WTF, no long sleeve Super Lap t shirts.

On a positive note, Awesome turn out, lots of shiny bits in the stalls and lots of nice people.

Also the double choc with nuts ice creams me and my daughter had were sweeeeet.

I only got out there for a couple of hours on Friday arvo. My camera went flat, but I managed to get a few pics....

1.33's for the 'Handbrake' r35 and 1.32's for the Gt Auto r35 is pretty impressive for a 'shakedown' weekend.

YESSS toe master.. we did good. john was heaps happy with the 1.35 boston did in it in the morning session, pitty the engine expired and one of the air filters caught fire in the second session. stock bottom end vq30 7900rpm 20 psi. ish.. head gasket failure or some bent rods. i will find out soon i suspect.. either way it wont turn over.

Bugger, I spoke to JP last night and it sounded like there was a bit of fiddling around getting it sorted yesterday. He was copping some shite for his aero work two years ago, now it looks pretty pedestrian compared to some of the wilder efforts out there.

He was pretty happy with the relative performance of the batmobarge since it is (was) still running a stock bottom end.

Anyway that looks like a pretty good time by Boston.

Awesome weekend. Was great to meet people face to face from SAU forums. Thanks for coming to say hi.

I'm so happy with how my car went. 1:42.43 was quicker than i expected.

So many little things in this last few days that had to be sorted but it all came together thanks to good people around me willing to help out.

Whats the rumor about Cyber accusing Sierra Sierra of running naws? great pits etc but on track was boring as bat shit. 10 mins of nothing, cars go out, 2 mins red flag, repeat. Drifting started great, then went the same way. Seemed like no-one knew what was happening out there..

Russ....awesome time mate beating some impressive cars out there - well done! :thumbsup:

Lol looks like I've got no hope of keeping in front of you at the Vic tracks now :blink:

Unfortunately that is the way pretty much all 'big' events have gone over the last couple of years. The organizers need to figure out very early on if they want a participants event or a spectators event.

i really dont have a problem with it, thats what the sports like people really dont need to be stimulated by something every 10 seconds do they ?

oh and which 32 was yours russman there were one or two there that sounded f**king angry as down the straight

thanks for lending me a 13mm spanner to fix our brake master cyl on friday :)

mayby i should wide body my r32gtr.... needs to fit big rubber

Ahh. Dave... I didn't put the forum name to the face haha.

Shame about the head gasket but good to see a decent time first! You and John would be happy I assume?

Don't worry bout wide body, Just get a hammer out! it's what we did haha

Mine had silver front guards. Has a screamer so probably the one you're thinking of.

    • 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 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
