So, in the event of rain, shall we postpone or just suck it up?

Suck it up, I need to practice my rain driving :P

After the hillclimb yesterday my tyres are exactly how they were before I entered, even though they were spinning 90% of the time... that's one hell of a way to save money on tyres :P

right back at you.

Yeah heaps :ph34r:, though I can still take victory as its my car :P.

Oooh , r34 , specs?

Its a pretty much standard R34 (stock intake/exhaust/internals), slightly lowered (Tien S-tek springs), nistune ECU @ 175kW, RDA gold slotted/dimpled rotors and EBC greens.

diff is fixed, thermostat is replaced, tow hooks on, battery reloc done, killswitch nearly in, oil flush tomorrow, car is pretty much set! yay! bring on 61's! gonna skip past the 62 lap time mark :-P i got a certain red starion to beat!

yep nice , out of curiosity , what sort of power was it making before the nistune? i only ask because mine feels rather soft (it probably isn't , but the last turbo car i had had 200rwk+ ) , that wouldn't be the silver one i see getting round claremont-ish now and then? .

I might even bring my black snotter out sunday , see if it's faster than the hq pinch.gif , i'll see if i can find smaler diameter wheels for it :blush:

Sunday 14 August

Min 4

Max 13

Morning fog.

Cloudy. Patches of morning frost in the north. Areas of morning fog. Light winds.

Sounds like the perfect day, hopefully no rain but some nice low intake temps for your turbo charging pleasure :D

Yeah, I'm out Austin's Ferry way so that'd be me. It was about 140kW standard, ~ 150kW on 10psi pre-tune.

yep cool , i live out that way too :) , i thought they'd go a lil better than a stock 33 , mine seems about the same as one :unsure: not that i've revved it past 5k :happy:

what a day hey!

Huge turn out, met lots of new people.

Did anyone manage to beat their old PB?

I know Tim got a 68.

Dan got a 72 in the 33 and a 69 in the 34

Leesa got a 76 in the R34

Old mate in the starion pulled out an awesome 61.3!

Funz you were hovering around the 63 mark yeah?

Thanks to everyone that gave me a hand today with my very sad skyline (especially toffy for lending me his car\trailer).

.... I guess I have heaps of bits to sell now if anyone needs anything :P

Might be curious for brake setup and 5 stud conversion for my S13 maybe, or even the motor. Just waiting for the sale of the 4 door.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
