I enjoy your banter Roy. You and the silver bullet need to spend some more quality time together. If you spent a couple of nights outside with her in the cold before a track day, checking your leaks, checking your levels, checking your hose clamps, installing your own fire extinguishers, and generally preping the car then perhaps you wouldn't have as many frequent issues.

Team Last Minute Baby! Since changing to Racepace i cant really complain about the reliability of the car...all things considered it puts up with the abuse pretty well. Thinking about it the only thing he has done to the car has been tune, timing belt and water pump...but all credit to him as the tone done right has meant i have been at least able to enjoy the car, unlike the dark days of when i first moved to Vic and isntalled the Pfc

I remind you, think about how your car will be fairing in another 4 years time, putting up with the love you have shown it since starting track work in 2004. My poor car has a 4 year headstart, i wish i had the money and know how to do major annual overhauls :(

LOL...you just wait until we get to EC...i will beat your 1:49, but then again, you probably will too :( So for the time being the target is your std turbo PI and Sandown times :)

Yeh Winton is one of those tracks. But i have never actually done a lap near the potential of the car because of problems every time i have gone there. Rule of thumb is Dane, Matt and Ray are all in the 1:38s, and to date when i have had the car workign i am normally as quick as them . So provided i have enough fuel in it, i dont catch on fire, and i dont split a cool erhose/pipe...then im really hoping for a 1:37 or better :(

Im not normally far off the times of Ferni and BBGTR so happy if i can get within 2 seconds of them...so yeh 1:37 feels about right :)

Dane, Matt and Ray in the 1:38's?? You sure??

And I'm not sure BBGTR and ferni have done 1:35's either??

I think those times are a little out, if not, I'm slow..:(

And by the way, what happened to me and my time at EC??

I did a 1:47.1 back in Nov 06...

Dane and Matt have done high 1:38s, i think Ray is still in the 1:39s. BBGTR and Ferni are in the 1:38s or 1:37s from memory...but its only a matter of time until they march up into the 1:35-1:36s... the fact that i have doen 1:41s with the problems i have had, leak and miss, and running out of fuel so massive fuel surge...there is no way i cannot be 3 seconds quicker?!?!?!?

Like i said, Winton may be the last track i can get close to you cheaters...though i suspect the more laps you guys get in around there...the quicker you will get. I cant see me ever goind quicker then a 1:36 :(

hehe, I have only done a 1.38 at winton in my current car. My Sti was good for a 1.36 neat.

The 1.38 was with a split intercooler pipe so I'm banking on a 1.36.XX when we get there in July. We'll see :D

Jack, I'll put some cash down on your cracking a 34 this time. :(

Yeah I did the 1m35.5 @ Winton on std bottom end with stock turbs. (WRX R6 - 1st July 2006)

Fark, I was at Winton in April on a 'private' track day, best time I manged to do was a 1:35.9...:O

Looks like I need somebody fast in front of me to go faster... :P

Come July I might end up with no championship points... :closedeyes:

You going on Sunday Jack? I'm hoping to but I haven't heard from the boss if the car is working again yet. If so we'll see if we can both improve our efforts. I know I'm aiming for 33's at least. The thing is we were there the other week and the track just didn't seem to have the usual amount of grip so it might be hard. (Mind you I only did 2 laps so...) Apparently it was resurfaced before the recent V8 round.

Im sure Chris will be doing that time in the practice session next time at Calder.... :cheers:

The time to beat is 1:05.5, Matt is the man to beat....

Yeah shouldn't be a problem. I've actually only ever had 2 hot laps at Calder. But when you have stock power it's the tracks with corners that you can make up time on. So Calder has typically been my worst track. But now with a little bit of power...

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      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.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      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.
