Hi Evil

Hope all is good - we will be there in the AU running sports sedans

Not much info yet, but apparently our pit area is somewhere on the skid pan

Your welcome - you and your Dad come and have a chat - if your dad likes fords he can have a sit in Courtneys old car! (Stone Bros Au3)

Cheers

Stuart & Karen

lol...

should be a very good line up of cars this year......2 or 3 R32's, 1 HR31 and the DR30.....plus all the other stuff to keep us on our toe's!

Hi Chris

Got the paperwork today - we will be on figure 8 drift track for parking (Sports Sedans)

Heres the new paint job - will have to sort suspension down there - too wet last meeting.

All rebuilt but no idea with the sachs, will give me something to do.

Big field but will be aiming for a mid 1.36

Hoping for PB for self and car!

If anyone else is competing, we will have 8kva generator, welder, power tools, and everything except for what I'll need, if we can be of any help come visit

Hey Stuart - that would be awesome and make Dad's day - we'll be sure to come up!

Cheers!

Chris

lol, we all know that feeling. :( generous offer too. :)

Hi Evil

Sorry, we were only just talking that we did not see you and didnt get a lot of time.

Was having issues tunning rebuilt shocks and bloody sway bars would work in pits and freeze on track - so I appologise to you and Duncan H - got to say g'day to Neil for point 2 of a second.

PS Duncan H - wasn't being rude, but the tall chap I was talking to was giving me lots of required information - he actually built the car and was of great help

Cheers

Catch up soon

awesome day today - got sunburnt !! Stu - I did walk past but you seemed very busy so didnt want to disturb!

Happy times with Dad(who is 73) smashing the Historic Group A Lap record in qualifying....then in race on Saturday........only to then put it into a wall 6-7 corners later.

Have to admit that VL GIO car/driver is a wicked combo!

oh no? which car in the wall?

and what was the historic GRP A record? well done. :)

GIO GTR....turn 7.....wrong gear so he looped it and hit on the RHS....smashed the rear hub and suspension + front suspension and 3 wheels. I nearly went off in sympathy lol.

got the car going for Sunday.... but a rear of the grid start with 3 race meeting old tyres didn't help.

Old lap record by Terry Ashwood was 1.41:8....dad did a 1.40:8......terry then went onto smash that on Sunday with a 1.40:5....I recon Dad's car is capable of 1.38's with us rookies!

BMW went well with David Towe....finished 2ND!

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
