Thanks Dave for putting on a spectacular day. All that wild skid pan action!! Even if I had to get the GT-R towed after it died on the last 360 of the day to Grant's. With two expert mechanics at work Grant and his dad soon isolated the problem as fuel related. Some further investigation indicated that the pump was not getting power. A second check of the fuse box indicated - you guessed it - the fuse was blown!! Wish I had figured out that that out before the $140 tow...

Just for the record the quickest car their was an Mick's EVO 9 with semi slicks although the AWD could not keep up in the woooah stakes with dave showing how a FR sound be driven!!

Mick, If I can get some of that footage from you camera, that would be great. Happy to pay for the CD-R.

Anyway thanks again for a great day and to Grant for offering me his garage to get the car fixed.

Guys I will see if I can stick all the footage I have on Utube this week sometime.

I am new to u tube so I am not sure but I'll try.

Dave thanks for organizing the day. I had an absolute ball. I learned a lot about my car that I had no idea about before.

Good to see that it wasn't to serious mate. The 360 did look the stuff though.

Yeh i can safely say that was the most fun ive had with my pants on.Its amazing how much you can learn about you car in one day.Especially if i need to drift out of a rounda bout and do a 180 reverse park into a car spot. :(

    • A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!
    • I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
    • From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.
    • Good news. So it went up to 16.2 volts as per the manual then dropped to 13.6v where it maintains that voltage. The sizzling sound stopped after that. All is looking ok. Car starts up same as usual.
    • As strange as this sounds (as they are fixed back), my Bride Xero CS seats are the most comfortable seats I've used.  I vote go genuine.  The only downside I've found is on very long drives, you can't reposition your body while driving. So even though its comfy, being locked in the same position eventually becomes uncomfortable. I find myself stopping every 3 or so hours to stretch my legs on long drives.
