Where did this happen Mark ? I must have missed it !!!!

What on earth was a cop doing in an excel anyway ???

The drive was good once we split up from the other group and went the back way. Havent driven like that for a long time. The track was good as well. Only the one cop down conrod at the very end there. Had hit the speed limiter a few laps earlier down there as well. Lucky!

Put some decent hot spots on the rotors as well, probably trying to make that corner at the end of conrod one of the first times down the mountain.

Racing around the track there has given me a seriously big itch to do some track days. Might need to imporve the car a bit first though. I was taking it very easy over blind corners and when any other traffic was around obviously. It was all good.

Neil, Are you aware how close you came to a serious accident on the mountain?

A group of us were watching you come around past us when a black silvia decides to pull out in front of you. Lucky for you he had traction problems.

Mark

Yea Mark I saw him,lucky I didn't do what I was thinking,I was gonna leave some serious rubber on the exit,,he must have taken a dis-liking to my left-hand rear 1/4. He stayed well back over the top of the mountain,,,or was that me teaching him a leason. How tight is the left-handed into the chase,,,mad 2nd gear corner that one!!!!.

I,,,We had a great time,,,,10 Skylines I think,,,we RULE. Pity I didn't hang around longer and come home with you guy's,,,I had to get out of there,,,,my right foot was getting out of control.

Neil.

I'm sorry bout the quality and the filetype. Best I could do in such a short time. I lost my copy of Adobe Premiere so was forced to use Windows Movie Maker built into windowsXP.

It goes for 12 min and shows all the cars, the cruise along the backroads to bathurst, and the full Mt Panorama track from multiple angles. I suggest you DON"T watch it full screen cos you can't tell whats happening with all the pixels. Just keep it small :P It's 9Mb.

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
