I think I read it was the side skirts of the kit.

Must have fallen outside of:

"Original under body floor between the axles is required, no flat bottoms, diffusers, etc may extend forward of the rear axle or aft of the front axle."

Team USA had wiring issues (i heard) and kept breaking ecu units.

I had a pretty good weekend, didn't get the mid 40 I wanted. Thats ok, something to aim for next year.

Good to put some faces to names.

Sounds similar to my weekend.

Either popped or broke 3 driveshafts in 3 sessions.

Didn't finish a lap with 4wd, in fact I didn't make it past Corporate Hill with 4wd once!!

Was towed off 1 session when the above smashed itself to bits, made a hell of a noise when it let go.

Oh well, like Richo, there's always next year.....

You did look good on the live stream hanging the arse out :)

was good to watch and on live stream I got to see heaps of the action

I'm hoping to have the 34 at a point I can enter it next year in clubsprint

This is the lap from the Superlap Shootout. Done the whole event on 1 set of Advan A050, Nothing left of the tyres pushing a 1750kg GTR around for 20 laps over the 2 days. Still managed to do a 1:40.4362 only .08 of a second of my best lap time for the event. Maximum attack on shagged tyres sliding around,

Nice work, man she looks heavy.

Is there any substantial weight saving being done on R35s yet?

When you look at Pro Class and see it being dominated by Evo's and Silvia's, you've gotta wonder if there's any way to really beat a light chassis without drag car levels of horsepower - which is useless on a control tyre anyway.

Woah! You sure we're manhandling it round the track haha, looks like a whole heap of fun though!

No weight saving in my R35 has full trim just took the baby seats out for Time Attack. This is the main problem with R35's the tyres go like jelly due to the weight. There is no way i can do more than 1 lap on the soft A050 tyres.

Hey guys, congrats to all the SAU'ers that did so well. Truely impressive!

Here is a compilation video I did from Saturday's highlights. Wish I could have been in 4 places at once to catch all the action.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
