Well im pumped to get back to the track now. I did a comfortable 1:38.2 on the weekend at Winton, whilst being held up by a F430 which i ended up overtakign around the outside. Only had two laps as part of the event...so cant wait to get back there now. Need to bang out a few good times whilst BBGTR is off the road and Ferni is waiting for his new wheels :) I am hoping to get to PI this weekend to give this new suspension a real work over. With any luck i will get into the 1:49s

Amazing, a mod that actually works sure does increase enthusiasm to get back out there :)

AAARRRGGGHHHH, the wait is killing me. Troy, was also looking forward to the MSCA day this weekend but alas it is not to be.

Just don't bin it going for a 220 kmh entry into turn one......

LOL...good point, but im more worried about the entry onto the straight. So keen to get back out there, I really dont know what to expect from the car. I seem to recall you have been punting around on the Bilsteins as well. I hope you like your new suspension as much as i like mine....its so much easier to drive now :).

Anything change to pull a second out of your lap time...or was it just more seat time?

Better tyres (Dunlop D02 Semi's), bigger balls/stupidity under brakes.

I got down to a 1:01.64 today, I'll be interested to see what I can do when i have the diff repaired.

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
