Paul are you all G'd up for sat?

I'll be there but only watching as i know our car would spit a gear box if we push it much harder.

Also whats the Quickest time you have run so far? I'm sure that will get slashed on sat though.

Cheers

gotta instal a tailshaft loop...WTF...these ANDRA tech inspectors are starting to p1ss me off. Not g'd up...absolutely exhausted from prepping car. Quickest time...ive never driven the car so the quickest time will be easy to beat.

The one you told me about at Powercruise

yeah we got dudded...Stace picked up the box yesterday, brought it to the workshop. Guess what we found inside when we split the case.....the most thrashed STANDARD R32 GTR box ive ever seen (besides the one i smashed at the creek)...third gear had nearly every second tooth chipped and second wasnt too crash hot either. NOT HAPPY JAN!

So in true "team twoogle" DIRTgarage style we built ourselves a semi-decent..(if there is such a thing) std box out of the parts we had available. Hell we even have a reverse gear now.

    • Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.
    • I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you. 
    • Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.
    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
