What a disaster of a day. Jack with more rotten luck, Matt with his silly guard problem and me losing it into and through the flip flop at 190-200km/h. So should have had then camera in the car....Dirty as that was going to be a quick lap....lol, well it would have been if i didnt try to ge flat through the flip flop. The car just has a strange tendency to walk around and move around in corners ... Bugger all you for telling me to holdf it flat through the flip flop!

But pissing coolant everywhere, in the first sprint session, cracked rotor in the 2nd and a some air action for the 3rd. How easy is it to lock rear brakes with a cracked rear rotor :(

... should have stayed at home today, went to the track to take my mind off a few things...lol the wild rides sure did that :)

Nah, just a bit of alloy tube punctured my fuel tank which put an end to my day...well its a was a blessing as i didnt want to let the cracked rear rotor stop me :)

But, i appreciate i shoudl not have been a car wide on the grass on the inside of the track on the back straight...but no way it should have those big ruts there which when you go over you get launched airborn! Thank god i caught it early when it kicked out sideways as hitting those big ruts when anything but straight!!!!! Well, maybe they should be throwing some fill in the big ruts rather then in the hill for spectators ???

Still, heart goes out to poor old Jack...i had a few little hiccups but was still able to get most my sessions...striking drama in the first session is the pits :(

Big thanks to the organizers and volunteers....Had an awesome day :) Despite the predictions of rain the sun ruled and conditions were great for racing....although it was getting a little hot in the car at the end of the day. If I hadn't run out of fuel I think I would've still been doing laps till the sun went down :down:

I felt I really took the GTR by the scruff of the neck and got the most out of it. Got a new PB of a low 1.06 but the best part of the day was the supersprint at the end of the day....left the grid in 5-6th spot and beat the wrx next to me to the first corner and from there managed to overtake everyone to find myself in 1st place on the last lap....the GTR rules ;)

Sorry to see everyone strike little gremlins but they weren't big things so you'll be back on the road in no time.....LOL brisby no camera but the view I had of it from the top of the hill was very entertaining :)

Oh and no problem assyrian4evaa glad you enjoyed the ride ;)

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
