Hey All,

I know a few of us are participating/watching this event on Sunday so I thought I'd organise a meeting point and time for those who want to cruise up as a group. It takes around an hour and 15 min to get there and we should arrive a bit early so we can get ourselves organised and fill out paper work etc.. We will be leaving at 6.40am SHARP so don't be late. Here it is...

Where: Shell Gateway servo at EPIC

When: 6.30am arrival for a 6.40am departure. SHARP!

What: Cruise to Maurlen Driving Training Center

Please add your name to the list if your intending on meet up so we know who and how many are coming. Cheers...

was an awesome day! everyone drove well with only a couple of cars having dramas. big ups to reece for having the showdown of the year with me!! was close buddy, but i think i won that round!! we were dicing so closely that the officials told us to separate! Zane did a great job too. in fact everyone did. was good to put some faces to names as well. thanks too go out to stinkypoo for taking some happy snaps. cant wait to see em!

some good pics there stinky... you can see the marshal about to tell me and reece to move apart in the last photo. we were much closer than that on previous laps :D. And if any one wants to know how much of a difference brake ducting makes than look at the 1st photo. if you look closely my rears are glowing and my fronts aren't! i do recommend it for any trackdays you might do....

You definantly won that round, but was hell of alot of fun, I will try to even the score next year. RS-R's and a Diff to come to level the playing field :down:

THANKYOU so much for the photo's to both Stinkypoo and Callum, great reminder of the day. And thanks to Zane for almost embarrasing me in me own car, .4 sec isn't a lot of time to find :)

Better late then never, or maybe better never at all, I dunno.

I've uploaded a very short clip of ALL of the HD footage I got on the day. Check it out here:

    • 65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.
    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
