Congrate on the PB Ant - I think its an awesome time on worn tyres or shall we call them slicks?

Thanks mate....if thats the grip I can expect from slicks then I'm going to stick to semi's ;) I only wish the in car cam worked so you could see exactly how hard it was to drive....in comparison your thing just seemed to grip and go under power while I was sawing at the wheel trying to keep up :)

Snowy's R35 sounding awesome on Saturday. You can hear it coming from Siberia!

Lol, no probs mate, makes it easy when they are so well behaved, didn't step out of line at all......

Well done to all, especially with PB's, damn the times are tumbling and it's amazing that there were nearly 20 skylines on the day!!

Look forward to getting back there asap....

Just doing the results here..

does any-one know Bill Theodossiadis in a white S14?

Trying to work out which class he is in.

I noticed his name in the Natsoft results actually... I used to work with him years ago. Small world.

It's a tricky process. But there is a 51 there, I need a little more patience. The poor front tyres have done 12-14 track days now.

Sorry Andrew who I took around for a passenger lap as well, we only got a warm up lap then red flag after Danny came off. We only got turn1,2 and 3 at 75-80%.

Clive I'll take you around at Sandown.

I'm sure there is a low to sub 50 in the Evo, just have to find that balance through the high speed corners. Oct 1-2 PIARC whistling.gif

Mate that's an unbelievable time considering the mods and tyres, you really do have the skill and knowledge to push it to it's limits.

The Evo will definetly go 1-2 seconds quicker, just unfortunate I ran out of fuel and couldn't do the last 2 sessions, I didn't drive out of my comfort zone, whereas PI REQUIRES you to scare yourself, I was not going quick enough through turn 1, hayshed and turn 12, big gains from these corners.

I'm definetly in for PI on October 3, not doing anything else until then....

Sandown on the 24th jack

Unfortunately have prior commitments so will have to sit this one out. So might do Sandown on the 18th with AROCA, either way definetlty doing PIARC on October 2nd....

I might even dust mine off for that day as well. It's been a while :whistling:

Yes!!! It's been a while mate, hope all is well. Be good to see the BBGTR machine out there again, although my car is a lot slower these days... :whistling:

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
