Yup - airbox with pooer duct.

Mine wasn't really different when it had the Pod and the AFM after the turbo anyway (besides on boost). The Pod had epic cold air from the front wheel arch.

The Kinetix plenum is massive thermal improvement on the alloy unit. can pop the bonnet and still put your hand on it after a long drive, where you'd end up with 2nd degree burns from the stockie.

Well, taking the barge out to the "CAMS Come and Try day" on Saturday, so might have some track / texi footage up soon.

Its on the Eastern Ck South circuit, and the skid pan. Its not a full on track day, but more of a taster of a couple of motorsport disciplines under the guidance of more experienced people.

I have given her some fresh pads, fixed the sump, and going to be bleeding the brakes on Friday. Didn't get a chance to get a tune on it, but stock map is supersafe, so won't have any issues on the track, except for fuel consumption :P

Will also be interesting to see what temps I see after all the cooling system overkill for a NA car.

CAMS come and try day :

Firstly - Thanks to JETWRECK, WAGON_BOY, and ANDY65B (or whatever it is) for coming out with Cameras and stuff! Great to see you guys as always.

Had a great day - fun/non serious atmosphere, loads of variety of cars. Very nice BB BNR34 GTR in the last session, and a few other Lines out there.

Besides the "speed limit" I did manage to get up to a sneaky 140km/h down the back bit. Instructor was great - very informative and calm. Instilled a good level of confidence and level headedness. Motor held up fine - bloody over engineered the cooling system so the thermos didn't even switch on. Brake pads were the first thing to start to go, but only had a long pedal a couple of times over the sessions. Pity the traffic was so heavy. Would have liked to have at least one good timed session, but was stuck behind quite a bit of traffic.

Motorkhana times- I did 4 runs.

RWD: first lap - 33.82 then 31.82

Put the fuse back in so AWD

30.38 and best time of 29.67 before I pulled aside.

Got a round a of applause from the timing crew, so I don't think many were below 30 secs. Hope they put the times up, but don't think they were officially recorded. Only other sub 30 sec time I heard was an Audi quattro wagon. Wagon FTW!

All in all a great day!

Now I know there is Pics and Vids of the Texi / Track- so please share Craig/Theo/Andy :)

Don't know about "at home" but it sure did surprise a few people, and did not disgrace itself.

Very fortunate to have such awesome people in the community. Thanks for the vids/pics guys.

I felt them overheat a couple of times. They aren't race spec, more high performance road. Fluid was fine, I only got long pedal once, and after a couple of corners it was fine. Overall they were pretty good, only overheated after I put some big stops into them on purpose to try it out. You'd want to go higher than 550 degrees for track days. Big old barges are hard on brakes.

    • Does the old one line up OK if you try to put it back in? In the 32 (different geometry) it is hard to reinsert the ball joint with the sway bar and spring attached. But ultimately.....this wouldn't be the first aftermarket part that is not right....
    • Yep and yep ! Every time I now take out the R33 I get a lot of thumbs up as well, and my car was also a daily until last year. Still get people coming up and asking about it. A while ago the most memorable being a V8 commodore driver who approached me in the bunnings carpark and asked me why the were so fast and what kind of V8 it had in it. Couldn't resist and told him they were only a straight six the same capacity as the 161 red motor. The look on his face was legendry. However the shine has gone off cause as well as the appreciation there is now a lot of harassment from other drivers in there VW/Nline/Ae86 with body kits or whatever the hell they are, while all I want to do is cruise.( well sort of drive with spirt ) I always try and get the hell away from them by driving slow, putting on my lawn bowling hat and leaning over the steering wheel to look as old fart as possible.
    • There really isn't enough to help remotely....the nav screen likely takes it's visual feed from another unit that is not plugged in properly now (that is how the cima worked at least). Sounds like at least the reverse cam works. It is a possibility the screen is dead of course, minor knock while it was apart. I had to replace the Cima screen because it would not display anything in the morning when below 0.  
    • Yeah, I get that. I try to be as cost-efficient as possible with cars, and typically prefer to buy them at the bottom of their depreciation curve. I was looking at those Bilsteins too as they're roughly in the same price bracket as the BC's - lack of adjustability and being soft put me off, not that I want anything too hard. That's my issue with the Skyline, it's too expensive and it's reflected in my driving. I don't mind going full pelt as long as there's a gravel trap to catch me. Really, proper safety equipment is needed for total confidence. Well this just turned up for the BMW. I'll try and get the front together tomorrow and take some pics of the absolutely horrid rear end; perhaps I'll have a crack at the rear on Wednesday. I need to make the car drivable before the weekend as I'll be driving it over to London.
