It was only the other day when i saw a friend a uni who is a part of Skylines Australia who claimed to see my car in the background of a photo on this site, so we checked it out. Sure enough it was my car. I was interested to read Duncan’s comments on Round five at Wakefield, suggesting we play to much GT4, :lol: (perhaps ur talking about Croft). Thats not very nice. Duncan did drive well and congrats on the 2nd place, but one would hope that his turbo charged 4WD drive skyline would bet our commodores of the line and to the finish line. If not there would be explaining to do. The Skylines that dominate our class are in a league of their own, to use an analogy its like racing a poodle vs. a greyhound, even though this is the first time Duncan finished in front of us :) .

No hard feelings Duncan, look forward to Eastern Creek. :P

Hey Michael, well done, you had a good weekend out too.

I reckon you are being too modest about the saloon cars tho, they have no trouble knocking off the v8 commodores so you must be doing something right....especially around wakefield where its nice and tight....I suspect you might run a few hundred kilos less than these bloody overweight GTRs.

Still, I love how the GTR ran, especially considering that it was its second run, I was over the moon. Not so happy about the blown motor in race 3, but thats racing, right?

As for GT4, lets face it, close racing is the best fun you can have, I just could have done without the panel damage, I thought I was back racing daewoos again. I spoke to 2 of the 3 drivers that I came together and all is fine. The 3rd driver really didn't show any courtesy to his fellow drivers but I guess every grid has their share of poeple like that, don't they?

Good luck for EC, I won't be back in time for that :) Do you reckon you will knock Phil off the top of the points table?

More pics of your car in here http://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/wp050910/wp0509101.html

I think one of the main reasons we knock of the V8s is because of technology.

Its a great class with some close racing, and your right there is always going to be some touching. What do skylines generally weigh; our cars are a minimum of 1356.

Eastern Creek should be an interesting round for us, the engine goes back into our car Saturday, we where down on power at Wakefield, she had just about had enough. But its now rebuilt because we know where going to need the speed down the long eastern creek straight. Its to bad you wont be ready in time.

I hope we catch phill in the points, thats not my only worry i have to finish in front of croft. That broken diff in the last race at WP really hurt our championship (not to mention the other diff and gearbox we smashed this year)

Anyway look forward to racing in the future

Well my whale weighs in at 1500, and our cage is pretty basic so presumably some cars might have another 50kg. And I'm no lightweight either lol

Luckily we can make some power to help make up the gap but its a bit like driving the QE2 sometimes. No wonder the brakes gave out on me the other day :)

Good luck at EC, I hope to be back for some of the other rounds like the day/night or the enduro

Hey Michael,

My car weighs in at 1620kg with me in it. ( but I'm a fat old man)

Good racing at E/C and I'm not sure , but I was told it came down to one point.

Dam I thought it was good!

Are you up for a play in the dark?

Cheers

MIB

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
