thanks everyone, was an awesome event... loads of fun...

I promise I was actually moving on the straights, even though it looked like I was standing still!

I think my mate took some photos, will see if I can pry any of them out of him...

Awesome laps of happiness was happy

Was indeed very cold this morning but I was rugged up -except for Nick he was almost butt naked cuz Gat-ton

Great turnout as well and thanks to Evo guys

53mins on track though and my brakes were literally smoking lol

Big thanks again to Mike and the execs for today

No dramas on the way home? looked nastier than what it was i think.

Yeah, hose was up high and on the outlet of the engine, just after the thermostat, so the engine stayed full enough I think.

Looking at replacing all my hoses now, anyone know anything about silicon radiator hoses? are they stronger or just more flashy?

Thanks to Mike and all the team at SauQld a great morning was had. Great to have the extra time as well. Am going to upload a quick clip to YouTube of 88RDY hitting the rev limiter, you will see the outcome soon.

Awesome air this morning big shout out to Mike for as always making today happen. Was great would luv to run the full track next time!

Glad we could fly the skyline flag in the sea of Evo's ;)

Ants could defo smell your brakes and about 16 more sets out there that were on fire! Spoke to the guy with the yellow Evo on e85 and he said he was full outa brakes at one stage with his street pads in there. That Evo was fast......

Cheers

That is a fast 34 and the screamer was crazy loud!

Glad to hear it seems no damage done... You were really hooking through the dipper I had a massive smile on my face seeing and hearing you give it the beans through there ;)

From what I can gather the silicon hoses are stronger and less prone to failure than the normal style hoses.....

No worries, unfortunately unless we get 100 people they don't let you have the national circuit.

Mine were smoking when I came off, was a good 50 minutes.

Great day was had! Thanks to Mike etc. for organising it and everyone that came along. Was pretty happy for my first track event, Pinky didn't let me down :P Huge thanks to Martin for coming out with me because I was being a pansy before I actually got into it :P

so we will need the skyline,evos and vr4 clubs and anyone else that can make it,big ask,we have got a good group of skylines and evos at the moment,sometimes more isnt better,theres nothing wrong with the short tracks imoa,gives us slower cars a chance,lol.

    • Just a thought, how come you didn't use a 4D table? So you essentially run 2x fuel and 2x ignition tables, and the table/map switch is handled when there's enough WMI pressure detected. This is mine, but using the flex sensor as the 4th dimension, note the slider at the bottom. Between 0 to 70%, the timing is blended/interpolated , once it goes past 70% ethanol full send
    • Hi guys, after dreaming of owning a JDM legend for 20 years, I got the chance to buy a 1995 R33 GTR.  I live in a small country called the Solomon Islands which is in the pacific. There is no performance car scene here, however 90% of vehicles here are 2nd hand Japanese imports so there is a handful of JDM sports cars here, tucked away.  3 Evo VI’s, 1 180sx turbo, 2 GTO’s, 1 R32 GTR and 2 R33 GTR’s.    Only 1 Evo and a 33 (mine) are active. I’m hoping to set up a club to get these cars back in the road.    I’d known of my GTR for 9 years and always dreamed of owning it. At the start of this year I found it sitting outside a workshop waiting for a respray. It was in pretty bad shape, although running and driving perfectly apart from a big exhaust leak and worn out bushings. My brother in law who is a huge GTR guy came over for a holiday and I took him to see it, he got into my ear and I bought the car 2 weeks later as is.   I’ve had a pretty bad problem with alcohol and weed since 2020 and I really wanted to quit. So I used this as my motivation. I quit everything cold turkey and have been investing all my spare time into restoring this car. It’s honestly been the best experience and has been such a positive impact on my life.  There is no market for these cars here, no parts and no mechanics that can work on them, so if you wanted to sell one it would be pretty impossible unless you found the right buyer. After a bit of negotiating with the previous owner (a good friend) I got the car for $15,000 AUD ($85,000 SBD) which is insane.  I’ve almost finished doing a refresh on the engine, new turbos, spark plugs and split fire coil packs. Also new gaskets and seals, This car had no leaks to begin with, but it’s due now being 30 years old. . Next I’ll be working on the suspension, all new bushings, ball joints, king pins and new coil overs.  Then it will be body work, it has really bad rust in the boot floor, I have purchased a rear beaver cut from my bro which will replace the rusted out one. The car is originally KL0, but was burnt orange when it landed here, then it was resprayed toxic green and then Bayside Blue. I’m probably going to get it redone in Bayside Blue.  I’m super grateful to be able to enjoy this car and couldn’t have done it without my bro Chris from OG-JDM. Looking forward to the future with this car and hoping to get it on the runway at the airport here 😂  cheers fellas 
    • Also, it is just about triangularity. The less angle, the easier it physically is to do. Think of the amount of slip you're getting, as how hard you need to push an object. More slip, equals pushing way harder. Then the ramp is how steep the hill is. The Accel is less slip, which means it takes less pushing (less slip) to get it to be able to push apart. However, the steeper sides on the decell means it will take a lot more pushing (slip) to get it up the ramp.
    • It's the angle of the ramp from the vertical. You're measuring from the horizontal. To convert, take 90* minus your angle reference = Nismo Angle.
    • I agree, thus 45 degree is the *max* force one could apply to it. This is similar to what I've seen in uh... simulations... which allow you to play with diff ramp angles. Anything higher (or lower) than 45 degree would produce less force as 45 is the max... triangley.  I would state the 1 way is 90 degree, at least this is how my brain and other ways of explaining it refer to it. 90 degree also effectively acted completely open. I realise Nismo refer to it not as 90 (or 89) but "1". So I'm not understanding the angle on which these angles are based.
