Howdy all,

Good day had by all it seems, few slow people and a few more who had a strange attraction to knocking over the cones!

Nah that was just me ;D

Had a blast though even though I had no clue as to what I was doing... for most of the day I was using the footbrake which as I found out doesn't work so well on a skidpan. Just towards the end the nice bloke in the orange XR6T gave me a tip about using the handbrake (hope the car's ok mate!) and then I was actually starting to have some fun ... sooooo much better with the handbrake!! Wish I'd come more rested and willing to ask for tips but was just too tired and wanted to get out there.

Now I secretly wish the car doesn't sell before november :P Thanks to the organizers and volunteers, twas an awesome day.

Big ups to EVERYONE who organised yesterday. Without you, none of this would be possible, and we would have all been bored shitless on a Sunday instead of raping the shit out of our cars :P

Can't wait for the photos... Kory, those look amazing!

edit::

hope there's some of my skiiiiiiiiiids, i know joel got some

Here's a video of yours and David's car in action.

Got others too but all you hear is the wind lol

Link's not working :D

Yes I got some pics :P, Yeah my 180 is the one with the red plates, s15 stockies on the rear and the blue battery triangle :)

WOW, what a day.

HUGE thanks to all for making such an awesome day possible, i know many man (and Lady) house go in behind the scenes to make ti work, as well as lots of people giving up their Sundays!

I was sad to leave early after only 2 battles, but had to see my old man for fathers day! Although he was more interested in seeing some pics from the day than seeing me :P

Thanks again to everyone, great to meet heaps of new people too, and see them all having so much fun!

Cant wait for more pics, some great pics there guys, looking forward to the rest. Cheers!!!

I took a fair few videos too, will sort them out tonight and post them up. :D

What an awesome day.. Thanks to everyone who put the time/effort in to making everything run smoothly.

But most of all thanks to Chris for letting me dual enter his ranga XR6 Turbo. Sorry about the tyres mate.. haha. Hopefully my car is ready for the next one.

To all those that wondered, GD2ILA drove home just fine. Funnily enough, the ride on the M7/M2 was much smoother on the ride home - the front tyres had been flat spotted from the Wakie day. But all those skidz seemed to have re-trued my tyres muhahaha :D

Of course I'm shure I've cut the life of the rest of the drive train in 1/2. :P

Hey to all you that have video of my White 33 GTR. I'll pay you a few bucks for them if you will shoot me a DVD with the raw video file. PM me so we can work out some details. Or maybe we should set up a video swap day somewhere. I've got a few vids I took on the day.

(This especially goes for you Mr A. Moocow - i want that vid of me Drifting the GTR)

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
