Goran was in it last year, and he shutup a few of the bogans when he let the wheels rip after some smart ass comments so i was told. but there wont be many there, jap cars really aren't well received at the nats, and the ones that go run a risk of having their cars damaged, read: brake fluid in water pistols, sprayed on the paint.

but i'll be there with bells on, if i still have my R33 by then it will be staying at home for that week, cops go crazy defecting us and i really dont want the hassle.

I know of one BIG hitter that may be ready in time(read:2.7l RB26DETT,T51R,blue bottle in the boot...).That WILL tear the backside out of all challengers,I do believe.But I agree with Sinista32:AutoSalon and the Jamboree is our thing,really.I'm partial to anything that's "got nuts"(from a '55 Chev to a Series 8 RX7;anything goes as long as it GOES),but the 'Nats are really L.C.D.-Lowest Common Denominator- when it comes to respect,I.Q. and understanding of tough cars...Sure,a 1000hp Commonwhore is impressive on the dyno.It'd be way more impressive if you could drive it every day,turn laps around a track in good time,have it turn-key reliable AND have it legally on the road...THAT'S why I love 'Lines!!

I can you all now i'll be there for at least the weekend, but my car won't. i hardly think it's worthy, being completely stock and no one knows what the heclk it is.

Should be a good weekend though, plenty of nice cars, and braddon will be chockers afterwards.

I'll be there again. Hopefully the cops are a bit more relaxed on Braddon as the Nats at the beginning of this year was disappointing compared with the year before.

I seen about 20 Skylines last year but I go to the Nats for the throaty v8 burnouts and the women (all 3 of them that showed their tits last year haha).

Hopefully the weather is nice and not too hot. I might take my work van, throw a mattress in the back and sleep in that.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
