Long time without driving...

Only real event for the last part of 2012 was SAU nationals. Was a great track and it was a great event with lots of good SAU people!

Got some in-car but haven't had time to edit the footage. Managed to get down to a 1:03.88 which is very respectable for first time there. That made me 6th outright, fastest skyline and 2nd owner/driver. Lots of hired/pro drivers in other cars.

Pffft 1:03s respectable.... It's legendary!!!

Quickest skyline I know of on semi's :P

Really? That's even better then! Just need to beat those pesky silvias ey Boxhead haha.

Have you had yours on the track since SAU nats Steve?

Very nice. What's on the cards for 2013?

Not much unfortunately. Renovating my house and subdividing my block will be a focus for the next couple of months. Gunna do more water skiing and 4x4'ing as its more social and I can involve my girlfriend a lot more. Our drift Sil80 will be ready for march Deca and that should satisfy my racing urges for a bit.

Sadly the racing will have to slow down because over the last 4 years of doing WTAC and similar it's taken me months to recover financially after each event and it's not really sustainable. Having said that I'll still be doing maybe a PIARC day, SAU round(s) and SAU nationals if they're on. WTAC is still a maybe but won't be as full on as the last 2 years if I do make it at all.

As above.

Given that the car and driver combo is a proven performer, I'd be inclined to paint it one colour and try for some sponsorship, could ease the financial burden a bit.

I fully understand the social aspect though, that's often been something I've thought about too. What other hobby could I have that I can do more regularly and involves more people.

Well lets hope you're able to get some support and make wtac again this year - it's great to see a car built on a 'reasonable' budget running so quickly.

Thanks mate.

Paint is on the cards.. Well it has been for 2 years lol.

Boats are cool! V8, friends, good weather! Plus you're close to the Murray.

Just read the whole thread Russman! Good work :thumbsup:

I'm running one of the Racepace radiators now and the temps are perfect.... Interested to know your thoughts on the 1.06 TS rear housing and also your gate problem too? :)

Yeah RP Radiator is awesome. I've been recommending them since, lots of happy customers. Very cost effective too.

The 1.06 is fantastic. Haven't seen anyone else with the setup yet. Not laggy on the track and pulls hard to redline. Gate problem was actually mostly attributed to manifold. Once we enlarged the gate pipe on the manifold + 50mm gate the problem was fixed.

Was good to meet you guys at Nats last year.

Yeah it was good to meet you breifly too! Got to check out the car in person though, looks so tough on track!

I've been pretty happy with the radiator, they look identical to the ASI cheapies BUT as soon as i fit mine i noticed all the temps dropped which was good!

There isnt many TS setups to compare, Owenliberts 34 was super impressive with the response from the 0.82 housing but the power was held back possibly by the rear housing? When are you hitting full boost (Or when were you at the 350kw)?

Good to know the gate problem was nothing major.... Is yours 2 pipes merging into one of each side of the collector?

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
