Was going to message you on the weekend to see if you were going to be running! Awesome! Was also going to see if you are up for a run up to Winton the following week?

Winton could be a definate maybe. A trailer would really help. Will keep you posted

You will be happy to know we are tackeling the brake issue head on and I dont mean by crashing in to oncoming traffic to slow down.

I have identified that all nissan master cylinders have a 50:50 proportioning up to a specific split point. At that point it goes to a 60/40 split to the rear +3/-7. I am varifying this on the weekend by tracing brake presures with a testing kit. Will provide the graph next week. If this comes out in factory spec which I think it will we are going back to std gtr calipers on the rear not the alcon setup. This in addition to the anit dive, the removal of the battey in the front and a mild brake pad should see the braking distances improve dramatically and stop the rears from locking.

Curently we have been using a 60% reducer to iliminate the rear lock up. This ment there was a 70/30 brake split when there should have been 50/50 which then decreased to a 76/24 split upon maximum braking. Obviously not ideal but better than random hand brake gremlin.

Will keep you posted.

Will be interesting to see how you go. Is it using 4 channels one for each wheel, or just front and rear circuits?

If its up the duff it may simply be better to go aftermarket pedal box. Do you have all your fluff on the thing now, diffusers, wing etc?

I won't be driving. Might come for a watch though.

Dont want to risk $180 if I break something at winton tomorrow and can't drive and don't wanna pay $280 coz it will be less than a week till entries close.

Bit of a rip if you ask me.

Needs to be done? Basically new fuel pump, wheel alignment and service.

What i want done? New fuel rail, fuel filter, fuel reg, 6boost manifold install, plazmaman inlet plenum install, install titanium exhaust , SBC-R EBC installed, Gizzmo shift light installed, My-Chron wiring finished, new brakes put on, RB25box installed with new twin plate, new radiator and electic fans and fan controller, isntall front undertray, new upper and lower susp arms and bits, maybe try the cams i have sitting around...LOL, so much shit i have acquired for the car. To think i have sold some of the stuff i was going to install :)

LOL, the body got the overhaul after i took it off the road, but most of the mechanicals still need doing. Also want to give it a run down the qtr before going back OS, though not sure i have the time. Need to borrow some R32 GTR rims to buy some good drag radials. I want a 12.2 or better ;)

TRAITOR!!! Its all RB20 or go home :D

Wow it doesnt look good for this weekend. Sadely I will still be there sitting in a garage freezing my nutz off hoping for one semi dry lap.

Bris you keen for Winton next weekend. Both Sat and Sun have club sprints. One with Alfa and one with Jag.

Cant belive Sandown is free next weekend and no clubs are using it. Juz talked me out of enquiring for a private hire and a mass club mail out lol.

Well, me being a fark knuckle compnay man. ..my leave has been postponed and my flight diverted to Singapore to fix fark up on a job. They are telling me its will only eb a few days but that means i wont have any time to work on the car....thats assuming i am not there for my entire two week holiday before returning to Inida on the 15th ! SO depressed right now, every time i make plans and get excited, work farks them up. I cant wait to quit this job, hopefully in the next week or two. Oer 6 years with them and whilst its good to be the go to guy, other people are treated and paid like royalty, whilst...well i stil cant afford anyting better then an R32 GTST :(

Awesome session

I think it was a 1.35 , 1:18 then 1.17.02 then 17.2 then 16.6

Very impressive to watch and well worth waiting out the rain and wind.

Quickest car on the day by far, as the fat ambo said "that ice burner should go alright"

Car looks so well sorted. Have to ask, has there been a change to the final drive ratio? Looks like you are pulling gears at about the same places so doesnt appear to be that different gear wise. Your power down is so much better then before, seems to help being in 3rd rather then 2nd onto the straights as well.

So, i am dieing to find out...what is the change? Rear diffuser and wing? Change in suspension and alignment? Car looks mega stable...but i am sure there was more to your wheel work then there was your footwork :domokun:

LOL, also sounds like no more gate :) Perhaps you should do a Red Bull and plumb your gate to your rear diffuser...yeh, that it, thats your big secret :)

    • I couldn't agree more. As an owner of a built high HP skyline, I'd be a hypocrite to not buy a Hummer for the reasons you listed though haha. 
    • Hahaha oh shit! Again!
    • Is this the one? https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php?id_product=2192&rewrite=nissan-stagea-c34-rear-boot-actuator-assembly-90550-0v000 Might be worth having a look at yahoo japan as well. Though it seems a bit odd. If the motor works itself, other than being noisy, then wouldn't it be more likely that it's an electrical issue somewhere else? And it being noisy does not seem as surprising if it has been chugging away for months  
    • I know this thread is quite old, but I found it, it helped me, but I also wanted to add my experience and troubleshooting finds to the chat for others. I have not been able to open the rear hatch of my 97 Stagea for several months. Figured it had just really sealed itself up over the winter and I would just get to it eventually. Well that day was yesterday. Some time ago, I noticed my battery was going flat all the time. It was frustrating. Then one quiet night in the garage, I could hear and ever so slight humming / grinding noise coming from the back of the car. It was like a really quiet popping sound or something like sand in a very low speed blender. I took off the panels in the back and noticed the noise coming from the auto close motor, so I unplugged it and the noise stopped. And the auto close was disabled. Well, fast forward to yesterday, I tried all the tricks with power and fuse and lock and unlock and I still could open the damn hatch. So I took off the panels from the inside and found the auto lock had engaged and was stuck in close position. When plugging and unplugging the fuse, I could hear the relay clicking. So I plugged the autoclose motor back in, and the damn thing let go. And immediately started making that grinding sound again. This time, instead of just unplugging the motor, I pulled the fuse, thus depowering the relay entirely. I don't have the autoclose feature now, but at least I can open the boot and not have my battery being sucked dead all the time. Not sure what caused the motor to latch when it was unplugged from the system, but I am pretty sure it won't cause any more problems now.  If anyone has a lead on a new motor, please let me know. It's a cool feature that I would like to get back.  Hope this helps.
    • Lolololol maybe, man I hate this car. Lapsed judgement a respray and a new motor, when I should have just scrapped the lot when I had the chance. Farken.
