without slamming brakes...

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.
