Sorry I couldn't stay longer, but I had to go to a wedding. It was good meeting a few of you. Next time I'll stay longer and hopefully put the car on instead of it just sitting pretty in the car park haha.

Babek, Rb26 took you out whats going on?! What happened?

Oh wait - You tube.. Wow man, hope that didnt have an effect Nice run!

Yeah that was a machin. I was hoping to get good numbers on the 1st run but cold tyres, meh :P

Hey Dale, was nice to meet you. didnt realise you were PSI Parts until it was too late. Wanted to see if you had some bits n pieces for sale

I came more for the cars rather than to try and sell stuff :P

Not sure if many people saw but I had a Carbon Fibre helmet out for a little while that has been discussed on the forum lately.

Now that I am awake & sober again...

Great to see you all yesterday; my votes of thanks go to (in no particular order)

* SAU team for organizing, venue, event, food etc...

* UAS for hosting and staffing - especially to Mr. Dyno Man (Ben I believe?) for the extra runs...

* GTRsean for the spy shot (and somehow NOT getting me in the photo)

* All the people who were good enough to share info about their cars / development process

* Everyone there for not being complete tossers and putting on a positive atmosphere unlike a few other days we've been to(girls appreciated that, first comment made after we left)

Ended the day with 326.9rwkw - had some boosting issues, and had to run a lower amount compared to when we made 350. Goal for 2009 - break 400rwkw :P

Top radiator pipe poped out. loose clamp or too high pressure.

but its all goo so far :P

It didn't do a head gasket and pressurise the coolant system? Hope it was only a loose/faulty clamp.

    • Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.
    • Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?
    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
    • I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
