Hey guys was out at the nats on the weekend and saw some pretty impressive skylines, most of which were showing the v8 boys a thing or two

was wondering if any1 had any pics to post

Did anyone get any hassles from the boys in blue?

we stood out the front and watched even the most standard of cars gettin defected for the hell of it. cars were just cruising out and gettin pulled over

Kind of discouraging us by doing the right thing and doing it on the track, not the streets.

Yeah the last standing skyline was my mates R33, its silver with black bonnet. It was a last minute decision to enter it glad we did though. We just got it back from JPC in thomastown pretty happy with the result dynoed at 310rwkw on 17psi only problem was we bought one of those cheap OBX regulators, it was shit so just bought a sard one and we r going back for a another tune. We were told that with all the mods we have including internals he reckons we'll get 370rwkw on pump fuel. The last run we had the tyre pressure was on 14psi so too much wheel spin, and didn't have a tyre pressure gauge so stuffed up. But next year it would be better if more imports came along but considering their was only probably 10% imports the skylines did really well.

Is it the non bug eye WRX with the carbon fibre bonnet scoop?

I saw that today, it was mint. I will be around the outside pits near a blue HQ Statesman, green rodeo on airbags and a yellow corrolla and I will be wearing a yellow officials vest. Come and grab me and i'll take some photos.

Cheers

James

yea saw it on the news just then as they (the guys whos car cought fire) is complaing it took to long to put out 4min responce time.

i say why didn't you have fire exstingusher (i cant spell) and why didn't you go over the car before it hit the track. now he might have done these things and yes these things do happen.

I was in ma mates VL. Man that lil GSR boogies. And the white r33 with stockies ono the back WOW that had some balls. Was good weekend. Just wish the drift was a bit more governed to DRIFT not jsut demo's.

yeah we figured as such so didnt bother taking any of the cars down there.... if they get their shit together we would consider bringing some decent drift cars.

    • Omg Brake pedal removal.. FML!!
    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
