I tend to leave from Northcote at 5:45am, though I don't stop on the way. Note I don't go through Cranbourne either - I head towards Pakenham on the Freeway and cut down Koo Wee Rup Road.

Went down to Chasers to have the engine checked out, don't know if the other garage's instrument read low last time but compression was again even but up at around 160 per cylinder, leak down test was also very good. Looks like I can continue to target my money at the rear suspension and possibly Paul Ruzic EM Pro to provide engine monitoring to keep it so - currently just have standard dash.

good news on the comp test, just keep it cool and fill it with fresh oil frequently and bobs your uncle!

i'd love to throw some money at the rear end in my car, it's a constant struggle trying to keep it straight.

have fun at the island!

putting 300kw through my stock rear end was a nightmare at Sandown I just couldnt get on it anywhere but the straights, even then it was point and shoot but dont pull the trigger to hard

...wasnt too bad at PI though, just drove like a normal car but faster,only on the tight tight handers it wanted to step out :D

1.5Way KAAZ or NISMO diff is a must. it's $1500 worth of kit, but money well spent.

This is what Birds was telling me.

How much of a difference did you notice? Just traction out of corners or....?

Yeah diff and brakes is the last big spend I have really..It will have to wait though so in the meantime I will just cruise around and learn the road..

And swaybars..mind of I ask what sizes you run John or is it secret squirrel business..

Adjustable Whiteline Front, there is only one size 24mm.

Fixed Whitline Rear, 20mm.

The diff changes the way the car behaves, not only under power but off power into corners. It's less sloppy and more direct, the change on the road is equally as good. Rob in the black 33 just changed from the stock diff to a KAAZ 1.5 way recently.

GTR is different. The GTR rear subframe is different so is the front (obvious reasons there, front diff)

27mm for the front of the ECR33 is fixed mate. That would be terrible, unless you like massive understeer all the time.

My entry was confirmed by email yesterday too, as scrutiny opens at 7:30 I guess we would need to be there around that time, especially with up to 140 entrants.

I will be meeting other drivers at McDonalds Cranbourne at 6am if you want to get a quick bite and head down with us.

cool, i'll try to make it by then however i'll probably be running late and miss you guys.

What a gorgeous day, looking forward to tomorrow. Where are you planning to park up, if early, close to cafe or at far end of garages near the garage used as the entrance to pit lane?

^^ Was pushed up beside the scrutineering shed, didn't look good.

Pretty happy with my new PB of 1:56, not bad for a 2 ton car I thought. lol.

My gearbox let me down again, perhaps time for a manual conversion?

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
