Hope the enthusiasm doesn't wear off. I'd certainly like to see an event organised by our two clubs.

We're going to be at Shannon's Wheels Expo this year. If nothing eventuates before, we can use that show to have a discussion and try to set up some sort of agenda.

I organised a joint supra skyline event before, went down really well (but it was the sydney guys)

Its fun to race your mates, but its more fun to race new mates :wave:

No, no.. you keep your fuse plugged in... Hate to see those training wheels come off >_<

I'm looking forward to our little 3 round comp too. I noticed the dyno day thread but it looks like we may not be invited.

LoL, no fuse to pull out... I have a switch in the car... Training wheels on a switch with a turque controller, just to make sure the training wheels work to there very best. :banana:

Then make a dyno day and invite me. :D I will come and get my ass handed to me :w00t:

Can be 2wd dyno too :)

We had one in October last year.

We're trying to limit our own dyno events to one per annum. That may, and probably will, change though.

However if this was going to be part of our 3 round "Supra Vs Skyline" comp then I'm sure that we can arrange it.

Here's some links to our dyno day video.

I know a couple of these supra people, dyno we are going to lose, but at least one of these high horsepower supras cant drive it for shit and I mean FOR SHIT!! *cough* Danny *cough*

And ive heard a few stories, so it will be a different kettle on the track.

who's this Danny you speak of, do i know you? :D

Id rather pay a higher price and have less cars on track, more to ourselves.

What is the autosports web site?

:D

you're such a n00b John!

I see you finally made it here :D

ps. wtf is with the satay thing?!?!

lol, made it here? You make it sound like im some long lost relative :D Im so keen for this, i love grudge matches - and the fact that ive got both cars means i can win either way! If a supr has the fastest time ill be on their side and bag you lot, if a skyline wins ill be on your side and knock my supra as being stock :D Win win :D

Merli changed my name after seeing what i had to eat at dinner (satay chicken)

lol! long lost brother??!! :D:D

(adopted - cos we look nothing alike haha!)

nah i just meant since i told you on the phone that time about it!! you finally made it to the thread!!

lol

Ok, you're now my long lost adopted sister from down south

Yep im in for this day so i figured posting in the thread would help :D

Some good power there...

I like the just over 300kw run thats on 13psi. Thats good.

Yeah, heaps of potential. Aftermarket twin turbo setup. Lots more to come from this car and at least one more in a few weeks.

My car had fuel delivery issues at the dyno day. Intermittent loss of fuel due to the stock pump and walbro intank playing up. Had a bosch 044 installed since. Much better power figures now.

Im very keen for this day, we seem to have enough interest aswell... We just need a solid booking now.

By the way "Silver RZ" lots of power might be good for dyno days and the quater mile but on the track its a different story... There are a few light little GTST's here that pack a good punch on the track without having big power figures... You might get us on the straight but look out for us through the twisties :D

The Supra has always been given the 'heavy-weight' branding by the US. The RZ is actually 1490kg compared to 1320kg R32 Skyline GTST, 1480kg R32 Skyline GTR and 1500kg R32 Skyline GTR V-Spec.

But you're definitely right. A good setup gets you far at the track. It's better however to have power and not need it, then need power and not have it. :D

Everyone calls me Niko by the way.

edit: If Jayce is reading any of this, then G'day mate. Long time no see.

LoL that was my next question... Which ones yours.

Niko's supra i would be putting my money on now ;)

I didnt have much of a chance to watch the vids before work just a quick look.

Its really good to see you guys making vids... I rate that.

Good work guys.

Yeah I thought it was a good job of the vids too - makes me feel guilty for not taking the time to work on the marques cruise :D

who's this Danny you speak of, do i know you? :(

Danny, there may be some confusion as to who cannot drive for shite on a race track and that should be directed at me. I spent a lot of time on the dirt and I told Johnny boy all about it when we worked together and I was suitably laughed at...... :angry:

Now that I have my suspension all set up, all I need are some tyres and hopefully I have learnt something about setting a car up for track work/play. :banana:

    • We will review wtf is going on, but if you made any donations let me know and i will follow it up with the admins
    • See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars
    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like  
    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
