Just received a call from the tech inspector who said he will check my car at the track 8 to 9am so all go. Also tinkered on the dyno with cam gears and more yesterday and now makes 384rwkw 23psi and 200rwkw at 3400rpm. Car weighs a bit over 1400kg estimated and has 4.4 ratio diff and running 305 wide slicks, circuit racing type so not best and will be the handicap.

Get it out of the hole okay and you're a shoe-in for 11's, Johnny! Underestimate straightlining and you're a shoe-in for 14's !! ;)

384 is nice and all but for me the best bit is the 200kw a 3400rpm, that is some serious low down power... Nice work John.

Wow with that amount of power surely you'd be able to make a bold statement or two? That's way more power than any of us are making, and a better ratio than the 4.11's the 'Lines are using.

I'm up for a grudge match in my humble little standard GTS, I'll go as far to say 2 out of 3 races I'll have ya!

If it rains and the event is cancelled we'll be given the next available Saturday wsid has ;) but it wont rain

fcuk you drag boyz are soft, everyone knows the track is most fun when it is wet!

FFS Pete used to do rain dances before track days!

WTF is wrong with you people?

I am a bloody goose and the only person who mentioned the date!!!

Grrr!!!

just out of curiousity what is the average power for those who are attending tomorrow's event???

Ummm no.................

stuff it hahaha if anyones thinking of coming to watch, race, run nude, cheer or make love to me they wont be allowed in unless they're racing or pit crew of someone thats racing and on the list that will be at the gate ie not on list no entry as they're allowing no spectators

and BTW lets be clear the bretts not being the bastard here, he has been given *very* clear instructions from the track :D if we can make this day a success we may be allowed to have more club members along this time

Well, all incidents aside that was a bloody awesome day.

I can't wait for the next one.... a million thanks to Brett the Buster the man for organising it.

How'd the results go?

I only ran twice, 12.9 sec and 12.5 sec, didnt get the chance to strip the car out or even put the boost up before trouble struck. Also drove the red RX7 to 13.1 sec :D

Well this was the first time I've dressed in drag and you know I've been on the right track before, excuse the pun Dino. At the moment the mighty stock green machine is awaiting diagnosis so watch this space could be major could be minor but I never like to take a chance on these things.

I went, I had fun smacking all these Skylines. Did not even think of falling asleep it was actually fun. Not as much as 2rismo though he was on fire. First time for me. Shot my mouth off, educated experienced to some extent might add.saying " Should do a 11 sec " Missed first run did a 12.18 wheel spinning all the way. Later did a 11.56 130mph. They say this is fast but I don't know. I think 10 seconds is where it is at. It was faster than all the Skylines though or should I not mention this, he he.

Word is next big show down is Wed night drags 10th Nov. Going to be a big Zed turnout so plenty of contenders. Lets do a Zed Skyline Challenge this night? Yes I will be there with the slot car with a few more tweaks. Maybe get some of the big guns out. Any GTR's that beat me can turn off there front wheel drive and we party and see. No not fair, OK we run anyway.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
