Looking good Ryan!

nice......good to see about 4 of us have done this with an M35 in Aus now! 2 Ar-X's 2 RX's!

.....looks like your catching the rear in places and understeer before the apex other places! or am I reading into in what my experiences were on Nankangs!...lolz

Nah I softed out Leon. It's got a big banana shaped straight where I probably should have hit speed cut. Every time I lifted my foot at some point through it just because I had no confidence in the car after a couple of earlier... umm... mishaps. Main thing for me was driving within my limits, first time out there, and in the first session had a spin and a minor overshoot. Would rather back off and be able to drive home than go 10/10ths and need to call a tow truck...

Highest I saw on the speedo (when I had time to look!) was 150-160.

This should give you an idea:

How did you find the grip out there? In my 180SX I found it really slippery! I came out of turn 3 and easily wound it off the clock before turn 4 and turning into turn 4 the car just started sliding towards the outside of the corner and got scary real quick. Turn 4 is actually a difficult corner with the amount of speed that can easily be carried into it.

Out around turn 4 I found fine. Shannons Nationals had been through the day before, and the track was well rubbered in. Should see the amount picked up by my tyres!

I should also add someone had gone straight on after turn 4 and hit the wall, and the two big black tyre marks heading off the road certainly was interesting...

I found the turn 1-2 combo the most interesting. Significantly harder than it looks!

You should join up and take the 180SX out next time!

I currently have it apart fitting up a Kinugawa TD06SL2-20G 8cm T3 flanged external gate turbo to it and hopefully a set of ID1000 injectors to replace the current 740's. Just waiting for a mate to make the high mount manifold and for me to decide on either the 38mm or 44mm Tial waste gate. Looking to get 300rwkw on pump.

Once its done I want to do some hill climbs and a few grip days.

Nope, you're right Craig. Treadbars ftw! :-P

Needs moar grip.

Dom - you going to come out when yours turns up?

Ermm... hadn't planned on it but I suppose anything is possible. My plans for the car arent huge; full exhaust and bigger wheels and possibly a set of sways front and back. The intent is for a nice tourer for the Mrs to drive around in and lug around all the baby gear too.

See what happens, I guess :)

P.S. - Could actually have it as soon as the end of the week, if all goes well with compliance :banana:

"Just got a pic of the 25G @ 118kph on Freeway.

Lucky its in my name as 19yo is still on one point bond till end of May"

I got on of those when they put the new camera's up on the M1 just north of beenleigh.

110 in 100. I'm even in the process of moving over and speeding up to overtake the ute in front.

Oh wells, my first aerial photo :D

Yep, I had no idea they were there, signs weren't even up yet I am sure of it. No excuse to be speeding though.

On my way home tonight, after doing full oil service on everything in the stagea - I was on the M1 far right lane doing 116km/h and slowly overtaking a car. I noticed a car with foggies coming up my arse from a distance, and the car next to me is now trying to match my speed.

So to be nice to the car coming quick from behind (ewww) i sped up to 130km/h to overtake the car next to me and then slowed back to 116kmh (no brakes). As i pulled into 3rd right lane, the car overtook me. It was a marked highway patrol ford ute. Maybe he had bigger fish to fry, or understood i simply sped up to let him get pass. I was surprised and impressed none the less. Maybe a bright yellow brick isn't that noticeable....

i was looking at getting a yellow one as i love this color on the stagea but went with plane old silver so i didn't stick out :whistling:

Jez, If the foggies were on wasn't the copper breaking the law?

Pretty sure now in QLD you can't drive with your fog lights on without fog?

Someone arrest that man!

    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
    • It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
