No plans to register it at this stage, I guess you'll just have to bring yours out to the track  :(

well depends on which form of motorsport you're talking about. if it involves taking corners as sideways as possible, i'll pass. i prefer a much more pure, talent-orientated and satisfying form of driving, just quietly! :P hehehe

the plan is to take her to wakefield in the near future! pretty strapped for the folding stuff at the mo and i'm barreled up at work lots, but one day... sooner rahter than later with any luck...

of course you would say that you have a gtr unless you have some massive power i would imagine they would not be the greatest drift cars the way i see it

gtr = great track car

gts-t = great drift car

i am sure nik or someone will say i am wrong but i guess while you have all 4 wheels having some traction it would be better leaving the drift to the rwd's :(

well, that may be so- the gtr is a wonderful track car (although still driftable with the right setup), but thats beside the point! even if i owned a gtst, ae86, s13, cefiro... whatever... i'd still be out there cutting lap times, not measuring my driving skill in how much of an angle i am through the next corner! not that hanging the tail out isn't fun... just not my preferred method of getting from point to point.

Damn straight :(

GTR in AWD mode kicks sideways very easily, pop the fuse and youve got instant 2WD.

But yeah I agree, there are a few drift GTR's but theyre more a circuit/touring oriented car, and I also agree leave the drift to the full time only got half a driving car RWD boys ;)

wow :( hehe j/ks i know that you can pull the fuse on the 32's but i am talking about the proper gtrs eg the 33 and 34 those you have to do a bit more to get them into rwd isnt it just pulling the drive shaft out or something of the front but yes my main point is if you car is awd its already more suited to the track use it for that.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
