Might try and take my sisters 300zx, its just an auto but still would be better than an open wheeling mustang.

Dont think i want to weld it up as i know it will break fairly quick and as its currently my daily driver.

have to wait and see.

Shame about the clutch :( Most of the skidpan will be in 2nd gear when you get used to it, when your learning mostly 1st gear.

1 spot still open 5 days till skidpan ! :yes:

YeahI know, but the clutch is goone, I'll bring it anyway as I just bought some Potena re050 for the front andI want to see how they will turn in for the motorkhna the next weekend

1 spot still available to make 10, but you need to ring dereck at www.fifthgear.com.au to book in. No point transferring it to me at this stage, price is 99$

You guys looked to have heaps of fun out there in the morning! Was great meeting you guys.

The afternoon session absolutely rocked! The car is absolutely covered head to toe in muddy stained thick 'water'. Hopefully one of the staff at my work will wash it for me...

It was unfortunate that I didn't see any of my mates with video camera's like you guys had, so I don't know how it looked, but it felt insane.

No probs. Had a great time and was good to catch up with everyone again. Dirtiest I think my cars been after the skidpan lol. Given it a wash once so far, now to clean all the out of the way places lol. Took a few pics myself, will see if I can post em up later. Good that you guys had fun in the afternoon too.

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
