Cause we didn't have a 31. Cause 31 drivers in Melb need to get their ass to the track.

I took this photo and if you look closely you'll see I have added the larger numbers cause I didn't know if you would be able to see the smaller ones.

Yeah I need to egt out on the track again. I was hoping to come down for the weekend, but someone had the fun job of replacing an exhaust manifold gasket and almost all of his ignition system.....

I'm getting my ECU chipped, a set of King Springs Super lows, and a boost controller next month. Oh, I get my Slotted rotors, and my twin piston front calipers soon!!! And I'll finally be able to run some decent pads like EBC green stuff or something. :burnout:

So Team - whats the plan for the next day out?

Anyone keen for Phillip Island for 18-19/9? I know both me and Emre are.

The AROCA Day at Sandown on the 19th is sold out already. We'll run the same risk with the HSV Club if we are slackers! BTW - I do know for a fact that the HSV Club will allow passengers in the mornings.

Also - if anyone cares - the professional pics are up at www.sdpics.com

Im happy to put my name and money down for the Phillip Island weekend,  though i doubt i will be able to make it, but someone else can always step into my shoes...as long as we know the spot is available.

I am keen to take ur spotif you dont make it, and i am actually in freaking victoria on that weekend.

Do you require a special license for PI?

I'll be in for *any* track day organised before the end of October.

With the Phillip island weekend, its a supersprint right? I'll need to borrow an extinguisher and tie down from someone to put in whatever hertz give me.

I'll be there. Lets go for it.

Any one got any ideas how I can replace the rubber boot on my shifter? I pulled the shifter out on the weekend and it seems that the boot is made around the shifter, cause I can't see how it would streatch over the top of the shifter or over the ball at the bottom. Geoff you got any suggestions on this?

Also Roy make a date for R32 repairs.

Yeah Roy, lets get it fixed and dot the HSV/MSCA weekend at PI.

Chris, hunt around for a similar sized boot that will fit under the trim boot. Just have to stop the "bleeding".

Duncan, this Wednesday September 1 there is a NDSOC (Nissan Datsun Sports Owners Club) meeting at the Whitehorse Inn, 5 Burwood Rd Hawthorn.

Ill be there for a few shooies and a schnitzel...we can discuss perhaps going halvies in another Echo if my car isnt ready.

Chris/Geoff im still waiting on the mechanic to get back to me about where i stand with my engine woes...ill call thenm again tomorrow. Im starting to think about how wise is it to use my old bottom end with another head...it is at least ripping th esump of my old engine and having a quick look at the condition.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
