WOW!

Lost for words, to describe the amount of adrenaline pumping excitement that was enjoyed by all who participated. Truly had an awesome time, and managed to go through a set of rear tyres :D.

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Chris (Scottsman) [R33 GTR] for winning best “Overall” (consistent results throughout the whole day), first in “Figure 8 circuit” and 2nd in “Sprint Circuit”. To Adam (Adz) [R34 GTT] for 1st in “NSC challenge”, 1st in "Sprint circuit" and 2nd place "Overall". Also to MinesR33 ( sorry forgot your name :Oops: ) [R33 Mines GTR] for winning 3rd “Overall”, second in “NSC challenge” and one more trophy. Needless to say that Skylines Australia dominated the day’s events and had a great time doing it :(. The Northern Street Cruizers (NSC) club president was extremely pleased with our attendance and how our club members respected the rules set out in the morning.

Sorry to those that wanted to be there, but due to their own circumstances, could not make it.

Tried to have a chat with all imports, especially skylines, but as soon as I got there I was swapping my rims, then swapped them again, after the first event, because I was getting toooo much understeer on the stockies.

Thanks again to everyone that made this weekend so great! :D

This is planned to be a annual event, so hopefully next year we will have even more entrants.

Alan

Gotta admit that black 180 did look sweet, good to see a few other imports from this forum.

Did the 180 win any trophies? Otherwise the skylines owned the day's events :D!

Jarrod my best time had a 2 sec penalty because i hit one witches hat, and i also had a passenger :).

Had heaps of fun... great day even though 2 minutes after leaving DECA and heading home my clutch started to slip so bad I could barely get the car to 100km/h... going up the hills i would slow to 80 then pick up speed down the hill only to slow down up the next one... people driving near me must have thought I was nuts...

So who wants to donate a clutch? :D

Ahhhh, you made me paronoid!, i thought i was speeding (or my speedo was out) and leaving the group behind.

Change that battery Nick and check your alternator. Make sure the regulator is not over charging and frying the battery

      I know you said no amps in the boot, but there's enough space next to the battery for a pair of modern small foot print amps OR one small 6x channel amp. This is what I did over 6 years ago, used 2x marine amps (no decent 6x or 5x channel amps back then)

      Pressure delta gauge is pure pron. No guessing, no excuses.

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      That’s the one. Yeah, the seller has confirmed the base ECU is from a manual car.    To be honest, I’m only worried about the TCS light being illuminated due to registration here in NL - unsure on rules. Back in Japan, we weren’t allowed to have any permalit error-related lights (or so my shaken guy said).    Looks like this Nistune is the way to go then, appreciate it GTSBoy, and the others that chimed in.

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There is no impact. Granted, mine is in an R32, so there are a couple of other things going on, but.... my auto ECU came with the auto engine. Bolted it up to the manual gearbag and suddenly the TCU is just spare parts along for the ride. The ECU doesn't (really) care. Nistune is the fixer of all wrongs. I have no ABS CU or traction control. That would be a recipe for fault codes and permalit check engine light. But....just go into the diagnostics pages and turn them off. Presto, ECU no longer cares that it can't talk to those CUs. If you're worried about the TCS light being lit on the dashboard for some rason (that I am not catching right now), then.... remove the globe. No-one needs the TCS anyway. That is what throttle control is for. I certainly don't have it - haven't missed it in 12-13 years or so. Never wanted it.
