Well if the rain holds up tomorrow for them as it did today,

then they can lay the rest of the track(only back straight to old hairpin).

If it does rain then 10/11th is a no go :(

So hopefully tomorrow afternoon/friday morning they call back with some good news :(

If it is all good can you put my name down Steve :(

Jeez I hope its all done! Really looking forward to this!

Also, I know these things can be unpredictable, but I have to ask.. Am I likely to cause serious mechanical damage to my car by participating? I know these kinds of events place a lot of strain on components in the car, but I really wanna do this.. the car is in pretty good shape at the moment so I don't think it will..

what do you guys reckon?

Im still gunna participate regardless of opinion as I have been waiting for ages to get into the sport, but I would like to know what you all think..

remove any low front spoiler or else it will get torn off!!!

Mechanical damage.

There are too many variables to say for sure, mods, power, how you drive etc. Having said that, I have never had a problem with either my skyline (which was puttind down over 300rwkw) or my sil, which is putting down alot less :huh:

As precaustion its always a good idea to make sure your car has had an oil change, and put in new spark plugs, make sure your radiator is topped up too. Dont overboost your car, use good fuel and you should be fine.

And if your car is slammed, and it has a big off you 'may' do some body kit damage.

If you just push your car enough that you feel comfortable with it, you shouldnt have too many dramas. Most big offs seem to happen when people start really nudging the envelope, that I have seen anyways

totally not cool...

how unprofessional is all this... and steve or Her32 im not blaming you guys..

but the collie tracks planned re-do was organised and spoken of along time ago..

you would think with events and plans made they would have rushed it and got it done in time..

ah well... :D

    • 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.
