Sara and I competed in a SuperSprint Round at Carnell last weekend. Sunday morning was -6Deg. I got up early, nature was calling. There was no running water in the loo, all the pipes had frozen! good pics though.

HAha, thats brings back memories, used to live up that way when i was a kid..I live in melbourne now but these people dont know what cold is, waking up with all our pipes frozen, ice hanging of everything and the dogs bucket of water frozen solid..Worse bit was cause the ice on the windscreen is so thick youd have to drive with the window open to see where your going, it was f**king freeeeeezin...

But once the sun comes up and melts it the air is sooo fresh..I miss that... :P

Well Chris, I can't spaek for the others but, I work all day at my normal job (teaching kids how to bash shit with hammers) and then i go home, to my shed and, work on other peopls shit till about 6 or 7, have some dindin's and, go back to the shed and, play with my shit till the boss gets home from work at about 11:30 at night. Thats when I usually pull the laptop out and chill for a while before bed.

How did your car go over the weekend? What times were you lapping?

I'm pretty keen to head back out there again, would love to do more than just a one lap dash.

Its a shame the council limits the days the track can be used....

Times, well. The boss, she was running in the low 38's with an un tuned 3s drift pig on street 595 shitters. Tough class for her, sportsedan over 3L.

I got into the 35's. 2nd in class and 3rd outright. Lost to true track cars.

1st, FC RX7 sportsedan 35.13,

2nd, 500 hp VK IPRA 35.68,

3rd, My R33GTST road reg, full weight inc spare wheel and jack, 36.72.

PB in my Yellow Race R33GTST 34.6

      There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
