thanks.

i had no probs with the skyline, but the brakes on the 180 are so pissy!

Hey bonkers, I counted 6, where did you crash:D?

If you don't have to brake for Turn 1, you don't have enough power :P

I have to brake from 260 -> 180 to take turn 1 with Dunlop D01Js... I might be able to take Turn 1 faster, but I have only driven around EC once, so I'll gradually increase my velocity through that turn... plus I don't really want to punt my car into a wall :)

How fast do you take Turn 1 Duncan? I'd love to come for a ride with you on thursday if you don't mind... Maybe learn a few more tips and tricks, and tighten up my line...

Your mum wears army boots!!!

I've always thought that was the lamest "Ya mum" joke EVER"

At turn 2 I give it hell on the brakes.

I'm gonna try and get my dad out there just to show him that we're not banging wheels wif our cars. Anyone willing to give an old man a ride?

I'm pretty sure I do... I might have gotten that wrong though, as I said I've only been to EC once, and this is from memory...

I guess I'll find out next week! :P

Don't shoot me if I got the top speed wrong! :burnout:

Edit: I have no idea what my last turn exit speed is, I'll try to have a look next thurs

Well there ya go...... if you lot have got time to look at your speedo and tacho ya not trying......look at speedo into turn one? Not me!

Silver - as I am an older person with a sensible demeanor (whatever) I would be most honoured to take your Father for a quiet circuit of the raceway. - If he shits his pants - he cleans it up!

I've only ever driven Eastern Creek in a straight line for about 400metres or so...

Will there be people there to show us lines and stuff through corners etc? Maybe some of you guys that have done it a few times before?

Tah.

:lol:

2rismo... Bonks and Majanal in my eyes are excellent drivers

around E.C.. Maybe you should ask them on the day if they

could ride with you.. Bonks had a ride with me and it sure made

a difference in my lap times.. :P

Hmm. I haven't really seen Fatz drive around the track yet..

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
