Off topic but I need the help from you guys in this thread who track your Skylines. I am getting 130 oil temps every time I go out on track, 5 hot laps and I am forced to come into pitt. Is this normal? Yes I have an HKS oil cooler. The thread I have started is here, thanks in advance for any help you can loan me!

Probablly just stating the obvious, but I found my oil temps went down using Penrite Syth 5 oil ... $90/5l

sorry Nizchic I was running street tyres all round....I need to invest in semi slicks if I want to get the time down.

Thinking about a std set of rims 16" with 205 Bridgestone Potenzas. Anyone got any sugestions where I'd get a set of std rims??

Might as well post up mine, I'm happy considering is was my first time at a track and I was not too keen to flog the car.

SAU Nickname: JCMarshall_Law

Car Make and Model: 1995 R33 Manual GTST

Circuit Name: Queensland Raceway - clubman circuit, 2.11 km

Lap time: 1:12.97 (1-2-05, check post by organiser - Paul "GTRman1992" in thread in Queensland section titled "Track Day 1-2-05" for verification)

Modifications

Engine: Standard RB25DET - Exhaust and Pod filter mods only

Power: Standard + whatever a exhaust and pod gets ya.

Suspension: Koni adjustable front struts, Bilstien rear struts, standard springs.

Tyres: 17 inch Falken 235's

Brakes: Standard calipers and disks with Nizmo pads

Body weight: Standard ~1300kg ?

I'm down to 1:15.52 at Wakefield Park now.

I notice that's what Tosh was getting last year in the MR2. I really notice the size of the 4 door on that circuit but I'd like to think that if I match him at Wakefield then I should beat him at Eastern Creek.

wakefield Park, standard MX-5 (plus exhaust and koni's) on Yoki 032 R,s 1:12.78, Calder in same car 1.13.02.

Saw you fellas out at Calder on Saturday, you looked like you were having fun. Attack the track hard through the corners and you should be down around the minute mark in a mild tuned 2wd skyline. I also noticed many of you guys were braking about 100metres too early at Calder. There was aguy there in a silver GTR as well that was pinging it's nuts off, hope he didn't melt a piston......

FWIW, I took my Cuz's R32 4 door around there on road tyres and we were losing a car length a lap on a 911 RS 993 model and the guy was going hard in his 911.

I'd love to get my car out but alas it's in Autosupermarket. Too expensive to start running the skyline how I want so back to racing an MX-5.

    • 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.
