Stock Vectra doing well until it rolled a tyre off the front-RHS wheel and made friends with a traffic light control box at DECA:

Howdy guys good to meet some fellow skyline nuts!

Hope all goes fine with the 34, damn nice car!

I ended up winning the co drivers by 30 points after a timing mistake on sunday was corrected last night! I think I won 6 outright quickest times also, got to be happy with that!

Great event and I'd encourage anyone who is a little keen on motorsport and drinking to give it a go!

Thanks

Simmo

Who am I? I'm an ex-game show host who can actually drive, has a tough RX7 but due to sponsorship arrangements have to punt around in the sporting equivalent of a golf-cart?

Unhappy campers wating for Jack. Tara brought some good muffins to cheer us up though :D

Well done guys, looks like you had a great weekend and were very competitive. You gotta hate mechanical dramas, remember to fill us in once you know exactly what caused the problem.

I note that Golgos times weren't counted but how did it go against the competition?

Brakes in Golgo not as good as brakes in R34 - learning that fact on the job:

A foregone conclusion - 'And how would you like your ass handed to you today sir?':

Jamezilla gets my vote for champion of 2004, im not too proud to admit i would have at least wound back the rev limit to 8,900rpm :D

Shame i couldnt make it to spectate, i was bashing around Horsham, Ballarat and whole bunch of places i cant spell in the mud and cold.

Good to see the R34/33 proudly flying the Nissan performance flag :D

Now that you have doen Dutton you know you want a re-match against SR/Escort in Rally of Tas :D

Will the car be ready for PI the week after next?

so did golgo have to go through an emergancy sticker procedure?

I would have thought Golgo had enough stickers as it is to enter any racing event without need for supplementation :Oops:

:):rofl::(:rofl:

Congrats Simmo - fantastic result and, if the way you were driving at the NSW rally is anything to go by, well deserved!!!

congrats on giving it a go guys, and for how it went while you were running :) Also *very* pleased to see you guys hitting the cans as well :rofl:

I love the G's you pulled in a car with stock suspension too, it goes to show how amazing a good set of tyres are :(

And Simmo, can you retire from these events so someone else can win? :slap:

Simmo - great stuff mate. I think I saw just about every one of your 26 runs and you didnt put a foot wrong all weekend. So well done mate. That car you were driving sure was one tidy package - I hope for your sakes its not the last time you get to sit behind the wheel of it.

Good luck with the quest for the Oz cars too. If you are down in Melbourne be sure to drop us a line and we'll catch up for a beer.

:P

Ni: I took 300 photos... will do some more online later tonight. Thanks again for stickers.

Merli: We all know you want your car to look as cool as Golgo. You = sticker-envy :D

      Starting again

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
