I was under the impression that the two day "BYO car" event started next Monday followed by the six half day sessions starting wednesday next week. What's been happening this week? Are you sure you haven't got your weeks mixed up?

Ill be there Thursday morning. Those that are there please come up and say hello. With my luck it'll be pissing down again like last year. Oh for just one dry lap of PI!

Wed through to Fri are not BYO car days. You just get to drive the new model around the track. No helmets required either which I find a bit strange considering we were allowed to go as fast as the instructors were comfortable with.

No it won't be as bad as you think it may be domino. I have to give Nissan Australia full credit here. Based on last year's program I think they did a great job at balancing the talk with the driving. Admittedly last year involved Mizuno and Toshio but this year it appears that the talking will only be for just over an hour and that will also include a demonstration of the new Launch Control IV if that's what "R Mode Demonstration" means. This will be followed by two and a half hours of driving, (morning session at least). The first hour will be tedious familiarisation exercises revolving pretty much around the art of knocking over witches hats, (based on what I witnessed last year), followed by 90 mins of fast laps with instructors sitting next to you... I enjoyed it enough to fly over again this year so you local guys will definitely be getting full value out of it.

But then again I've seen people not bother to show up to corporate facilities when they have a free ticket for events such as the Clipsal 500 and my brother didn't seem to be terribly interested when I suggested to him that because hes considering trading his 997TT 911 over to the new GT-R to put his name down for this event. His reponse was a jaded.... "meh"... so perhaps I'm just too easily excitable.....

awesome feedback mate, much appreciated

I'll admit im a bit meh too, only because I've been too so many of these type of events with other manufacturers before

Re the launch, I'd be keen to see how it compares to my R launch mode

yep definitely does, dealer service tech showed me how to set it up

everything in r mode, foot on brake, brings up the revs to about 3200

no wheel spin (on oem tyres), no axle tramp like the 2009s

worked best with the oem bridgestones, just a little bit of slip

too much wheelspin through 1st with the yoki 21s though

but then id rather have all that energy dissipate away through wheelspin then have positive grip and all the energy go through the diff/box

      R35 GT-R production ends after 18 years

      By Rezz · Posted

      Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.

      Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
