Thanks for a fantastic day guys, you run a damn fine day and I can't wait to go back and give it another go.

It was a huge challenge running against your cars.

I reckon the battles in the afternoon were a hoot, I think it would be better than 'knock out'. It was cool with everyone lining up their own little battles with each other.

Thanks for making feel welcome.

Greg, silver MX5.

Also Juz... I had breakfast at Tiffany's this morning :D

I'm sooooo Jealous, I want breakfast at Tiffany's and everything else from Tiffany's. Next year I'm expecting you'll hook Dane up so I can enjoy some of these swish events!

As the only girl who drank 2 - I feel like I should get something dammit!!!

Bec I didn't realise you drank two aswell, great effort.

And Snowy you know how much I loved the last three runs of the day. Well the neck busta has busted my neck!

Yesterday I went to work and couldn't look left so I went to an osteopath who told me I need to where this stoopid neck brace and lay down flat for two days. Hence why I haven't been able to even see the results till now.

The weekend was still worth it but I look like a cripple!!

Also I prefer the timed runs rather than the knockouts.

I'm going back to bed now.

Who's Gonna Host Them?

They are coming out of my Laptop thick an fast now!

I think around 200 mb should be enough

When I get back from Uni, I'll set up an FTP for the vids, I'll send you a PM when it's done.

darkeh, speaking of uni, are you at latrobe bundoora?

aaaand... my hunt for the elusive DV cable should conclude today with a trip to jaycar. so vids forthcoming. Now if only I can work the soundtrack to collin mcrae rally into the video.

just put some classical music in there :D

whose kakimoto widebody 33 is that? awesome

If you mean the red thing with puffy guards and badly slipping clutch :confused: .. that was me.

I ended up stuffing the clutch so bad on my first skidpan run that we had trouble even getting up to 80 km/h on the drive home, it took a lot longer to get back home than on the drive up there that morning.

According to the results I still managed 3rd fastest overall on my next run using reduced throttle with the clutch slipping badly - I was only beaten by an R34 GTR and an R33 GTR, so it would have been nice to get a shot at the other events too.

Next time I will have a good clutch, new rear tyres and maybe even switch on the boost controller - I am really looking forward to it.

    • Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.
    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
