oh well....

I will definatly be there.... so please don't knock me off the list... just the rest of the crew won't have their cars ready till the end of march...

I'll come down twice.... so maybe we'll just have to organise a cruise saturday night which will be the 29th of March....

what do you think guys???

i'll try to get Jay excited about rebuilding the 180.

we ripped it down the other day and although there is some dissagreement in the party.... I think we will just get away with a hone and a new piston...

actually if you want to check out the photo's of jays piston check out the Wasteland... squizzmobile in hospital/Spank HQ and check out page 55... i think.... it's around there anyway...

it did do a nasty job of destroying the piston....

anyway slip... it looks like it will be just my car in the skid pan day... and I am still really really really looking forward to it....

we'll still bring the crew down sometime... probably on the 29th if you can get some sort of cruise happening it would be awsome...

Ouch, cheap shot :)

Dunno how it'll affect times around Mt Cotton (probably slower, more dorifto!) but the suspension should stop 'incidents' like the one on the way out of Gary's place (tandem drift over the crest of a hill) from being quite so bloody scary... by the way, did Gary tell you his exchange students this time are two 21yo French girls?

/me waits for 'ooh la la' comment :D

I'm from the gold coast and intend on gettin a skyline within the next year (still at uni atm). Got directed here by iNark (mate of mine from melb) who's a bit of a regular. So far the forums have been really helpful and I'd love to come along and check out the qld crew goin nuts and meet some of you :)

Be great if it was March 2, got nothing planned that weekend. So yeh, hopefully me + 1 or 2 mates will come up and have a look once its all confirmed.

    • Nah, nothing formal, just open track days. Mostly small and tight circuits but I would like to get back out to Eastern Creek at some stage.
    • What type of track driving will you be doing?  Do you have a set of class rules you need to abide by that will limit your rim / tyre width?
    • I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?
    • Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".
    • hello wanted some insight on what my problem could be so i swapped a RB26DETT into my r33 gtst used a R33 GTR engine harness and im using a haltech platinum pro. The car cranks but no start the ecu isn’t getting any power now im trying to find out why i cant seem to find any schematics  or diagram for the engine harness for the r33 gtr anything helps thank you.
