not sure on PI in november but I'll be doing something somewhere with it! probably will do as many days at oran park and mainly just looking forward to it being a bit more of a friendly street car. at the moment is super low, has race bucket, is loud, has 2way that chirps everywhere, clutch rattles like fark and is either on or off so take offs often involve a 'little' wheel spin. no AC etc. once those things are fixed it will me more enjoyable to drive for sure. ;)

I'll be headed down to brisbane from townsville at the end of the year.

Morgan Park, QR, lakeside.... I can't wait

Forgot to add: my 180

RB25DET neo

324mm gtr discs with R33 gtst calipers, slotted rears with Hawke HT-10s in the mail

GT3076 split rear housing as a paper weight waiting on my exhaust manifold

Hopefully a greddy intake and 800cc injectors and some new shocks by the time I'm in brisbane.

Nice mate. Who is making the manifold for you twin scroll 76?

makes me miss my car... :blush:

Is that similar to the ride height you were running with the DMS? You are a good 15-20mm lower then me

I'm running F 345 R 335 on the street(soon to be track hopefully!) and it feels a lot better than it did with the front at 320, rear at 280... I have been recommended to go another 5mm higher still! (and then another 5mm at the rear when needed)

What is the opinion on jap bolt in cages for a weekend car that should start seeing a few track days a year?

Better than nothing in my opinion, and you should be able to find a free one so the value is second to none :banana:

car came with a cusco safety21 7point+harness bar. seems to make the car less flexy, so in the respect it feels great, was just wondering if anyone had any experience of how they held up

some are better than others but the cusco/safety 21 made ones are not too bad. the only bad bit is the ones they make that curve around the dash. ideally you want to get one of the ones that goes straight through the dash. 2 good reasons. 1 it's safer. and 2 it makes the cage less 'intrusive' especially around your right foot area and getting in and out etc.

Why dont you race at the Bitumen Sprints and Hill Climb here in Townsville?

sadly, mine goes around the dash... was considering taking it out, selling it, then getting a CAMS and ADR approved 5point from Brown Davis, as i dont want to go through the dash on what is a street car at the moment.

I had a chat with Kyle about doing a twin scroll manifold for me a few weeks back. Is it a single wastegate design?

Yeah single wastegate

I've had stuff all time, need to get the car in one piece to brisbane

Get a popper welded in roll cage.

Safer, better ridgidity and increase the value of you car

Ash

How can you say a weld in cage increased the value of the car? My experience has been that weld in cages mean that the car is effectively a full time race car, which limits the buying public interested in the car to effectively race only.

Secondly, i have found those wanting a dedicated track car with a full weld in cage typically like what they like and when they see a car with a certain cage, they often dont like the cage and would like the cage design to be different. Again, limiting the range of appeal the car has.

So, not saying you are wrong, just shringmy experiences

Can't say i've seen 3k worth of cage increase the value of the car by 3k either. The increase would be marginal.

Not saying weld in's don't have their place as there are category's where i wouldn't drive without a comprehensive cage, but for the 90 odd percent of people here who track their daily it's a big commitment, and one that can make their car unregisterable at that.

Big little engine project is very close to completion now. Had a high-octane sump extension welded onto a factory sump last week so ive installed that today and finished cleaning up and installing a little more plumbing. The timing belt issue has been a bit more of a challange that I had thought it would be. The first belt ive sourced is 1 tooth too long, so im having to order a belt from the UK that normally goes on a vahuxall astra to get the right tooth count.

GTRS's should arrive next week so when the belt arrives it will be ready to install. Cant wait!

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
