meh, I think the old full track was better. The blind entry to reasonably fast turn 8 was a real highlight of the track. Now its replaced with a mickey mouse section of slow esses and even slower hairpins...

will be a real PITA trying to find a track day using the best layout.

Definitely with you on this; one of my favourite bits of the track gone.

Coming over the top, cranked hard over on the knee slider, on the gas was the highlight of most track days...

Agreed.

I thought the same originally when the designs were released. Just does not suit the rest of the track.

How green is the new bit! He noticably backs off and it's still moving about a bit.

But the good bit about it is now there appears to be some slow to mid sections where you have to stop cars with some attitude on them and changes of direction. I think it works. BUT, agree, Corporate Hill was the best corner on the track where you would hammer through in a slide using all the exit...never quite made that sand trap though came close a few times. Shame they took away the kink in the braking area before the new section as well as that was another quite technical part of the track ...woudl have been great if they extended the track without messing with corporate hill...but oh well

I wondered why they took that kink around the back of corporate hill out, but I think that if it was still in place there would be a lack of decent passing opportunities on the new South circuit. I guess now all the power cars will scream up the hill, down the inside of the lesser powered cars into the reshaped turn, then hold everyone up through the twisty bit. We'll see...

the kink was removed to make entry into the new section easier/safer, that kink was put in cause the track was originally designed for bikes but now it throws you wide so now its more flowing

I didn't think they where removing turn 8 and if you hire the whole or south track you can still use i use it, but I'm with Fatz, 8 is better then 1

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
