Well I was bored the other Wednesday night so I headed out to Willowbank to see if this CES front pipe made any difference. This was the best run of the night.

Car: 97 R33 GTST sedan

Turbo: Standard

Date: 11/04/2007

Time: 8.55pm

Track: Willowbank

Air Temp: 17 C

Track Temp: 29 C

Humidity: 87%

Reaction time: 0.522

60ft: 2.117

330ft: 5.828

660ft: 8.911

1000ft: 11.548

ET: 13.772

MPH: 101.37

So yeah, I was quite happy with that as I haven't touched a thing on the car since I went out last time except for fitting the CES front pipe and it gave me an extra couple of tenths. I am thinking about getting a set of MT drag radials on a set of 16x8 rims, I reckon I could get it down to the low 13s then, very happy with that considering the level of power mods I have.

Went to the QLD SAU Dyno day held at Godzilla Motorsports. A few weeks ago now I blew my turbo at a track day at QLD raceway. I tracked down a second hand R34 turbo, its a little noisy but will do the job for a while. The car pulled a fairly healthy number considering the power mods of full exhaust with cat, k&n panel filter, 10psi, stock R34 turbo.

Yeah, the turbo was a pain but the R34 turbo has definately made the car feel a little stronger, will see for sure next time I get out to Willowbank.

Went to an all day track day at Queesland Raceway on Tuesday (26/06/07), was a bit of fun being a very wet day. Was a bit of a mistake leaving the RE55s on but I was too lazy to go back to my street tyres. Semis definately don't like standing water. . . .

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
