After following this thread for a while now it was amazing to finally see this in the flesh being competitive.

Here's one of the shots I got while it was on track!

Good work guys, keep at it. ;)

diagnosis is in on the gear box problem, broken gear selector - a standard Nissan part.

the boys from Just Jap did suspect this when we discussed the issue with them over the phone on the weekend.

And here is what that Nissan selector fork looked like!

How about Winton for the SAU Nationals! :) (With a side trip to PI along the way)

Hi, Mark, Andrew and all

I have been follow this thread and Drew's one since day one. my daily fix!! Enjoy the WTAC very much. Unfortunately, our drift car got written off in practice.It would be great if you can come down to Melbourne for the SAU Winton and PI. With more time to sort out the gear box and everything associated with highly modified cars,it will be really flying. 1:35 in PI?

At least it didn't take anything else out when it failed...

Silver linings and all that...pinch.gif

As other have said; Congratulations are in order for the amazing performance of a driver learning what must've been basically a completely different car; and also the performance of a freshly built car. So many variable to contend with, and yet it still shone.:worship:

Well done to all involved; you have much to be proud of.

nice pic guys.

good to see the two GTR's cross the line on the last lap of the event! even if Drew and I didnt trouble the scorboard with our antics

when are you guys planning to be back out on track again?

Just looking at the pic a little more. You can see how the difference in aero works.

at about 220kmph my front sits lower and marks rear sits lower... or it could just be my eyes... Or maybe I just took my

foot off the gas which is possible.

Our aero guys would probbaly like this picture

yes plenty of pics which show our front downforce imbalance from the weekend. we knew this but struggled to correct at short notice despite pulling out rear downforce and adjusting rake angles etc

car looked and sounded AMAZING. crongtats to the team.

have some pretty decent vids. will upload them soon.

was standing behind the car and staring at it up close for a while and on of the mecury motor sports guys was like "you from sau?" and i was like ye...his like "you can touch it"

hahahahahaha

once again awesome car. all the best for next year :D. will deff be up again

Your incar video shows (sounds) the splitter to be contacting the road at about that point of the track - it must be speed/downforce related. Did either of you guys run shock/ride height sensors to the dash logger etc?

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
