even if you fed the engine a never ending suppy of tall d cupped shaved virgins is shouldnt make that much diffrence!

i dunno. if they were regular then sure, but shaven certainly adds a couple hundred horse power to my engine...

Fantastic effort guys! ya did Oz proud. Also, given the budget & time constraints it's a testament to Aust'n tuning & build quality.

The UK contingent did great but were plagued with numerous problems, despite having the resources of a big local company backing them.

Results taken from the Time Attack UK site:

Great stuff guys, just shows that the local boys dont have the mortagate on engineering expertise or driver talent. Well done. I get the feeling that Richard might not be the only tourist there to cheer you guys on next year.

hey guys

i just want to thank you all for the congratulations! it was an awsome experience. i really ejoyed the racing and the people and the experience, the english lads were really nice too! we didnt get get on it with them as they had many late nights working on the cars!

just reading what sydneykid was saying, it is absolutely correct tyres really cost us!! but all experience learned , the car had a 58 in it on these tyres but required more time in the last session (only 10 minutes & slow cars on track meant four quick laps and couldnt get tyre temp)

all things going well we will be back there next year ( in the r34) with a car that runs 50 flat or better on the sprint at qr and sub 1 minutes at wakefield on semi's, that has to be the new goal!

i will post some pics on incar tonight hopefully when i have had a rest, just flew in this morning.

marks already got his head under the bonnet of a gtr back here! :) , we have heaps of ideas!

i cant say enough what a cool trip it was to go to the nismo festival(huge! i think i saw over seventy gtr's, 4 gtr 400's in a row on the road while eating breakfast before heading to fuji and the track setup would have been two to three times the size of eastern creek!!) and then tsukuba which is not a big track but very up close and personal with some very very special cars!! rocommended to all

jdm car freaks.

i would also like to thank the people who helped us with knowledge and products, the car was a reliable bullet and we couldve done fifty laps around there in one session, i think we would be the only ones that could say that!

russ

p.s we didnt see the american subaru there and the hks evo was still on its way back from buttonwillow in the states (where it kicked there asses!), the driver of the hks evo jumped the uk evo and managed a sub 1 minute for that car.

      R34 power steering

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.

      R34 power steering

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
