Thats a truly amazing effort from Scotsman and Adz on the win! Well done you guys!

You guys' driving was very impressive from what I saw yesterday! Results show it! Good stuff!

Amazing effort from Ryan as well setting the fastest time! When you consider everything else you were up against thats really well done!

RMODE looked strong and very fast as well. Slides into the second corner were great!

Seeing a couple of the cars overshoot the first corner was exciting but very breathtaking! Especially the R35 GTR skidding onto the grass toward the hill!

Congrats guys top effort all round.

We've clearly got some highly skilled drivers among us.

If I'm lucky some of it might rub off on me :woot:

yeah its not so bad getting thrashed at Deca when you realise how quick some of the guys are... dunno about it rubbing off though, I've been in the club for years and I still suck :wub:

Well done to everyone, awesome results... especially Chris who I'm now dubbing Iceman (super cool under pressure and all that)... well deserved mate, you have been close a few times great to see you and Adz win it :)

Hah, don't tell me that Nick, I need all the help I can get!

Also big thumbsup to Ryan mixing it up and pulling off some awesome times.

You'll have to PM me and tell me what's done to that SilEighty, she must be a bit of a weapon (or maybe you're The Stig?)

What a great weekend! Big thanks to all the guys and girls who came down to support us and thanks for all the kind words. Another thanks to Mick from Micolour who co drived with me, we had a fantastic set up which landed us 2nd in club class.

Congrats to Chris and Norton on their big win, the pressure was too much for some and it showed when their machines couldnt take it anymore and had to go home early on trailers. those whos stayed got yet another whooping from the GTR!

As for our weekend, we can hardly say we had no problems, however, there was no stage that we didnt go 100% on. Friday night saw us replacing the diff in the Hotel Basement carpark because it was causing big viabrations over 200clicks. A couple of hours and a few cans later and it was ready to go again. Thanks to Shane for the Diff, being another 2way it was like we never changed it.

After Day 2 at Lang Lang we had a couple of little problems to fix. The short shifter was held together with 1 out of 4 bolts which was also loose. if it had also come out it would have been back to melb to fix which would have been extremely shit, thankfully we caught that in time. Day 3 was relatively flawless. Nothing broke and we managed to climb back into second place behind vins factory built STI weapon.

As for the car dan, hsd coilovers, 2860rs turbo, pfc, a few suspension arms and a 324mm brake upgrade and a 2way. plus coolers, a race seat and a half cage. The tyres are also a biggie. AO50s are incredible.

Well done to the young guns - you too can now have a cool little note in your forum signature :P

Impressive stuff from Frisey too.

Was a fun weekend - I've discovered the R35 is far to big for anything but circuit work but it was good fun playing around in anyway since we destroyed the rubber on SMAUG in 5mins at PI. It's a good little toy.

The headbutt machine was tops too! :P

Thanks guys.

Was good to get the win under the belt.

Now I need to figure out, what next?

Great job by Ryan at haunted hills, it must have been a smoking lap to be quickest out there.

My car is a little worse for wear and in need of a clutch and probably a diff amungst other little things. But she hung in there right till the end and was fast even when we were driving conservativly.

I didn't think the coverage would be of interest to the average Today audience... housewives, the elderly and people who have absolutely nothing to do so end up watching tv at 9am

Agreed but its the Karl factor :D

Now I need to figure out, what next?

Unless you want to take on the tarmac rallies which involves big $$ in terms of setting your beast up for it I'm not sure there is too much else in that segment.....maybe think of doing Duttons in other states?

      I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
