Definitely mate, in my mind anyone who knows they can improve and are willing to learn are going to come out as a much better driver than anyone claiming to be a driving god. Everyone at the track days was there to learn (or perfect, in some cases), and I have to say I learnt a lot more about the limits of my car at those speeds in a single day than I did in years of street driving.

I still remember driving my skyline for the first time (after coming directly from a pulsar) and coming home with wobbly knees, but I got used to the amount of power and handling (for my stocky at least) in not long at all :)

Yea need somewhere to really let loose and learn to drive the R32. I have only had a starlet and hilux so stepping up to a turbo 6 cylinder from the NA 4 cylinders is abit of a challenge for me atm still.

I hope you get your car running sweet mate.

If you need any spares, just holler, some of us have a pretty large stash :P

32's are good fun, i pretty much learnt my car from stock and every single modification ive done has meant changing driving style slightly to get best out of it, ive seen people go from stock straight to everything replaced and they expected it to handle the same and pretty much they find they cant drive it properly, i did all my mods in stages so knew exactly how each tweak affected the car handling/power wise and could compensate driving style wise with each adjustment. it also lets you know what mods work and what mods dont properly. good ol trial and error.

My original plan to track it the way it was when I got it went out the window when it became obvious that every thing about my R33 was broken closedeyes.gif

I get very hard... in my pants. That's why I like to sit down right after.

Tj just use the standard fan

This ^^^ Stanard fan and rad is fine just fine.

I think there may be a slight difference between our cars here :P How many killerwasps is Twoogle making atw now?

The right level of acceleration will, for a split second, turn a fat man into a pancake, the human body ain't built for that kinda shit... You surely have to clean pieces of your wildly grinning face off the rear window every time you touch the loud pedal.

i dunno, around 7-720awkw CRD say

awwwwwwwwww yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhh.

Oil cooler is in and I'm ready to hit the track, so friggin keen!

Have to keep my skyline on the straight and narrow though, no drifting :P

Random question, has anyone booked this in? I've got a couple of mates keen, but want to be sure I'm giving them the right date :)

I'm on it mate , you can't really 'book it in' more so check to see there's nothing else happening on the day , i spoke to des today whilst i was over there and i'll be back there tomorrow to get confirmation from him that we can go out . Without paying the 3k odd hire of the track we have to share with anyone who wants to go out on the day :)

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
