Why not take the Skyline? Just because it doesn't have massive power doesn't mean you can't race it, especially on a more technical track like Winton. Head up there, learn the lines, the braking points, feel how your car handles, etc.

Yeah this is true I went to the last one of these and it was way to crowded you could get 1 good lap in if you were at the front of the line then it was peak hour traffic and to many slow cars since anything that has 4 wheels pretty much enters.

thats true, last one i went to there was a few hyundais and vw golfs xr6's etc its a "fun day"

Really? You wouldn't think people would take their family cars up there. We've never been to one before, been to a test and tune, that wasn't bad.

It's not so much it's lack of turbo that bothers me, my car has enough power for what I want... but it's very embarrassing cruising around in a Skyline with a huge ding in it....my back left has a flared guard now :P How I hate stupid big 'cars' with bull bars, apparently silver is a very hard colour to see.

Sooo, who went to Winton today? We cruised up there in the FTO, been doing too many Km's in the 34 lately. 1500 kms a week is to much for my poor baby.

Any one see us?

its Brenton typing now: wasnt a bad day except that 2nd drivers breifing because some1thought it was a destruction derby haha, saw a white stagea but it was pretty slow(did c 2 though) few skylines including a purple r33gtr that the dude wanted an oil cap because he lost his and had to get back 2 ballarat.

1st time around i passed this white r34 but i think it must have been a non turbo, any1 here? had green p plates, few nice cars including a silver gtr r33 that was pretty damn fast any1 here?

subaru spun which was cool 2 watch, blue evo was off its head and there was this green supercharged vs commodore that sounded like crap and was slow an full of rats too lol.

ooh yeah there was a stock as a rock corrolla, eb 6cyl auto ford driven by a l plater and laser that were slowing every1 down not to mention the overweight mullet wearing kid L plater in the 6 cylinder holden hq? wagon with 1 of those paper airfilters sticking out of the bonnet, it was as funny as it was sad lol.

anyway who went and what car were u in (colour 2)???????

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
