I have the 4.3 ring and pinion if you want to try and wake up a few revs. I get what you mean about gear change but its definitely the less of the evils looking at how lazy it is out of Dandy and on to the straights. It looks lazier than my RB20 with a TD06

I have a 4.3 with a nismo 2 way in it. We have been using it up to date. But the 1.5 way provide much better turn in.

Lol..wow and its still that lazy. Are you still in the std manifild? Maybe if you want the power you need to get a better manifold in it.

I have gone 4.1 as it will give me better drive using 2nd and 17" tyre i run at places like Sandown and Winton.

Just to carify, it has the 4.11 1.5 way in it at the moment. However only for the last two Sandowns. Previous to that it had a 4.3 2 way for the last 18 months.

I do like the 4.3 ratio and punchiness out of the corners, but the 1.5 way turn in is amazing.

So a 4.3 1.5 way would be killer.

Well done in the shootout John! Very entertaining! :)

Was good to watch!!!!!!

Well done mate!!

great effort, you should be proud.

I reckon the Open and pro guys have you to thank for drying out the track :P

Nice drift

Thanks everyone.

Finishing 4th in Club and fastest RWD in club. The car didn't have a huge amount left in it, we could have dipped into the 1.40's but that lap didn't come together.

Putting the 4.11 diff in the car was the wrong move, but we go on top of that early on Thursday in testing, changed back to the 4.3.

Amazing work...huge crecit to you to be getting the results you do. You almost motivate me to get my car back out there but tired of being broke

Doesn't need massive HP, just be reliable. Worst thing is working on it more than driving it.

Yeh, my problem is my Skyline is still a road car and after 14 years of club/track work it had really taken its toll and so much of it was worn and need replacing. Woudl have bene easier to go and buy a neat std R32 and put my good gear in it and go dedicated track R32..but meh...when the R32 is back on the road it will be a tidy and reliable bus and hopefully a tad quicker than it used to be to boot

Yep learnt that one. Front mount plenum cost a lot of headache. Fabricator buggered my motor and it's never been the same since.

Just took out my motor with buggered bearings and about to put the replacement one in during the week.

Yes, less dicking around means less dicking around.

Had the left side of the engine bay out over the weekend replacing the exhaust manifold gasket. Which had blown out 1,2 and 6 cyl.

However once we got the manifold off, we opted to change that as well. The one that was on there had never been swaped out, so 19yrs of service. The last 3 pretty much all track days. Another standard manifold has gone back on.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
