LOL no shite i was gonna say no your weren't cos i was with the Boostworx Red rx7, but then rememberd seing another one out there! How'd ya go? there were some decent cars out there on Sat!

Yeah I probably should of said red FC :) I was just in day lic section. Was good day last time I was out there had slight overheating issue but hopefully fixed that now hard to say though because it was alot colder than last time. Was only my 2nd time out there still working out a few things but had a mate do dodgy lap time and said I was doing 1:28's still room for improvement but need more upgrades and $$$ now :thumbsup: Some very decent cars out there!! What happened to the boostworx RX7?? Saw him stop on track then came in with front end damage or was that already there??

Yeh Shaun from Boostworx sold his rx7 to my mates(who was running the blue Celica) uncle, It was his first time in the car and turn 2 bite him hard dents all down the drivers side and the front end damage, car was all good apart from the cosmetic damage, He ended up doing mid 1:20's by the end of the day, Shaun used to run 1:17's so he's doing alright for his first time! Were(Celica, Rx7, 808 and a few other IPRA cars) all off to Sandown in about 3 weeks, so looking forward to that!

Prob see you out there sometime!!

Yeah damage looked pretty bad but at least it was nothing major. Hopefully get out there again next practice but I dont know funds are running low and would really like to upgrade brakes before I go out again discs are pretty farked, but the bug has bitten now.......HARD :thumbsup: Think there is 2 practice days next month but I have a few other commitments so may not be out again till August, unless I somehow get hold of a whole heap of $$$ now :( :(

Yeh im hearing ya, I really wanna get the Skyline out there also, but to get it upto scratch and reliable is gonna cost me some dosh! I've been spanner man for a couple of mates now for about 8 years running Sprint Karts, Superkarts, Saloon Cars and Improved Production Cars, and everyone always asks, "when are you getting out there" and i always say "money"! I just love bieng in and around motorsport and helping my mates achieve good things, and we have won alot of comps/meetings over the years and it's quite fullfilling just doing that!

    • Hey   ive gone for a terminated harness on my build so selling brand new unused and unopened piggy back harness  https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-141357-elite-2000-2500-nissan-skyline-r32-33-r34-gt-r/ Located Bathurst NSW   price $600 + postage     
    • The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.
    • Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine
