Never driven on a track, never driven that track! I'm gunna die :P

Matt, few tips.

- Brake (when you're going in a straight line) just before the corner. This shifts weight to the front end and allows a sharper turn in. Can unsettle the car if you brake while turning.

- When you're going into the corner, look at the apex and look where you want to exit. You ideally want to take the corner in a straight line after you've turned in.

-Don't be afraid of coming out wide on the corner, this can help to minimise tyre squeel and allow you to start accelerating earlier, the secret is to use all the space the track gives you.

- Once you've hit the apex of the corner you can accelerate.

360rwkw in a RWD car will be a handful on the track so just go into it slow until you become comfortable with the track and the lines required.

oh man theres gunna be some hectic cars in there!!! though your a first timer

you drive with people with similar experience not power. youll be in the 1:25 section for the first couple runs, then move up slowly till your in the right place

pretty keen now mannnn

Got it! Trail brake, apex, gate!!! Easy

Will be awesome man!! I am getting an SAU NEWCASTLE sticker :P

Lol no idea what trail braking is, but if that means brake before turn-in while car is pointing straight, then yes!.

Your a clown!! Your giving advice and don't understand what it means? Dumb ass :P GTFO

Dude, I actually read what Matt said as Newcastle Skylines sticker as well =S.

Summoning GTR-34A, are you going to the trackday?

Have you got shit in your eye again?

LOL, I'm a lot more confident in my driving ability, than my ability to install a $70 shift knob =D

Got it..... You can't drive and love the knob?

    • 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.
