Wow what a great day ! Totally different to what I was expecting and turned out to be a good experience (even when sitting on the sideline).

Unfortunately the 127 pictures that i took weren't the best because i only have 3x Optical Zoom.

They can be view at http://skylines.pnc.com.au

Like Ben said - what a great day ! Big pat on the back to Pete (fatz) bloody good day mate.

Spewing chunks that I didn't get to drive today.....Major chunks.

Last time I came to EC track day, I couldn't run then either, which again, pissed me off even more..... Damn moddified cars.....

For those interested - I thought I had fouled plugs cause I was stalling, farked idle, no power etc on the way up to the creek - but I limped in..... ( Background: had new fuel pressure reg fitted during the week , plus moved the BOV to plumb back position, and new ECU tune...) Got home ready to take the plugs out to check the damage, found small oils splotches in the engine bay - all over the place - like small amounts of oil was being sprayed everywhere - I was al ready to take all the plugs out to see if I could reserect anything - Anyhow , I think what happened is that there is either (a) Too much oil being shot thru from the turbo and/or (B) there is an intercooler pipe leak somewhere.... Hopefully not too serious....

Next time Ii am bringing a hire car are backup ..... Fark Fark and double fark !!!

Pics and Videos posted soon !!!

Play of the day goes to Duncan , who on a $money$ lap came a bit unstuck and collected a hat ! I got evidence bud !! he he

Apart from my misfortune - a bloody top day. Bring on the next one.

(Damn sunburnt tho)...

Cheers !!!

Oh..man...sprung again...twice in 4 days!

That was a top day, we have to make it a regular event.

For once I'm happy that photos don't tell the whole story!

As for that whitches hat, I think I just took the apex a tiny bit too close :( pretty sure it was a good lap apart from that small prob!

      Welcome. This is not really true. We have a whole forum here just for the NA shitboxen. And they are not very different from the turbo shitboxen. Just weaker brakes and gearboxes, and no LSD, for the most part.

      I'm pretty sure it has an 040 in it @Duncan Also reading up, that turbo should top out at 250 as you first thought. It will be interesting to see how early it chokes due to the changes in the head too

      Yeah confirmed they are Nismo 555s, found the boxes in the spares with the factory injectors in. Yeah the AAC has been relocated to allow reuse of the factory brake booster line, and yes confirmed it has a 1 way valve in it. Unfortunately the one on the car is cracked, I'll need to replace it. Pretty sure I've got all the AAC plumbing correct in my previous post, but I am going to source some new fittings with 90o angles to help with the hose routing and also one really specific moulded shape for the AAC intake to cold start hose (will raid the back of our local repco when I get a chance and work out some combo that works) One of the big things I learned in the GTR is you need to be able to get your hands all around the bay when something goes wrong. I've done a bunch of re-routing now and it should be much more practical now. Also got the BOV mount re TIG-ed by the local engineering shop so that should be good to go now. Never got to the fuel pump because of some life stuff today, but will pull it to confirm it is suitable for 300rwkw when I get a chance

      Hello everyone, I am from Malta and have recently bought myself a fully stock 1992 Nissan Skyline GTS. It has the RB20DE engine and thus is NA. Unfortunately, not a lot of information can be found online related to the GTS, unlike the information for GTS-T and GTR variants. Apart of the Skyline, I also got a 1984 Porsche 924 2.0l NA and a 2002 Renault Clio 1.5DCi for everyday use. Excited to be apart of the community and perhaps get better information on cars such as the GTS.

      The fuel pump bracket just slides straight up.  Below is a pic I stole off a site. But basically put hand in for fuel pump, wiggle it all about a bit while pulling up.
