yeah everyone knows the zed is as heavy as a house and underpowered like my alloy dingy with small outboard, but chop all the metal away and leave just rolling shell with that motor and away you go.

So the excuses are coming back now. Last year everyone thought we had big stuff done but was not really and still wasn't stripped out then.

I showed Christian my competition yesterday in Gary's R32 GTR, which is also stripped out and has more mods than my car. Has a Stack dash in it and bigger mods such as bigger turbo's, cams, sequential gear box, proper full cage etc. So not exactly apples for apples. My car has better aerodynamics with after market wings and things and an alloy tank but that is it. I have a second blade with gerni strip being made as well as carbon fibre front winglets for more down force.

Duncan, standard a 4 seater Zed which mine is weighs more than that, factory, according to my USA sales brochures I have say manual 3474 pounds, auto is more. I think this works out to be 1579kg? They have more sound deadening than the Skylines, heavier drive train by miles and more electronics, heavy electric seats, glass roof etc. They are low fat things, with potential though. R32 GTR are the lightest as you prob know. Duncan they say when you take weight out of the car in proportion the straights get shorter, the brakes grow in size and the corners are faster.

Re GTR bits, yes they keep coming up as options and bless Nissan as they make it easy being able to fit parts from one car to the other, such as the cam buckets I am using. Very few parts are made for zeds yet many parts Nismo and others make parts that we are finding which are not listed but actually fit straight on. We are finding lots of parts fro GTS-T same.

Yes Merli it is still a Zed. Imagine if I called it a GTR, that would be sacrilege and I would be banned from SAU.

hey buster, don't give it away, we were all *really* hoping to see wreckhead at this day :P

you should get down there too and see what real motorsport is :D wreckhead should be safe at Wakefield as there's no skidpan to frighten him :D

I met him at the drags a while back, he's not a bad guy in person and he was racing hahaha

Though he seems to be very much under the impression da GTR can never lose hahahaha I was hoping to show him what a old gtst can do once i'm back, why should you guys have all the fun :D

Oh and mate i'm real happy with my chosen motorsport, I'd probably get sea sick just watching you guys go around all those corners, its got me stuffed what they're even doing on a race track hahaha :P

cough and the BU5TER has no engine at the moment cough

I hope you guys are bringing heaps of still and movie cams.

Wanna see some sikkk sidewayz action... there are rumours going around that fat dog Skylines can't drift.

Surely that can't be right :bs!:

T.

where's that Majanal poof???

he's right toshi... skylines can't drift :) (see my sig for reference)

I doubt I can make this day unfortunatly, but I will do everything in my power to be there on Monday ("please Darling... I promis I won't break anything this time :fluttereyes: :Puppydog:") for at least a look see (might throw a set of drifters in the back seat just for laughs!)

Don't necessarily need a GTR to beat the Zed, just a good balanced car and a good steerer, the question is, is there any better than John on the day.

Just about anybody is capable, ON THEIR DAY.

Negative.

I know most people on here, even on their best day, won't beat a trained and experienced driver (e.g. John)....... even on their best days.

It's all about racing experience, and previous driver training on a race circuit.

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
