i actually like all of the development of the different cars, pushs all the boundrys around what can be done and not as restrictive. I guess open and club class are for the people that want to push the boundrys within a more defined set of rules.

One thing this year and i hope Hi Octane is reading is to please please put split times up on the display board up, sooooo many times i was hearing.....AND HE IS ON A FLYING LAP!!!! only to see them driving past the start finish line in third with a cup of tea.

and as most people know, our R35 won't be there this year. no catastrophes or other major issues with the build other than we have been ambitious with the work planned time wise relative to keeping things on budget. we hope to be on track in several months and spend the year testing at the track and having some fun.

That's a great idea. Have you asked them to do it? Put in on their FB page. Probably gets the most attention haha.

we are going to bring a tv this year so we can plug into the laptimes and maybe a speaker so we can hear the anno

was difficult last.year especially with the rotor guys next door replacing and engine after each session....uncements

Here is a little vid of some testing at Phillip Island on the weekend

Hope you enjoy.

Sick love this, do you have a new paint job?

pulse racing evo looks interesting and with a bit of testing, any insight into times @ EC?

In 2010 with far less aero won open class with a 1.46 lap time at EC

Now has heaps more aero, tyre and power looks good reliability wise with new dry sump and motec ECU

Prob Berry will prob be fastest with the 34 in pro class. Was much faster last year compared to before. Haven't heard much since though... Wooster?? Updates??

In open I would say Newton in Big Red for Open class if he pulls it all together. Looks very promising.

Way too many Emo's at WTAC IMO.

should be real quick then, turning into a bit of an EVO fest @ WTA. Who is in the running for fastest Skyline?

Team USA with the 32 will be interesting. Will the Berry machine go faster than Suzuki san though?

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
