May just move in with my brother and pick up a casual job for a few months so i can at least do some touring around Vic:)

Get ready to change that sig of yours to...

"Roys 32 is to Motorsport what C&C Music Factory is to Dance Music

:)

All right then, the count is 3 x R32 GTSTs:) One powered by RB26, one powered by TD06, and the last one powered by a loose nut behind the wheel:)

...i'm taking the camera so i can put it on the forums :(

LOL...i dont think you were even there, so doubt you would have any incriminating footage of me.:)

..and believe me, some of my loses got the whole "ooohhh...aaahhhhh!!!":) ... sadly for all the wrong reasons:(

lol did u have fun tho?

i got 3/4 of the way to calder and then josie threw up.... so then had to drive all the way back again... poor daewoo... all that distance and no break other than pulling over while she threw up for 5 minutes lol

Yeh it was, but i didnt enjoy it near as much as a trackday where you balance the car and carry as much corner speed that when you get it right you get the shakes:)

I got into some trouble trying to hike the thing thru in 3rd gear with plenty of corner speed and using angle to slow the car up...it was just too hard:( 2nd gear and slower corner speeds was much easier to control.

Hope Josie is feeling better:cheers:

Oh and some photos are required, i need on egood pic of the car torching the tyres to be sure it was worth the pain:(

Dont tell me you banged it up Roy...

Nah just some black from the tyres and the smallest of kinks in the panel that needs re-spraying form the Winton thing anyway.

Those tyres of yours were completely woefull, the car walked around all the way thru 3rd gear which at least made the car easy to turn into corners with the semis on front:thumbsup:

It was funny, carrying what i though was a fair whack of speed under the bridge sideways, if the car hit the rev limiter it really upset the cars balance. A few times it bit me:) Ppl with more of an idea then me probably could have handle it:(

your car sounds mental dude, gotta love the gate

LOl..thanks, where you driving or watching. Should have come up and said hello if you think you knew who i was:)

Thats the only thing going for my car at the moment, its pulling strong and sounding trick:)

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
