A great day and a good learning experience for any Skyline owner. Find out your limitations and those of your car in a controlled environment. Also, letting us all loose was like a free grab in a candy store!! Highly recommended and maybe something the SAU-Qld would be interested in??

Touche! I was sooooo glad I could fix it on the spot and drive home. Wife was staring daggers at me. That is, once she noticed I had stopped..... just sitting there reading a book while her brave husband did battle on the ashphalt!

I really like this photo Gordo

To me it is a whimsical esoteric statement on mans inhumanity to man!

The juxtaposition of the metal and green light versus the blue sky, shows how nature in all it's glory has succumbed to the intervention of the industrial age.

You know, I was thinking nearly exactly the same thing. I was subtely hinting that the green of the stop light represents man's need to move forward through the use of industry and modern tools - and in fact the "traffic light" some may use as a valid icon to represent this age. "stop"... "go" .. just which are we in this daily battle?

The clounds in the background symobolise the fear and unrest that this struggle can cause whilst trying to move humanity forward, against the backdrop of nature and the blue sky of hope and opportunity.

(that and it was a random photo)

Man, why didn't we both get a bachelor of arts and sit around doing nothing all day!?

Hey guys, glad you had a top time at track day. Go a bit easy on me and my dinged front guard. I've got a replacement but it is black and needs painting. I will get to it once the engine is running properly. I have now organised 3 track days at QR an driven 7 laps in total. (grumble).

Next Track Day is booked for the morning of May 9, I already have 20 something people with reserved spots. If your keen to join us send me a PM with your email address.

As I have always said, You can never have enough Skylines at a Track Day !!!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
