You should definitely do DECA Greg. The 2.5 hour drive up there and back combined with a full day of high revving action is sure to end well

believe it or not, I actually made it there and back and did a beginner drift day complete with absolute rev smashing and didn't wreck the car until a week after!

Maybe you need to show your car hard love to get it liking you

I always found Skylines drove much better when you thrashed them rather than babied

They feel smoother and more licence losing

Trying to strike that balance between running down a fuel tank quickly so I can replace fuel pump and babying the car around so it doesn't kill the fuel pump, is a bitch

man forgive me for being so forward or if I've missed something but why is your car such a heap of shit? And surely it's not your everyday car if it's so unreliable?

i dont get some people (not you, well sort of.) who cant be bothered spending money on a licence.

"durhh i wanna do a deca or haunted hills, maybe do a track day sometime. how much of a cams licence?"

"$110"

"aww shit... gets pricey"

you just spent like a few grand on car bits ffs.

Haha yeah 'cbf' probably wasn't the right word it's more the spending money and renewing for one event, $110, $300 tyres, $120 deca etc etc

I'll have a think about it might come up anyway even if just watching / help time

Go at your own pace, don't worry about any other kunt, don't worry about who's behind you (easier said than done when you're one of the slower people in the group) but also don't be the flog who is painfully slow through the corners on his 1000cc then nails it down the straight and doesn't let you pass, only to hold you up with his unpredictable line into the next corner...

When you heading down?

Good tips! yeah I'll scope out the group think i'd do the slow-med to be safe not the med-fast group.

Heading down in September unsure of date yet (getting a voucher thing)

last time mine died was with a completely full tank.

that was a bitch to replace. previous times you knew it was coming, this one just stopped completely.

oh yeah price defs starts to add up. i see the licence as something you pay every year enabling you to attend an event whenever you can. though i understand people who wouldnt get enough use to justify it

I confess not knowing enough about electrical, but can someone explain to me why a submersible pump with a positive and negative lead running to it is never in danger of shorting or sparking and blowing up the whole car?

Obviously disconnect battery before working on it and turn on car / pump brake to discharge circuitry, but I still had a huge fear of something like that happening when I put this pump in first time around and started the car.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
