Recommended Posts

Indeed.

Only things we need to fix are.

Change stock xexon lights out

Change pod filter

Front grill missing.

He gave me a month extension to fix it hahaha...going back over pits next Wednesday, easy stuff to fix

Right you pack of skyline no-shows :-p

Short notice but the old man and I are both off work and in Perth today so I've managed to convince him to race the 33 GT-R down the drags tonight. Few Skyline enthusiast friends heading down so don't be shy to get in touch and come down for a run or a look.

I hate to "talk it up" or speak to soon but the last time the old boy ran the GT-R, he managed some consistent low 12's with a few 12.0''s on streets but couldn't crack the 11's, so given that it's a had a few touch ups and mod's since then, it could be interesting to see... It will make plenty of noise and be a ball of fun if nothing else.

As always, if anyone new or unsure is chasing some quick info, feel free to give me a buzz - 0457 504 844
Hope to see you there.

Cheers

Well last night was a hell of a turn out with the place maxing out to the 180 car limit, and proved to be an awesome night with a shit load of great cars and great people.
Very surprised to see no comments on here after seeing at least a dozen fantastic skylines and a few SAUWA stickers. Had a chat to a couple off seemingly really good blokes so hopefully you guys will get on here and make yourselves known some time soon.

Apart from the shit load of awesome various Jap cars and high end V8's, some of the Skyline highlights would probably be;

  • A few very clean 32 GT-R's ranging between low 11's and mid 12's
  • Lots of GTS-T's ranging between 12 - 14's from what I saw
  • Plenty of RB noise and some very quality driving (including some good burnouts) - very good to see gentlemen!
  • The old boy just cracked in to the 11's for the first time with his R33 GT-R before the clutch had enough and prevented any further improvements.

Speaking with Wes today and he confirmed it is official with the time sheet evidence - the almighty R32 of Mr James went 11.35 @ 206km/hr ;-) A very impressive new pb Wes!

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
