I dont know if anyone ran? I saw Greg there in the morning off to get his registration but didnt see him again? A Black 32 GT-R in the car park with SAU stickers as well. There was a stripped out 33 on the track its the only skyline I saw.

The Formula 3 cars on track vs the karts was lol though

I left about 12:30 just as about 50 Evos & rex's showed up, some damn quick cars out today though. Glad I didn't enter I would have been destroyed by everything on track today!

There were a number of our guys out. Fastest from our group was Phil with a 56.8 I think. Stupid quick. Greg ran with a faulty transponder chip and didn't get timed properly.

Chants got to sit in Shawn's 4 door 34 with 'factory upgrades' and enjoyed that.

Was a great day.

The practice sessions were crazy once we found out who we were practising with. 'Just go out with the sedans' :wacko: . No briefing of nothing basically line up show your arm band and floor it out on the track and try merge in and find a spot between numerious aussie cars, Carrera cup car, merc sedan, time attacks, rotaries, v8's , Hyundai class etc. Keep ur eye in the rear view mirror for guys trying to pass in close proximity, even around corners at speed. On the straight i was fine, but braking and corning um :whistling: . Was heaps fun :yes: , but may not suited for some people.

The sprint were good. started 12:30

4 rounds of 4 to 5 laps each. Little bit of traffic but not to many cars, we all got held up at some stage, but generally was a good free run and plenty of time out there.

In the final round greg got a 1:04.8.

Cordo got a best of 1:08.2

I got a best of 1:07.5

i certainly found my limits with grip, brakes and overheating.

Would do again, but with some improvements done to the car.

Major bummer re Greg's transponder. What was the final washup there? Did he get any money back - did they finally sort it out at all?

Best for me for the day was a 56.2. The biggest smile I got though was watching the GT3 disappear in the rear-view.

that 32 GTR was mine :) they're SAU vic stickers.. havnt joined QLD yet.. looking at it.

i just turned up to have a look as i havnt been to QR yet and looking at getting into some track days. I had a good chat with Greg though, i didnt see the owner of the white 33 in the hour and a half i was there. awell.

hopefully meet some of you at things down the track

They reprinted all the session time sheets at the end of the day and i was on the new sheets they printed out.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
