Hey fox, did the shot turn out that you took with the blood up the side of my car?

sure did.... :P

i was actually a little dissapointed with a 1'13.1.... i was quicker than the Evo's through the 1st half of the lap, but lost all my time exiting the bottom hairpin, because of my unhealthy diff, i cant get any traction through the sweeping left hander. i reckon i could drop into the 1'11's once i get my new diff. unfortunately, it wont be in time for the 8th of nov :)

well im already down to drive on the 8th, and i bloody well am!!! i have since discovered that the noise my car is making is a leaking exhaust manifold gasket. PHEW! no biggie, so that'll be taken care of next week....

Hehehe :) That photo of me mooning Luke is gold! :)

I thuoght the glare from my pastey white ass would blind him coming into turn one!

To my dismay, Luke is to good a driver to be put off by the passions of the flesh, Hehehe :)

My brakes are still stuffed, i drove my car for the first time yesterday and the pedal is still really squishy. Does this mean my brake lines have cooled while expanded and have just stayed expanded causing there to be a lack of pressure?

Leigh have you been sent that CD with the photos yet? I owe you $33!

I would say there is moisture in your lines. Do a full brake system bleed and then see how it is. I did mine before the track day and they are still feeling good :thumbsup: It's easy to do just time consuming.

Oh yea i forgot about that sweet more mullah >_< (actually if you are going to get some of them blown up we will sort something out). I just called the Oz Events and the lady said it normally takes around two weeks (god knows why doesnt she just have to dump the photos on a disk ???) However she said she is swamped at the moment and it might take another half a week on that... sooooooo looks like another 7 - 11 days before i get it. However as soon as i do i will let you and Luke know :happy:

Well our cd came in (Luke and Steve) although I think Steve and I got stooged a bit although I guess Luke did have his car on the track a lot more than us. Anyways either I can meet up with you at some stage and give it to you then or pm me or we can arrange something. Luke if you still work where I think you do i should be able to drop it up to you as I will be there on Thursday or Friday.

Anyways here are a couple I saved the rabbit one for Steve if he wants to put it up he can.

Pic 1 - Yup that’s me... Can you feel the body roll mmm :)

Pic 2 - That Luke with me as a passenger :huh:

Pic 3 - That’s Steve... oh and who’s that in the background its me :)

Just got back from the SAU NSW v SAU Vic day... here is a quick little video of Frink getting owned by a 32 GTR. In all fairness he was owning pretty much everything out there including many EVO's, GTR's, GTS-T's etc i would say from the street class he would have probably been the 3rd or 4th fastest, the quickest were 32 gtr's that were on roids lol

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • 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!
