Let me know asap if there's still a place for me and i'll eft the cash to you straight away.

btw, i'll be doing a trackday at Wakefield the day before (fri 5th jan) so if any of u guys r keen on some track work u should come along - it's an open track day. I'll be staying at wakefield on-site accom on the thurs night.

All people attending please meet at the driver training room opposite the medical centre at 8:45am SHARP! Entrance at gate 7.

Tire pressures should be set no lower than 32psi(mine is 36psi all the time)

Check oil,water and fuel levels are correct.

Casual clothing with regard to weather conditions.When its hot at the creek its really hot.And when its cold its really cold.

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.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.

      I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, that and throwing away opened, part used, closed back up bottles has got to be bullshit. Brake fluid sits in not-very-well sealed master cylinder reservoirs for literal years and keeps working (albeit we know we should flush it every couple of years - it actually still works). Anything kept in a bottle in the shed with a tightly capped lid has got to be a million times better than what has been in the car for the same length of time.

      Wait, they're claiming UNOPENED fluid has a shelf life of only 18 months?
