WTF, no long sleeve Super Lap t shirts.

On a positive note, Awesome turn out, lots of shiny bits in the stalls and lots of nice people.

Also the double choc with nuts ice creams me and my daughter had were sweeeeet.

I only got out there for a couple of hours on Friday arvo. My camera went flat, but I managed to get a few pics....

thanks for the photo link

1.33's for the 'Handbrake' r35 and 1.32's for the Gt Auto r35 is pretty impressive for a 'shakedown' weekend.

YESSS toe master.. we did good. john was heaps happy with the 1.35 boston did in it in the morning session, pitty the engine expired and one of the air filters caught fire in the second session. stock bottom end vq30 7900rpm 20 psi. ish.. head gasket failure or some bent rods. i will find out soon i suspect.. either way it wont turn over.

Bugger, I spoke to JP last night and it sounded like there was a bit of fiddling around getting it sorted yesterday. He was copping some shite for his aero work two years ago, now it looks pretty pedestrian compared to some of the wilder efforts out there.

He was pretty happy with the relative performance of the batmobarge since it is (was) still running a stock bottom end.

Anyway that looks like a pretty good time by Boston.

Awesome weekend. Was great to meet people face to face from SAU forums. Thanks for coming to say hi.

I'm so happy with how my car went. 1:42.43 was quicker than i expected.

So many little things in this last few days that had to be sorted but it all came together thanks to good people around me willing to help out.

Whats the rumor about Cyber accusing Sierra Sierra of running naws? great pits etc but on track was boring as bat shit. 10 mins of nothing, cars go out, 2 mins red flag, repeat. Drifting started great, then went the same way. Seemed like no-one knew what was happening out there..

Russ....awesome time mate beating some impressive cars out there - well done! :thumbsup:

Lol looks like I've got no hope of keeping in front of you at the Vic tracks now :blink:

Unfortunately that is the way pretty much all 'big' events have gone over the last couple of years. The organizers need to figure out very early on if they want a participants event or a spectators event.

i really dont have a problem with it, thats what the sports like people really dont need to be stimulated by something every 10 seconds do they ?

oh and which 32 was yours russman there were one or two there that sounded f**king angry as down the straight

thanks for lending me a 13mm spanner to fix our brake master cyl on friday :)

mayby i should wide body my r32gtr.... needs to fit big rubber

Ahh. Dave... I didn't put the forum name to the face haha.

Shame about the head gasket but good to see a decent time first! You and John would be happy I assume?

Don't worry bout wide body, Just get a hammer out! it's what we did haha

Mine had silver front guards. Has a screamer so probably the one you're thinking of.

    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
