I went to the Brock driver training day today and had a blast! (well that was until my car started pinging, so benny turned down the boost and it was sweet again)

I learnt so much I cant even begin to describe it, even though I dodnt learn heel toeing, I still did ok. The laps I do by myself on the track where completely exhilarating, my hands are still shaking from it, the only reason I pitted is cos my brakes were smoking.....

So Ill be out there helping fly the wang banner after I get my car a bit more track worthy - need brakes, radiator and fuel pump, maybe front and dumps (at very least) b4 I hit the track again

All I gotta say is........

BRING IT AWN AGAIN!!!!!

^^^Well least you didnt run out of fuel halfway through like I did biotch LOL, and Benny's take on the "Hot Lap," holy !((^@)&$)&!@#^)$&@)&$)!& :skull: :skull: :skull: :skull: that was when I realized what the car could do in the right hands! Needless to say all further power upgrades stay in the box until I learn how to drive the car properly as the engine stands now! :coffee:

actually the brock part of it was a rip off, basically he came out at lunch and did a speech, "life is like a box of chocalates blah blah blah" but he had good instructors, paul stokel, damien white, and a few others, laps wise as many as you want, you just have to pit every 3-4 laps

basics dude,

FMIC, exhaust, clutch, flywheel, boost controller, pod filter, CAI, turbo timer, engine dampers, powerfc

track was sandown

Awesome! Some semi slicks and Dampers will work wonder!

I don't think you need too much of a cooling unless you are laping more then 10 laps at one time.

Try better coolant and engine oil, that help heaps!

As for the brakes, MUST!

Let me know when you are going out again, I'll come and join you.

Cheers,

VITZ

      Wheel refurb?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
