Still good for one track day at least. Not rated in ks but laps if anything. Once warmed up slicks are nice and sticky and not as frustrating not being able to turn in or accelerate as much as you would like on corners.

By the way for those participating and having lunch we have a couple of cases of the mighty V as well as other drinks. Yes we know the Skyline guys live on the stuff. But lets not make it a V topic just letting you know DON'T pannick it will be there.

Maybe my zed might go faster if I threw some down my throat.

Slicks eh, interesting !

How cheap and how used ? (As in approx how many km or laps would I get at EC with no drifting doing 2:00 laptimes?).

To get RE540 Semi-slicks in 225/60/15 it was going to be like $290ea.

:bahaha: Benm gets the trackday bug and goes straight for cheater tyres!

See y'all there, cant wait to give the gibson car a good run around :P

I'll even go easy on your Z john, since you are the host :D

trackday bug yes, cheater no.

Once i have my brakes sorted out (got some proper fluid now and also need to learn how to use them better) im expecting about 3-4sec a lap quicker just from that. With a better set of tyres im hoping for another 5+ sec quicker.

Won't be long and i'll be under 2mins at EC, probably early next year.

John.... the last two UAS days have been a week after a Motoconcepts day and the old girl has not been able to back up after the day at Eastern.....blown this/hammered that:(

Oh well there is always next year at Wakefield! Ill still be along to spectate and enjoy the day.

Thanks for putting on these days , and supporting the scene.;)

I have a mate who wants to come have a look, he has two sons (5 & 10 YO or something like that). IS it OK to bring kids ? I'd imagine it would be OK behind the fence but not in the pits.. I haven't been to Oran for ages so I can't recall what it's like there.

Super keen to come but am a little uneducated on how to get to Oran Park!! Was wondering if anyone from around my area (Chatswood) was going....*cough* Brendan, Dino, Nick etc *cough* and if i could follow them out there!!

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
