Paul managed a 53.48 on the sprint with a small amount of casual water in the dipper section.

I managed a 53.9 today, dry track and not that pretty a lap. caught myself out braking too deep into turn 5 whilst watched Aaron Hodges in his crazy Escort park it in the dirt at the hairpin of turn 6 (1:45-1:50)

thanks Drew, saw you got a 55.04 out there today. did you manage to crack into the 54.xx's? Bill was hitting some PB's also

its been said before, but damn these cars are quick!

didnt do better than 55. group a and b joined as one and I couldnt get a full lap in without going off line. Then out of fuel.

Yes, damn quick cars! cant wait to get back out there next year

Thanks for the Vids made my lunch that much more enjoyable :thumbsup:

That overtaking manoeuvre looked like he was overtaking the Porsche at a standstill!!!

I met Paul a few years ago friendly guy, did he give any feedback in regards to how driving your car compares to others he has driven?

very friendly and generous with his time.

he was very surprised by the performance of the car. he thought a while back that we might adversely effect the performance of teh car with our mods but he was very impressed. so much so that when he got back in he wanted to devote a few sessions on the other tracks with no traaffic to see what he could get.

his only comment was to get new tyres on the thing! he reckons that with new tyres and suspension tuning on a dry track we would break into the 52's on the sprint with no more mods.

will get along to some stokell days at lakeside and morgan park next year to get some more 'data laps' with him driving. one of the big things I noticed with him driving is that the car is begging to be hustled through the slow corners adn can carry enormous speed through the high speed sweepers. with so much grip you could be extremely brutal with short sharp accelarations and braking in the slower ares of the track without really upsetting the car too much - no coasting! the short jabs on the breaks in the tight corners really does help the car turn in better

After having casually looked at yours and other guy's lap times in this section, it's interesting to see how they compare to a pro. Well done for being so close too!

I can imagine it would've been very helpful to speak to him and see him put the car through its paces

Paul had very little time to get familiar with the car and the track conditions were not the best.

I reckon with a little more time in the car and better track conditions he would be close to 52's without new tyres!

Martin, the brakes have been working really well thanks.

The transmission also is keeping under 125, usually just on 120. when I forget to flick the switch (we have it hooked up to a switch, not triggered) temps can run up to 130-135+.

Paul likes the power at where it is, and reckons not to push for more. Having said that he also said that when it was stock!

Yes, I have a little bit of nerd work on the workstation at home to do with the circuit tools software to find the tenths (or seconds!)

gotta have something to do whilst the car is out of action for the next few months. beats watching another run of masterchef or whatever with the missus.

I notice more throttle between corners 3 and 4.

Also, count through the gears as Paul is on the front straight. It looks like he goes down to 2nd gear on the last corner!??

btw Drew, you need a Vbox. should look into it.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
