A few of us are heading out to Wakefield for some track time on Friday if anyone is keen. Jayce will be bringing the R32 and I will have the S15 as per usual. Its an Open Practise Day so not competitive just a chance to drive your car like you want to in a safe environment and free from the Police.

Meet at 7:30 at Shell servo near Exhibition Park.

Let me know if you need any more info.

As Camma said,I'm going along for a quiet lap or three...Actually,it may not be so quiet;anyone remember my 32 before it had the road legal exhaust fitted? Maybe,just maybe,I might have the full Nismo system on it come Friday...Anyone want blown eardrums?!?

id come if sum1 wants to take me?? :) jayce...pleaaasssseeeee

Sorry Gus-mo,but I'll only be there for 1/2 of the day,and it's too much arsing about organising passengers...

Im tempted to come just to hear that exhaust again... oh how so damn good it sounded

Yep,it's something else! Nik's one of the lucky few to hear said exhaust note...and still be able to hear afterwards!

R31_silo2 if you want a lift just let me know 0407 202 348. I will be out there for most of the day (unless it rains in the arvo).

I hope you change exhausts Jayce, sounds like I am missing out! :D I was going to do my usual trick of changing tyres out there but might chuck the semi's on tonight.

No worries Gus. Thanks for taking the pics.

Was a pretty good run with Jayce and I rounding up most of the cars out there. I just want the owner of the R33 GTR to give me a steer.

We will be out again on 21st October with a few more cars.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
