Hey Guys,

Just letting you know there is a hill climb on August 7th at baskerville.

http://www.cmitas.org/documents/CMIBaskervilleHillclimb2011Flyer.pdf

Entry is $150, this includes an epic BBQ lunch. None of this woolies snags on a shitty grill, I'm talking steaks and chicken and gourmet sausages.

Because it's just a hill climb you start at the start finish like and finish at the top of the hill just after the corner. This makes it really easy on your car because you're only gunning it for like 40 seconds then you have to wait a minuite or two before you can get back on it. So you don't have to worry about hurting your pride and joy thumbsup.gif

I know it's a lot more expensive than just the SAU "track days" but it's a competition with trophies give out at the end of the day for fastest cars in their class, best presented and driver of the day.

I hope you guys can all make it! I had such a ball at the last CMI event, they're all such a quality bunch of blokes.

Here are the supp regs and how to enter http://www.cmitas.org/documents/CMIBaskervilleHillclimb2011SuppRegs.pdf

You need to pre-enter before august 6th. No entries on the day.

If you have any questions or if you think I've missed something just post up here, because I'm sure you're not the only one who has a questions.

Ugh, so up for this... I'm going to have to think about this for sure, especially after pulling out of the regularity, I ended up spending the day trudging around in mud and lugging massive frozen pavers about instead. Good choice.

What's the competition generally like? I don't mind having my arse handed to me on a platter with french fried potatoes, but being slightly competitive is always a bit of fun :)

Will read over the regs and actually see what's going on in a sec :P

You'll have old mate Veeto to compete with, also Skit_31. Hopefully also young Alex who we met at regularity, stock R33 except for FMIC and Zorst, getting 66s. thumbsup.gif Top bloke to boot. He also had 16" wheels. Food for thought.

Haha, damn him and his 3 seconds :( my car came with these oversized, heavy, ridiculous 18 inch wheels and I've been thinking of a good reason to buy some others ever since, just can't justify the money outlay when they... Well, they still work.

Those two mods are now high on my to buy list, but unfortunately below food and paying the mortgage. Very interested to see what kind of difference you can feel, the power difference is meant to be really noticeable and a nice change. Is he on here or is yet to become epic forum warriors like the rest of us? May have to get on to him about it :)

Adam Funz on here or Funz has some 17" enkei wheels for sale. IDEAL for track work for the weekend warrior.

Okay, seriously looking at this now (bit late, but meh...)

What's the go with the CAMS Level 2S license? Can you grab one on the day, or is this something I should have worked out a couple of weeks ago and sent off?

I think I have everything else ready to go except for a few pieces of plastic so keen to try this out, interested to see how the poor girl goes with two weekends in a row, but completely keen for some more track time :D

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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

      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.
