crap it more paperwork for me!

nah should be a great day, I'm going out on a limb and saying the weather should be good!

(as why would it rain on me)

So I'm in group 2 who else in mine?

crap it more paperwork for me!

I'm out, so only 17, you can relax a bit Martin.

I was crook last week and still not the best so pulled out.

Funny It's usually the car that does that!!

I wouldn't worry too much about what BOM says, they get their readings from the weather station located at Rhyll at the edge of the island on the other side...

I have my eye on Myweather2 and in the past it has been accurate 9/10 times. I don't know how they do it, considering they are not even based in the country..

Currently they are predicting 0.2mm from 1pm and 1.1mm from 4pm. (Crap all really)

Here's a breakdown of their predicted track condtions thus far;

Fingers crossed it get's even better.

Well looks like I wont be making it down. Car has been at chasers all week with what we think might be electrical problem. The car will just randomly stall and loose all power. The worst thing is we have driven it on the dyno and two times on the street with laptop plugged in to record data and diagnose exactly what it is and its not happening anymore :unsure: . When it does happen its a violent jolt to the car like you have just jabbed the brake really hard and either stall or regain power. So im going to be sensible and not come down. Any ideas to what it might be share your thoughts

Do you think Neil will refund me or can I sell my spot to someone?

Ant had a similar problem a while ago, the loom to his alarm I think it was was a tiny bit loose, he would go around a corner bam all power cut, then straighten upa nd all good again.

So mght ahve to do what he did, and get under the dash/bonnet and check every plug!

Yeah my problem was a loose connection between the elec supply and rest of the car due to the alram being spliced in. This would only happen on high G corners though - no brakes and no power is just what you want when flying around corners!

I assume that you have tried things like incorrectly setup atmo BOV's etc??

gents, how fuel should i bring for my stagea (std ecu & exhaust)??

i could chew 60L+ in the GTR, so 20L Jerry Can and about 1/2 full to begin with should be about right ??

Yes thank you I think you guys have hit the nail on the head! From about 3 weeks ago the car wouldnt always start first time. I would have to unlock/lock the car 3 or 4 times until the immobiliser would let it work. It started playing up stalling on me nearly two weeks ago and have only driven it for testing to try diagnose the problem. Makes sense because if it was mechanical it would play up all the time and not 'when it wants'

I havnt installed any bov or anything like that. All standard bov and turbos. Boost controller has been in the car for ages from the previous owner. It has to be something with the immobiliser

And yeah no brakes and no power around a corner No Thanks! Thats why im going to sit out until this is fixed 100%

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
