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%

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
