well that was an eventful day. never before have i physically felt ill seeing such a low speed crash. i know the car will be back in action in no time. Feel terrible for all involved. mostly as the new brembos still havent been used properly.

well they say a picture tells a thousand words. much love for heslo, car and driver. also kristian, genuinely feel for you, not something anyone expected

Damn, that sucks the big one Luke. Glad Kristian is okay, and as many people have said, it could have been alot worse for both of you. I have a plastic recirculation pipe (that runs behind the cooler) here you can have for nix if you need it. Unfortunately, alot of the parts you will need, I sold a short time ago :( But like I said, I'm pretty sure a mate has a 33R half cut, which you might be able to get a few things off locally if you need to. I'm more than happy to give you a hand re-assembling things if you do the work yourself too. (been there, done that - AKA drift prac september last year...) Goodluck!

Martin: its unfair to generalise drifters for wrecking the track... the burnout guys are just as bad or worse... some of the time attack guys have much to blame also.... we pay money to use the track just like anyone else. so how about leaving the drifter bashing out of this thread thanks. last time i checked it had nothing to do with drift ;)

lol in fairness I was given fair warning that they'd be coming...I knew I should've taken that sticker back! haha

Josh I was well into third gear, so I'm not sure it qualified as a low speed crash, although it felt like I was watching that wall come towards me for about 5 minutes before I actually connected with it!

Nige cheers for the offer, yeah we will probably chase your mate up for some of the factory parts, although Luke loves his brand names, bloody big spender haha

Guys keep the other drifter/racer stuff out of here please, in spite of what I said before about the oil stuff (and Simon P came mighty close to joining me in the same spot on the following lap apparently), I'm happy to put this one down to the klutz behind the wheel. Live and learn!

Don't worry. It looked like 5 mins from the hill. Felt like you were sliding towards the wall for ages. But yes, Luke tends to be a bit of a brand whore, should have delayed the v35, could have packed front end parts in it :-)

Just searched through 100 auction pages but not much to find :(

Lights your looking at 17-1800del

Brand new Shift sports bonnet Around 1300 + ship

Sent Luke to a HKS intercooler (100mm) for 40,000yen

Front indicators 5,000yen

Damn and I was about to put up an oil related meme thing one :P

^^ Sakai's my favourite too Whiplash!

The silly thing is Simon, I reckon if the grass was dry I would've pulled up before the wall and driven away again. If there was anything I could've done to prevent it from hitting the wall then I would be seriously kicking myself, but short of not getting out on the track in the first place, there was no way I could've avoided it once I'd lost grip.

Luke (ENR34) I spotted that HKS one too, Heslo and I are already exchanging emails, in a bizarre way it's kinda fun going shopping lol

Vu :rofl: Damn drift racers...

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
