I wonder if we should put something out on Skylines Down Under, since this was the main site people started with before SAU started up. I used to lurk on SAU for quite a while before becomming a member, because most people were still on Skylines Down Under, and SAU was a bit like the SVD site is now.

Im still here.. John's still here..

I've been barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen most of last year.. LOL Sold my skyline ages ago, now have a 545i bmw.

John's been waiting for either

a) BOTH gtrs to be going at the SAME time.. BUT his drag car will be ready next week and he'll be drag racing in Heathcote.

b) AIR to win lotto and make a decent track that is open..

Matt R - Your car is going to be freakin quick. Is it still streetable?

Timmypimp - Don't know what happen to Brad, pretty sure he'd never sell his Torana though. Also Bugalugs lives around the corner from us, pretty sure he has sold his skyline.

Edited to add - I saw 4doorsleeper on North East Road the other day in a car park of some sort. Don't know what you were doing, looked like you were showing someone your car.:)

It was probably Di's car beeing checked out by a car yard, it's going to make room for an import 4x4 with a lot less power.

If I had have seen you I would have waved - its been ages. Are you guys comming to the Schutzenfest?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!

      Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
