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

For sale: GTR, purple. Never raced, cornered hard or driven past 5000 RPM...

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?

Great effort guys, pity about the clutch, saw it at Ice about an hour ago, looks like its been 'chewed up and spat out'....

oh well, think you better go for a twin plate this time.....

I'll be interested in entering next year.......

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:

Roy - we should have entered... sounded like a whole lot of fun. Next year i'll be there.

James - I love the comedy/ commentry on the photos.

Andrew / Gerald - Great effort. Sorry I couldn't be there to support.

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

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
