Sweet, will keep an eye out for you! Be careful around Newcastle itself if your car is modified, the boys in blue had ruined the car scene up here due to the minority that spoilt it for all of us!

Ask any racer, any real racer. It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile; winning's winning

I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I'm free.

Or file for divorce?

Hahaha so it's going well I take it? Did you replace the wall etc? I only saw the demolition updates....

Yeah wall is fitted but still need to finish filling the gaps.

Melisa finally choose a colour so I can get paint and just rearranged all the tables and boxes of stuff in the back lounge room so we now have room to move

Benji aka Mr Wakefield Warrior Goes to Wakefield for the first time SUMMARY

Benji Lap Time: 1:19

-Great day.

-Third or fourth session I ran a 1:19 seconds with the stock standard S15 (my dad timed me) and that was with a FULL TANK OF PETTY which weighed me down a bit I think. Luckily I left the boot carpet, plywood board and spare tire out of the car...also removed the front floor mats. After that, didn't really get timed.

-I felt I was improving throughout the day whilst the car began deteriorating a little due to the brakes.

-Met a bunch of cool people during the day.

-Got some good onboard footage of me at Wakefield.

- I had about 9 sessions, after the 9th session I had I started hearing a weird metallic noise....and basically my rear brake pads were completely decimated and metal on metal. I was wondering why on my last session I wasn't entering corners with the same precision.

-On the way home, Dad was driving with the now metallic rear brakes....and anyway, detoured for fuel near liverpool, and then GPS took us this backway instead of the m7 where we must of got every red light. There was a fair few people beeping their horn etc, whilst my dad slowed down using gear changing (like ffs, the lights red why does anyone car how fast you get to the traffic light lol).

-Managed to get home okay though, rear rotors are shot to pieces though... soooo Slotted rotors, new hardware kits, and brake pads is on the menu ;)

SLIGHT MISHAPS

-Pushed it a bit too hard in the 7th session and floated off the track on the right hand corner before the hairpin, I made the mistake of easing off the throttle when I thought I was going to exit too wide and floated into the grassy patch (stopped pretty easily with no damage to the car).

LOLS

-Got a little bit sideways around one of the left hand corners....usually I power out of the corner with 3rd....but felt like a bit of fun so downshifted into second (checked my mirrors and no traffic) and then planted the throttle and initiated a power over drift for approximately one second, before quickly correcting it before it got to out of hand.

Chookie!! Rising Star

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      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.
