hey stupid toyota

sorry to hear about your head gasket issue, as you say that racing.

i'm sure you'll proably be playing cars on the weekend then too!

what's a decent time on the clubman?

russ

no idea to be truthful the blue patrol is not mine it was just parked next to my car in the shop. Its a sand racer and 1300hp nissan patrol engine

1300hp RB30? DAMN!!!!!

Whats it got inside as far as internals go?

Also how do you stop the block from exploding?!?!

Those sand races are awesome to watch :ninja:

my race machine, this was taken a few months before i banged it into that wall just behind it there in the picture.

r32 gtr on the way.

*drool*

abit of a downgrade going to a gtr?

race spec 600 hp gtr will be quicker and handle easier but be chaeaper to fix after a prang- (cost almost as much too), this tail happy bitch is the best car i ever fanged on a track though (its unchanged from factory and does 12.3's with no turbo), sounds awesome but cost a fortune when somethiong breaks and i broke lots of things. repair bill for current prang more than 100k.

damn thats a big bill! i see why you went for the gtr :ninja:

BTW Marks little video!! http://www.hioctaneracing.com.au/video.php

you think we could have cleaned it!!

russ

that is a cool vid. very well done actually and the car looks great in it. love the stack dash.

hey john

you dont have time to be on here get back to fixing the head gasket!! :worship:

come to think of it, i should be in the shed too!

cheers russ

LOL, Ive been busted...

I'm taking my time with it I must admit. Barely touched it today, serviced the work ute instead.

Looking into a few upgrades because it sounds like I might be chasing your times again with all the mods you've been making :(

Might even start on a new engine for the car, for next year. Won't go for any more power initially as 2WD is pretty limiting currently. More like less weight, better distribution and bigger brakes.

hey thanks fellas

yeah the car does look alright! they did a really good job because the car was very dirty and looking a little worse for wear after the dutton and that was about a week later.

richard - the stack is great and really easy to read at speed especially whe nyou get a warning indicator come up and the tacho is everything!!!

hey john i dont think you have to worry to much about our times! i have seen your car in action and it's a real credit to you.

cheers russ

sounds good. I will try some rear toe in, and some less caster. I get doug heasman to do it for me. he uses old school equipment. I too had massive problems with laser equipment not being even close to accurate. you put it on the machine 3 times and you get 3 different figures. I mean, they had a workshop fan and when it was on the force of that air onto the car made the alignment readings jump around. after I saw that I gave up on the laser machines and now only get doug to do it with his setsquares and dials. :P

Ive had no problems with laser equipment at the bridgestone i use. I know the guy there as we send alot of business their way, and long story short do the spanner work under the car, watching the figures change untill im happy. I also have someone roughly 70kg sit in the driver seat for me while this is going on.

On the printout you get it lists old alignment and the new. Every time i went back in to re adjust the alignments it had not changed at all from before.

my final settings were(full sk package)

camber front 2.0 neg each side

castor max around 6

toe 2mm out each side

camber rear 1.5 neg each side

toe zero

im pretty confident that if i went back now and put it on the laser gear it wouldnt have changed. Unless u hit a pot hole its really not going to change that much, it would have been six months since ive had one so ill have to get it back around there soon and see.

crap stories aside, can someone show me a pic of these traction rods fitted to their 32 gtr? would love to find an improvement in my suspension alignment area

and giant, your car is possibly the best looking 32 ive seen!!!!

it may seem fine. and laser alinger may be top shelf for a truck or whatever and maybe some laser machines are better than others. this was the latest beissbarth machine. maybe 1 month old when I used it. and it doesn't take a genius to figure out where they fall down. they have those 4 massive things hanging off each wheel so the slightest movement with the car or someone farting etc sets them moving and figures bounce around. old school is best. trust me. we are talking tenths of a mil in measurement either so the amount of accuracy is crucial and those type of machines just don't have it.

I'll see if I can get you a pic of the traction rods.

there you go (it's the gold ikeya arm):

    • 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?
