Yeah pauly, seriously, just go down, have some fun mate. Go there with an open mind, relax, try different things, and above all, have fun. No one expects you to be a pro on your first run... The whole point is going there to learn how to do it in a safe, controlled environment. I'm thinking of heading down this wednesday too. I'd be happy to run against you, considering I'm new to it too...

Really man, you got nothing to worry about. Don't listen to that Rousey/383chevy dude. The skyline/holden/ford ratio is pretty much 50/50. You'll see a LOT of Iron Masks down there...

And one blue focus. :(

Hahahahahaha

Holden Engineering design team

"We're getting creams by these ***in jap cars! they're better engineered, better build, cheaper and an assload faster!. Soon we might even lose the taxi/company car market!"

"What do you propose we do? we must improve our package"

Many weeks pass as the development team put their heads together and try to come up with a plan.........

"By joe i've got it. All we have to do it make the engines even BIGGER!. Everybody loves big engines"

keep it on topic or put it in whore town :warning:

hell man do the run youll love it i swear im the slowest turbo out there and i still have a ball

iff a few guys are gunna head down i mite just be forced to give it another go too

sooooooooo whos up for this wendsdy (2nd march)?????????

i have been there only once and there was about 3 of you pissant skyliners. we just took the shit out of yas all night with your shit jap crap cars it was good fun!

Thats pretty normal. Plenty of the Trevs are always on hand to dish out the crap, in the propper bogan way.

It just wouldn't be australia without them. It's all good.

btw you have a 383 stoker commo?

what times have you run in it mate?

erm

383chevvy is just goulash. remember goulash? well he's back... in pog form

So pauly, are you going down there this wednesday?

I'll definitely be there, if the prelude chops you, then you can race me and chop my car to make yourself feel better. It's only a stocker, so I don't mind losing to anyone... I need a baseline figure to work off before I start "da mods".

what i dont know my car is a 1.3liter

I wen't down there a few weeks ago, my first time. I was the only skyline there. I only got 3 runs, against two wrx's one was an sti and some gemini. I beat all of them.

Some tool forgot to brake at the end of the strip and went into the sand pit.

Ne way I was running high 13s with a stock r33 with exhaust and 10 psi, I was hoping for better. To much wheel spin and reaction time could have been better.

Dan the man.. Whos this 383Chevvy guy? Have you guys looked at all the posts he has made.. I dont think people like this should be posting on these forums at all.

Back onto the topic, is anyone going down to whoop arse wednesday tonight?

-

I went down. Got 4 runs in before a rider fell off his motorbike. He hurt himself, but walked away. They took AGES cleaning the track, so I left before I did a 5th. I'll scan and post the timeslip later. 16.1sec, bog stock. First time ever. I met a SAU guy... DeviousDan or something. If you're reading this dude, sorry I didn't remember your name.

Im heading down the plex probably on the 23rd March. My cars in the panel beaters as of next wednesday for nearly 2 weeks apparently. I just got a new s/s exhaust and high flow cat.. Nows a good a time as any to see what it can do i guess

didnt get to go down last nite :) apparently my mate didnt have enuff money ;) which means i think hes running scared. Ive convinced him to pencil wednesday comin up into the diary so i'll definatly be headin down this wednesday even without him. Anybody else have a good run?

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
