cheque book racers.

Jealous much? :D

This is by far the most stupid comment I have ever seen on an online forum. Congratulations.

Until you have an R34 GTR than can run a 10.81 @ 136mph, I suggest you keep your comments to yourself, because all you're doing is coming across as a jealous prick, who can't give praise where it's deserved.

Who gives a flying f u c k whether Jason whipped out the tools himself and fabricated his own driveshafts... He's got the resources to pay someone with the knowledge to do this, and instead focuses on doing what he CAN do, which is his job.

Just because you don't have the engineering background to do everything yourself, does that preclude you from having a fast car?

Do us all a favour and STFU.

XCUZME: Merlis right on this one mate - That is a seriously foolish comment.

All you are doing is critisising someone who is successful in what they do and is lucky enough to have enough $$ to pursue his passion.

When you have the knowledge to personally build a car of this calibre then you might have some justification for your comment, but for the moment, standing back and yelling "cheque book racer" to someone like Jason just screams jelousy :uh-huh:

I know if i had the money, id sooner pay a professional to engineer and build an R34GTR for me than try and do the work myself, thats just common sense.

Personally I would have saved the plates and stickers until I ran a 9 second pass. Sticking them on the car now is a bit like opening your presents the day before your birthday. But I have little doubt that car will end up in the 9's eventually, I just hope that it doesn't get turned into a full on drag car to do it.

YLWGTR has it spot on though, there are better drag cars than the GT-R and the best place for a GT-R is pounding around a circuit. If I spent that much on a GT-R it probably wouldn't get into the 10's down the strip, maybe the 1'40"s around Philip Island though.

I hate it when people use that lame line, imagine if every time someone criticised John Howard he said "Until you are elected as Prime Minister keep your comments to yourself" nobody is beyond criticism as nobody is perfect, but I agreed with the other stuff you said.

I too, would have saved those plates and stickers until the car has run a 9 second pass. But the car ran a 10 second pass on it's first drag meet, with it's STAGE 1 MOTOR... Lets give credit where credit's due.

And although I agree that the line "Until you have an R34 GTR than can run a 10.81 @ 136mph, I suggest you keep your comments to yourself" is infuriating, this is only the case because it's true. I'd say that only a handful (if that) of us would have the resources to undertake such a project as getting a lard-ass R34 GTR down the strip in the 10 second bracket in full street trim.

It just seems to me that too many people are putting in their $0.02 where they have no experience and no basis for their comments, other than watching others do what they cannot do, or cannot afford to do. That too, is infuriating.

Cliff notes: It's a beautiful car. I'd love to own it. I'd love to drive it. And believe it or not, so would all of you who bagged it and/or it's owner.

It is not and never will be true. It is a throwaway line that "plays the man and not the ball". Personal attacks are cheap shots and should always be treated with contempt. I just thought it was a shame you detracted from your other insightful comments by saying it. It brings you down to the level of the original poster's "cheque book racer" comment

It's not a personal "attack" at all.

All it is saying is "If you don't have the knowledge or the experience, shut the fu ck up."

Whoops silly me, I thought this was a forum full of support for fellow owners and enthusiasts, What? It is? Oh ok then I had better lock this thread then as to not detract from the other more appropiate lines of conversation we have on offer. Like for example PM's and the like.

Have fun chaps,

Toodle-Pip.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
