lol....yeah close call there barns...the guys behind you left a few skid marks...lol..if you know what I mean!

i got flashed by a speed camera on the way home :P I had just come out of an 80 zone into a 60 zone and was sitting at about 70.... :D Oh well I should have known better.

it was on the main road near bexley...we got a little lost on the way home you see..lol

just got to wait it out to see if it comes through

ur lucky they just reduced the fine for this offence, (if it is only 10km over) although you lose more points.

I was in my car (Grey R32) I think i was only one of a few P Platers there, unless everyone took their plates off. I got to Stanwell Tops and then one of my passengers threw up because he was "shaken up" from the drive. I dont know why he chucked his guts up, we werent even going that quick !!!????

Good too meet some new faces, Big HELLO to Daniel and Jerry and the rest of the crew that i spoke to .

hey its Daniel, :wassup:

yeah good to meet you guys too.

Nice to know that that fellow skyline owners are pretty kewl people.

Sounds like most had a good night.

It was an eventful first skylines crooooz for us.

Got pulled over just as we left Kirrawee for going into the roundabout (cnr bath rd) a bit hard.

As we were one of the ones left behind, was just trying to catch up to the others..... thats all officer, i promise... :(

Copper was really good bout it, gave me a breath test,

said that he doesn’t mind us guys getting together taking photos and stuff but we just gotta take it easy.

Also said that he’s into cars as well 'n told me that he has something that could blow this out of the water (r33 gtst)..... hmmmm.

didn’t really wanna push my luck, so I didn’t ask him what it was!

then on the way into the nasho, got a flat on my front left.

so had to get the good ol' space saver out and limp all the way to the lookout and back.

Thanks to those who stopped to help... BiZzReVhEad + gts4.

On the way out had to pull over a few times to let people past me.

Thanks also to those that slowed down to see why i pulled over... sorry dont know ure forum names???

Props to Moanie for her 'fully sick' organisational skills... neva doubted ya

even when it we were at p6d - 8:45pm Homebush and only a few lines were there!

All good in the end!

:D

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
