LOlL ok Top 20 it is then.

But really it will need help from you guys. If you have a first post in this thread detailing your car mods and lap times, then that is the post you need to maintain. Sure post up dribble like i do to keep the pages rolling along. But maintain your first post in this thread. I will then link that post to your time in the Top 20 so ppl can readily get some stats / details on the cars.

As for my car. I personally feel in Vic we are starting to see the fruit of ppl now having done some track work, say 2+ years under their belts. When i first moved to Vic Snowy was the only just starting out with track days and it was unheard of that a STD RB20 with turbo upgrade will be doing 1:23s at Sandown or 1;52s at PI. By years end i want to have done a 1:21 at Sandown and a 1:49 at PI. Thats my goal for the car, and worst case i will only be a second off the target times.

The teens at Sandown and 1:4#s we are seeing at PI are indicative of the fact that the Vic gang are now getting their heads around their cars and how to drive them quickly. LOL i just wish i had gone to Racepace in 2004. I would have had a good 12-18 months being quicker then the girls in the GTRs :) Now it seems even if i wrangle my goal times out o fmy car i will be destined to being an also ran as other people are better drivers in better cars. Oh well, time to start playing Under 12s Rugby Union. May be the only way i win a trophy :)

Care to provide some more info on the car? Any pictures? Suspension and brakes? Thats aa great effort, well done. Is the car still registered?

Road registered - give over. It is this. Image number 50.

Driven by Evan MacRae & wrongly listed as an R31 on Natsoft. It is entered in the street car class. Please note - for the Eastern Staters "Street Car Class" doesn't mean you can drive any of the entries on the street.

Although I have a question - why was it so much quicker in the handicap race than in the other three races?

Edited by djr81

That makes more sense, i was wondering how a DR30 could be so quick. Answer is its basically a race car.

Scotsman...lol, i seem to recall a lot of kighter GTR drivers struggling to get in the top 3 at any go-kart night. Hmmm, i wonder what expalins why the the Telstar driver and the two GTSt drivers are always at the tops of the sheets. Hell and im the heaviest of all :thumbsup:

Hi guys....jeeez you just cant hide anything on this site :O The reason amongst a whole heap of things ( including first outing with a new motor and change of final drive ratio plus newly dry sumped and scared stiff that the belt would fall off) for the quick time in the handicap was a clear track, no dicing for the first few laps and me with a real attitude that said 62 or go home...Dicing is still a problem for the car as we have massive brake knock off problems and at those times there is not a lot of time to left foot pump, pump, pump. Also made a couple of minor suspension adjustments (Penske adjustable shocks on the rear) and knocked the cold tyre pressures down to 20 on the rear and 22 on the front. Hope that helps. Car runs 1320 kg on 8 17 x 8 inch rims with control Toyo tyre. Still got a low 62 maybe high 61 but seperately need a close ratio box rather being soooooo gentle with the standard RB25 box.

Cheers hope the above helps

Well after what seems like an eternity to me I'm finally back and marked my return today at Phillip Island with a new PB of 1.47.17. Not too shabby given it is the 1st full track day I have got through in my car since Oct 05 and that the tyres I was on (toyo's) were definitely a good 1.5-2s slower than the bridgestones looking at how much Scotsman could get back on me through the sweepers and under brakes.

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
