Just got home(stopped in to see the parents).

Was an awesome day.

Thank you to the organisers and volunteers who made this day possible.

Unfortunately, I won nothing.

First lap was ok, 2nd lap, blew off 1 of the bottom intercooler pipes, 3rd and 4th, blew of the top one.

On saying that though, with blowing the pipe off on the 4th round, approx 1/3 around the track, I had a comparative lap time to my first.

So i must have been getting better.

I'm just glad they were simple problems.

So, next on the mod list, some silicon joiners and the bottom 2 hard pipes.

Oh, and coil packs.

See you all at the next one.

You had to post that up didn't you!

Thanks all for a great day, it was good to finally get out and get a feel for the new setup. Still have to get used to it though me thinks.

And big thanks to Jenna for the friendly rivalry ;) you'll get me next time hahahaa

I need to grow a pair for the jump, I was backing off waaaaay to early.

Will definately go again to sutton, awesome place, soooooo much fun.

NOw if only Pete can do a lap without taking out 20 cones :)

Haha nice work man

Watching it from behind at the corner looked insane.

First ever SAU event and it was good to chill out in the Canberra sun and watch all of you guys thrash it around.

Can't wait to get my coilovers sorted and clutch so I can get out there as well.

Those little micras can go hard!

Also the chaser sounded and looked amazing

hey guys,

loving the pics and vids, keep em coming. I will be back in sydney after a little more poking around in Canberra tomorrow night and will upload all mine then. Nice to finally meet a few more forum peeps today and have a quick blast around the track.

Confirmed my love for track days as im an impatient bugger but it helps when everyones so easy going and chatty when you need to pass the time in between runs.

Was a little disappointed with my lap times but im happy to blame it on cold tyres, a big laggy turbo and basically anything other than poor driving!

Either way i had a great time and hope someone posts some shots up of me getting mega sideways on the way up the hill, i also wanted to be braver going over the jump but lost my bottle when i saw James car come in after some 'mad air' (i overheard this on the radio) with a few pieces missing and a few more cracks on the windscreen..

seeing the above video justifies my conservative approach. not sure where my time can be made up but launching is definitely a big issue as pointed out by Dave etc.

Thank god that wakefield etc doesnt care how fast you can get it off the line..

anyway, more pics. more stories and definitely more events like this please!

Standing there watching skids and slides!!!

LukeGTR. Have you checked your engine mounts lately? That might have something to do with your hose popping bizzo!

I conceed the title of greatest GTR/Driver combo to Duncan this round :)

Just.... wow. What a f**king unreal track. I can't believe this unloved corner of NSW has been hiding such a gem for so long. Thanks to the club members who organised the day but most of all thanks to the volunteers who sat around the circuit and helped to make it run as smoothly as possible - you guys are legends. Much better than the jerks at the start line who changed my team name on Natsoft.

7th in the overglorified cressida on proper street tyres - invest in semis i think next time, chase that pesky Cass coupe down....

P.S. anyone who doesn't come next time is a raging homo

Hey mate, engine mounts were replaced with the rebuild in December.

It's down to the fact that I'm such a tight ass, I've got the original hose from the twin turbo pipe cut up to be the hard pipe joiner instead of getting silicon.

Also need new hose clamps.

Oh well, thematic the breaks.

At least it wasn't too serious.

Bah ha ha ha ha ha.

For everyone who hasn't seen Tats team name, get on the natsoft site and check it out.

2nded, if y'all don't come, expect to denounced to homo status unless you have a REALLY good excuse.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
