There will be a CAMS Accredited photographer at the Track so you can have Photo's done of you car on the day ($20 for a CD of your own car) if your interested me let us know .

yeh why not

my brakes are sweet, got spare pads/rotors, toolkit, jack & stand, 40L extra fuel

tune is awesome, all ready to go. helmet packed, car washed and ready

now to recover the knees for a day

ah i wish i didn't leave my brake upgrade to the last minute ;) , just got it on the road today to find that my new ghey wheels don't fit. gotta manage to ghetto pump the guards tomorrow to make them clear the tyres when turning....can nothing go right with this freakin car :(

Car got a major service yesterday, and decided to put my qfm pads in today, done the rears with no problem got to the fronts, got the old pads out but couldn't get the pistons pushed back as there was too much pressure from me pumping the brake peddle after doing the rears, my bad. So I flushed all the brake fluid out , eventionally used a welding clamp,( highly recommended) and pushed pistons back. Started bleeding the back brakes will finish tomorrow.

All good fun!

Just wait for confirmation on the timers from:

writeoff (Sharing with tangles)

Picking up the timers tomorrow afternoon and would prefer confirmation before i do.

i'll cover full costs mate

hey D strils im still down for the timing gear and im 99% sure nigel (bit sus) is still keen on the timing gear

also car is 95% ready

does anyone kno how i should vent my fuel tank?

i dont have a carbon canister anymore or the hard line, i was told to get a inline filter and just run a line up the inside of the quater panel.

but when the fuel got hot on the dyno it started leaking out the end of the breather :s

so im mad as confused if any one can pm me with an answer ull save my arse :blink:

thanks every1

haha mate i done the same thing, I bought slotted rotors all round three weeks ago which i left till today to fit along with qfm pads to find the fronts they sent me do not fit !!! oh well i got slotted rears :blink:

Yeah I'm still in. Sorry, didn't realise you wanted confirmation.

well, it all starts today, off to pick up the R at lunchtime :blink:

i may hav to disappear briefly during the day, my mate's dad (where i store my car) wants to use the trailer to pick up some steel for his shed. seems we chose the same day to want the trailer :D so just gotta run it back down the road for him to grab it

can someone please call me if you know the correct way to vent the fueltank without a carbon canister so that fuel does not piss out the breather hose i have up my quater pannel when the tank gets hot ill give you a 6pak if i get an answer thismorning

regards

I am down for this as well shane....also is anyone got a video camera....i just want a bit of video footage of me on the track :P .....but the photos would be a great idea....

also for those folks wanting to meet up with me in the morning i will be waiting at the caltex servo just past the bp servo on port wakefield road......see you guys there at 06:45am for a 07:10am leave

    • If you are keeping the current calipers you need to keep the current disc as the spacing of the caliper determines the disc diameter. Have you trial fitted the GTS brakes fit on a GTSt hub or is this forward planning? There could be differences in caliper mount spacing, backing plate and even hub shape that could cause an issue.
    • Hi there I have a r33 gts with 4 stud small brakes, I'm going to convert to 5 stud but keep the small brakes, what size rotor would I need?
    • First up, I wouldn't use PID straight up for boost control. There's also other control techniques that can be implemented. And as I said, and you keep missing the point. It's not the ONE thing, it's the wrapping it up together with everything else in the one system that starts to unravel the problem. It's why there are people who can work in a certain field as a generalist, IE a IT person, and then there are specialists. IE, an SQL database specialist. Sure the IT person can build and run a database, and it'll work, however theyll likely never be as good as a specialist.   So, as said, it's not as simple as you're thinking. And yes, there's a limit to the number of everything's in MCUs, and they run out far to freaking fast when you're designing a complex system, which means you have to make compromises. Add to that, you'll have a limited team working on it, so fixing / tweaking some features means some features are a higher priority than others. Add to that, someone might fix a problem around a certain unrelated feature, and that change due to other complexities in the system design, can now cause a new, unforseen bug in something else.   The whole thing is, as said, sometimes split systems can work as good, and if not better. Plus when there's no need to spend $4k on an all in one solution, to meet the needs of a $200 system, maybe don't just spout off things others have said / you've read. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet, including in translated service manuals, and data sheets. Going and doing, so that you know, is better than stating something you read. Stating something that has been read, is about as useful as an engineering graduate, as all they know is what they've read. And trust me, nearly every engineering graduate is useless in the real world. And add to that, if you don't know this stuff, and just have an opinion, maybe accept what people with experience are telling you as information, and don't keep reciting the exact same thing over and over in response.
    • How complicated is PID boost control? To me it really doesn't seem that difficult. I'm not disputing the core assertion (specialization can be better than general purpose solutions), I'm just saying we're 30+ years removed from the days when transistor budgets were in the thousands and we had to hem and haw about whether there's enough ECC DRAM or enough clock cycles or the interrupt handler can respond fast enough to handle another task. I really struggle to see how a Greddy Profec or an HKS EVC7 or whatever else is somehow a far superior solution to what you get in a Haltech Nexus/Elite ECU. I don't see OEMs spending time on dedicated boost control modules in any car I've ever touched. Is there value to separating out a motor controller or engine controller vs an infotainment module? Of course, those are two completely different tasks with highly divergent requirements. The reason why I cite data sheets, service manuals, etc is because as you have clearly suggested I don't know what I'm doing, can't learn how to do anything correctly, and have never actually done anything myself. So when I do offer advice to people I like to use sources that are not just based off of taking my word for it and can be independently verified by others so it's not just my misinterpretation of a primary source.
    • That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now
