Yeh my day was shit. Traffic, then Audi off and red flag...then this on the warm up lap in the second session....

He is always quick, he muscled his way through the traffic as well. With that much power and grip what would you expect? 21 is hauling though.

Hey Matt, nice time!My car wouldn't turn right around turn 5, just went straight on. Crapped my pants and got off the power and it started to turn just as the car got into the grass. But it was all over by then. Not the way I wanted things to go.

You can really hear the stones in slow motion.

I came around the corner just as you went around, the guy in the evo6 slammed on the brakes and stopped in the middle of the track.

you can see me come up beside him trying to stop. Looked pretty full on when you went around, glad too see there wasnt

too much damage by the looks of it.

Thanks John. my driving was average.. still getting used to the silvia, before I used to just throw the R34 around and it so felt stable but the silvia is lighter and the back feels like it wants to kick out every chance it gets, it's an uneasy feeling.. so i was really backing off down the top of the back straight. It sucks they didn't post my times from the 1st session after practice, i was sure i went a bit faster! ah well next time :)

No Martin, car is ok. turbo oil line had a leak and luckily i pulled over quickly before the whole engine bay was in flames. fire extinguisher ftw!

Bad luck being behind the Audi. I'm guessing skating on kitty litter is like driving on ice. James in the EVO said the whole thing didn't make any sense.

Did the Audi go through scrutineering after it's off into the kitty litter that might have made a difference.

Hope the damage isn't too bad.

Duncan did you get warned for noise with the gate open??

There's some serious cars entered in WTAC this year, open class looks like an awesome field! Can't wait :)

Good to see you boys had some fun, while it lasted.

Hope to see guys sort the cars out for Sandown, July 10.

So Richo, I'm assuming some replacement lower control arms and wheels are all that's needed to get back out there?

Rotten luck mate.....

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.

      Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno.

      R34 GTT Wiring Harness Similarities

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser.

      Asking where to source parts

      By winc · Posted

      Took it apart to get to the bearing found out i was wrong the bearing was pressed on to the diff side and the part i removed only had the bearing side, checked the bearing all looked fine took the shaft end to a shop and they recon it was movement from back and forth that made the marks and not rumbling about, so i just changed the seal and put it all back again.

      Oh dear. That's um. There's like. Um. a lot of bare wires there. Take the whole thing out. Something is very very shorted somewhere. IT IS NOT CAUSED BY THAT "RELAY" (assuming it is a relay).
