Ok.. its getting close..

Is anybody going to be at station peer around 8pm? If so i'll go down there and meet on the way to calder.. otherwise I will just go straight to calder and call somebody from there and see whether i can meet up with ppl.

I'd go earlier, but I don't get home till 6pm or so anyway.

I'm sure there could be a possible meet afterwards and/or cruise for those that can't/don't want to go to calder... would be around 11pm.

Where was everybody??!

Made it to Station Peer (no.3 basically where the Able Tasman was) about 7:30-7-45pm and there was nobody other skylines! Waited around and had a bit of a look, but still no skylines. Horus turned up, and we had a bit of a drink and things. Phat32 turned up at around 8:30pm and then Myself, phat32, and Horus cruised to calder.

Got to calder about 9 (bit late!), saw a bunch of cars run. Met Hotsky and ?? (are your mates on here?). Mostly supercharged cortinas, toranas, and the like.. although a couple of R33 GTR run 11's. Went to the city, lost phat32 due to parking issues (kinda busy being GP weekend) and ended up at Pug Mahones, where vickii met us bit later.. So we stayed there till 2 after a few drinks and went home.

Overall pretty good night.. no major dramas... although i cracked the hell outta my front bar at calder (time for a bit of a fibreglass repair jobby) when the ground jumped out at me.

I think next time we just need to co-ordinate exact times and things so people can meet up a bit better and have a more defined plan.

nah my mates arent on here at all, one guy bruce(the more talkative one about carshehe) drives a torana, and the other cuy clinton just drives me nuts(no car)

was a pretty good night at the track(best part was meeting a few peeps) didnt catch up with others in city aftrer, phat32 was gonna ring me, but i was 3/4 home when i got a surprise call from MILK lol oh well its all good

yeah..none of the skylines that I saw seemed to be flat shifting.. the changes were sloppy and visible.

Next one is 17th - If my car is running decent again by then might take it down the strip and see how much I can **** up a launch.. hehe

There were quite a few that got under the 10's but most were pretty serious drag-only cars.

il b etheer with u if ur taking it on the 17th

i wanna try break 13's with a stock car.. no boost either.. so friken close last time

speaking of stuffing take offs.. haha cant beat me. i got a 17.9 and stalked it.. ahhaha .. very first time i lined up. i was against a big V8 with no exhaust and shit my elf when he took offf ahhh welll

hopefully i can beat 14.015 and break 13's then il be happy

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
