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?

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
