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 !!!

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
