Hi guys,,

finally the forum is back online again. I noticed lots of thread is missing, so I have to create this new one.

Based on previous votes quite a few voted for 2nd week of December to have a skidpan training before Christmas. Last skidpan in November was pretty good, we may have 20th December for free will confirm.

For the meantime Saturday 20-Dec-2003:

1. Rianto (myself)

2. Sam (Hypnotik) - deposit received

3. Simon (SKYL9) - deposit received

4. Kelvin Ho - deposit received

5. Chris (Scotsman) - deposit received

6. Darren - deposit received

Who's in? For those who didn't know yet, cost is $120pp, in which $50 deposit is required at front.

Cheers,

Rianto

what about the following Saturday, the 20th December?

I was told 13 & 14 Dec was both taken already.

Hypnotik, you don't need burnout tyres. Tyre wear are down to minimal with oil & water on the skidpan. I use my everyday tyres and has been there 2-3 times no visible tyre wear.

Ok, I guess I will come. Any spots available on the 20th?

Last time I went to the skidpan they literally had no tread on them at the end of the day, although they had very little at the start of the day.

Hypnotik, I'll put your name in. Yeah I see if u got no tread left, you'll need at least a pair of rear ones. But isn't no tread on the rear means slide better = more fun?

Rob, If I book the 20th Dec deposit is usually required by end of next week (approximately 2 weeks before the date). Are you in? Hope your car be ready in 3 weeks time ;)

i have a spare set of 32 rims... u got 4 or 5 studs on ur sil? cause if u have 5 then u can borrow my rims... just get the tyres taken off and get some second hand crappers stuck on.

Hmm.. I think S13 Silvia is 4 stud. Only from S14 onwards it has 5 stud, S14 even has the same factory rim as R33. But correct me if I'm wrong.

Hypnotik, do u need tyres as well? Talk to R32Skyline (Cam) as he told me he got very cheap 2nd hand tyres...

My Silvia has 4 stud wheels.

My tyres on the back are fairly new, so I might just get some old tyres and swap them over for a few days.

Thanks for the offers guys, but I live in Geelong so it will probably make it a bit difficult. :cheers:

actually res because of the whole xmas thing... u wanna make it after xmas or was that no good?

inark,

I know its goin to be xmas and ppl could be away for holiday, need the $ to buy presents for loved ones, etc, etc. But 20th is the last chance before xmas for ppl who can still make it. if not then we might have to wait till end of jan or sometime in feb. I was told the skidpan will usually be very much occupied in January.

    • For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
