I wasnt racing for this one , but saw a few nice skylines . Also I mean CALDER :Oops:

Franks white R33 GTR was absolutly flying and i think would have won the day easily posting in the 63 sec bracket .

AVO had a strong R33 gts t which sounded great and had plenty of straight line .

A black/purplish R33 GTR with black GTR rims was out but seemed to have ignition dramas later in the day .

Also a grey R33 gts t which seemed to have a constant misfire but toughed it out all day .

Its good to see these cars on the track and i know the rexie boys are always keen on watching their progress

There will be a few more joining the ranks i think Adam.

an 34GTR (once gearbox is done)

an R31GTS-R (once my motor is done)

a 32-t - im sure Roy (troy) will come with us

Maybe a 33-t , someone might have to twist Geoff arm?

probably a few more too :D Hope their keen attitude sticks around :)

....and some stickies :D

lol... who has a rubber fetish :) ...ignorance is bliss, just disconnect your oil temp gauge or be sure to get the cooler before the rubber :D

Yeh once the old battle hardened R32 has stopped its hissy fits and is back together running, ill be good for just about any track day that doesnt clash with work commitments.

FLYGTR you say an R33 GTR posted in the 63 second bracket, i take it Sandown has a short track?!?!?! as i think V8 Supercars do 71sec laps?!?!?!

The event was at Calder, I'm sure that's what he meant.

The purplish GTR is mine and had to retire after the first session.

Emre - heard you may have lost a piston. Any truth in the rumours?

FLYGTR - I'm going to join the rex club. Their track days look well orgainised. Do you go to the general meetings? I was thinking of going down this Thursday and checking it out. Apparently the Maserati Club is joining the MSCA next year so those track days could get very crowded.

I might have to defect to WRX club as well! :Oops:

Andrew,

All the possibilities went through my head on the day, but it's not internal.

The car has a very erratic idle and running on 5 cylinders in in low rpm, but i have no loss of power. I am leaning towards an AFM or a dud injector in no:3 cylinder but haven't found out for sure yet.

The day was organised very well. They had 75 cars entering the track day and there were plenty of laps to be had.

Well Emre I hope it all turns out to be as painless as possible for you.

Had a look at the rest of the track days for the year with the rex club - their timing is shocking. Next one is the weekend after the dutton, the one after is on Grandfinal Day (I'll be there) and the final one is the day after Derby Day on the Nov Long weekend (BIG drinking day for me).

So that sucks.

Hey guys , i meant calder my mistake .

Emre i saw you working on the car but it looked like you had your hands full so i didnt want to hassle you ( been in those shoes), .

Snowman , i am a regular at the meetings ( not this one though even though with race brakes their should be a good one) . The rex club is pretty good especially the motorsport part of it as you will find they are all like minded poeple with very few fools , thats why im still their . I usually race an ol' VL commo but have been using the RS lately . Our next event is at sandown or winton , if your keen on some more info pm me.

adam.

I also thought VicSAU was getting ready for track days ? , if you guys are stuck i can point you in the right direction to meet the cams requirements.

Adam,

You should've said hi... I had parked the car for an hour or two just to watch some action, but went back to it later in the day to eliminate a couple of possibilities.

Anyways, it turned out to be a blown inlet manifold gasket.

Jack, thanks for lending me your AFM mate.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
