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

sorry Al this maybe a really stoopid question... but what does the battery have to do with the clutch?

Almost 100% sure that its the clutch thats fubar... it was kinda funny... (in between being really sh!t)... If I put in any more than about 15% throttle in 4th or 5th gear the revs would shoot up and I would start slowing down...

crawling along punt road etc was fun too... I had to go all the way up punt road hill in FIRST GEAR! :Oops:

Al is pretty sick (not in the head this time) he thought you were Chris the "Scotty-Man" :D

I think Chris also said something about a clutch.

yes, i use a much more harder compound on my tyres (that's my official excuse). Lot harder to smoke up :D. Also might help that I haven't attended a skidpan day just yet and that I have a very low powered skyline. :) I'd love to see the day Al managed to get 520km out of a full tank :) Different courses for different horses eh?

Hey greg is it too large, coz at the res I'm running at (1600 by something) its pretty small. I'll take it off for now till I get around to making a smaller version.

On behalf of the Northern Street Cruizers and myself, I would like to say a HUGE THANKYOU to all the members of the Skyline Forum who came along on the day. A great success was had by all members with Skylines cleaning up every event, between Chris- R33 GTR, Andrew R34 GT-T and Yu Wing-Wong Mines R33 they won everything. The dual slalom was a feature of the event with a shoot out between Andrew and Yu, AWESOME stuff. There will definetly be another event so keep a look out early next year. AGAIN Thankyou all for making the event a success.

Al, you said your best was with a passenger and you hit a cone, so was mine. You know that dave guy with the cortina well he was with me when i did a 53 second pass and hit the set of hats out of the long sweeper and one of the hats inside the really tight part just before the end. Soooo na... na... na,nah........ na... na...! :jk:

Sorry about that Nick, did not think b4 i typed. As Shivam has stated i thought you were Chris, as he too stated some minor problems with his clutch b4 the event even started.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Was the failed sensor by any chance this one? Did it just fail or start pissing on itself? I ordered one too, for fuel pressure monitoring, and now I am hesitant to put it in, hehe. Where did you find a brand one?

      ZF 6HP26 to RB30 block

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You'd be insane, when a brand new 8HP is ~$4k, and all the work to put a 6 in would cost the same as an 8 and the 8 is a completely established swap. If you think that getting a cheap Falcon box is going to make it a cost effective exercise, then you're not accounting for the extra $10-15k that the task will consume.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.

      Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
