I would have LOVED to have been there, but didn't want to take a Skyline spot with the open wheeler. I couldn't take the GTR because there was an intermittent problem which Mark only resolved last weekend. But I watched the thread closely in case you called for extras and had my bags packed just in case, but it said it was full up :down:

The problem we were having with the GTR, simple as it was, it was hard to troubleshoot... ended up being a loose wire in the AFM, Mark cut the top off the AFM and found the loose connection inside, soldered it and it has been perfect ever since. In fact I spent all day on Wednesday in the GTR at Oran Park and got FTD :P:(:)

So there's a good message to all, look inside your AFM's before replacing them, it may be as simple as a spot of solder.

Spotted a silver R33 at London Circuit - Northbourne intersection 12:20. they were in front of me.

And a Chameleon R33 [maybe, could have been a 32] coming out of Murrumbateman at 12:40 or there abouts, waved, don't know if they waved back.

That was probably me. I was cutting around there about that time. Sorry totally didn't see you if it was me. I should introduce myself to the A.C.T crew sometime, but you know . . . effort.

Hey baconer, are you YVB *** ? Dark blue LT 2000 that was turning right off Corranderk and into towards the Convention Centre?

haha yep that was me, guessing you were the silver 33 behind me. I see the silver 33 pretty much everyday when im crossing the road to work and it always makes me think about how much i regret selling my skyline

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together
