Adam, are you looking at getting a Racepace exhaust? If they are black flagging you after one session then that is no fun. It was funny at first, but my lst Sandown and PI were ruined as i only got 4 laps at each with full noise because of the EPA. Maybe i need to sell my titanium exhaust to help fund a good flowing quiest exhaust :)

Heh i'm pretty sure its not your exhaust that is your problem with the noise police....

fairly certain it would have something to do with that external screamer pipe....

except 3 out of your 5 fastest track times are in a GTR;)

nah awesome effort, great to see the beast making some serious progress... looking at the video you should get a medal for bravery!

I was thinking about the rear grip in your car and wondering, with tyres as wide as you have and a pretty light car you would need a really soft compound tyre to take advantage of the width etc... perhaps they're too hard? I don't know what's available in that size but I would assume its pretty limited until you go to a full slick?

just checked the regulations, and noticed a few things

Tow hooks? do we need like a sticker or something pointing to where it is?? i'm not sure where mine is, but i have a feeling it would be hard to get if it's around the front bumper area

Two methods of securing the bonnet? I don't have bonnet pins or anything like that... does that mean i'm kinda stuck when it comes to this area?

And you have to tape up your headlights yeah?

Daniel,

You do not need a sticker for your tow tooks as you will usually be by the car if it needs a tow and as long as you know where they are you can tell the marshalls. Be aware though that there is a chance of some damage to your front bar/lip due to the location of the std tow hook.

2nd bonnet restraint is simple....some braided steel line and some clamps is all you will need - as per what Roman said^

If you are taking your R34 no you don't need to tape your headlights - you only need to do this if they are made of glass.

They passed it so you should be all good if you make one. All parts can be bought from Bunnings, will cost you around $20.00

if you have a normal bonnet it comes with a secondary restraint.

Some scruitineers will argue that though. At superlap you wouldn't pass with just the standard latch. Even though it's 2 mechanisms they'll argue that it is one 'system' that can fail....

      Dry sump? Is that like where you don't put oil in, and leave the car parked in the garage because it's worth so much now and is like a beautiful museum piece? 😛

      [ACT] Nissan Fuga Y50 VQ35HR 2009

      By Zveruga · Posted

      Nissan Fuga Y50 2009 VQ35HR 313 hp / 230 kW RWD Also sold as Infiniti M overseas. Performance sedan built on the same chassis as Skyline V36 or Infiniti FX. Great colour with a fantastic velour interior. Very quiet and fast car (<6s 0-100), but can also be very economical for performance (long-term average consumption 11/100 km) I imported it five years ago, and it was well looked after. It has a full service history and a balance of ACT rego. There are no finance or PPSR issues with the car. Has all the features you'd expect from a luxury car. ABS brakes Stability control Traction control Dual-zone climate control Power and memory front seats and steering column Power passenger ottoman Smart key access Push button start 2 parking cameras Steering wheel audio controls Adaptive radar cruise control AFS aiming headlights Xenon HID headlights Security system Original Nissan remote start system Two original keys Dual-channel dashcam Blackvue 750 with PowerMagicPro for battery-aware parking recording Regularly serviced with a lot of major items done: Full new original Nissan suspension shocks throughout Performance CSF radiator Recent tyres, less than 10k on them New drive belt New bonnet struts Brakes recently done The car comes with a fully converted AV system with Australian GPS maps, DVD, and radio ($2k job). I really love this car, but I have too many cars and too many Nissans in the family, so unfortunately, I need to sell it. Priced at $18500 The car can be seen in Curtin. Thank you for your attention.

      JDM R35 Bought at Japanese Auction

      Here are a few photos.  The car is auction grade 4.5B and a genuine 1 owner car, as far as I can tell...  It has a full service history with only 31,000km in it.  I'd love to put a midpipe and tune on it but I am thinking that I'll retain its originality.

      I can be grumpy!  After owning one of the first GTRs in the country, I was bitten by the nostalgia bug and started the hunt for a GTR again.  While I could have bought a car locally, I wanted to experience the search for a car in Japan and bidding at auction.  The above videos document my experience to date and hope forum members find them interesting and informative.  I was after a low mileage, completely stock car in the launch colour and am pretty stoked with what I got!

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      Did you calibrate the throttle in the Haltech? It might be falling in and out of the closed loop strategy, especially if the car has been tuned on different TPS voltages.
