No problem. Appreciate you looking for me though.

So just got back from a few days in Tassie.  Was a great trip that included some laps at Symmons Plains and Baskerville

 

Finally started to get the car sorted, though the borrowed GoPro proved to be less than great

And Symmons Plains vid. God I was losing time under brakes and off the start finish straight. Tough place to work out whether its 2nd or 3rd. Anyway...good fun. Baskerville was better seat time and started to get my head around driving the girl after years of little driving

Of course. Never getting rid of the old girl. Sandown went well yeterday. Definitely need some new tyres as they are rather square now :)

PB with a 1:19.77

Not happy with the 4.1 diff and need to go back to 4.3 ratio. But good to be consitently getting some laps in the car as I still suck

Its a shitbox too...The Motec and EFR sitting on the bench will hopefully help it break more driveline parts :)  Christ, had it 12 years . Time for another English shitter

I should actually swap beakes. 370mm 6 pot APs for street car and 343mm 4 pot on club car!?!?!? 🤔

I love my old school Weds but having used a set of Pagid RS29s and rotors down to 30.5mm after only really 8 track days I think it's time for 18s :(

Nope, keep the purity wheels and just change pads when you need to. Depending how many session you did, 8 days is a lot of work.

Plus, tyres in 17s are cheaper and more compliant than 18s for the same diameter.

Yeh,  I found a place that does 68 vane 343mm rotors so hoping going from 42 to 68 with some better ducting will keep them alive

 

For all those reasons I have kept the 17s Uncle Dunc....32s just don't look as good with 18s. But the 343mm does limit the 17" wheels you can run to basically LM GT4, TE37s or Weds TC

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
