Hi,

For those of you who have been to a few track days, you'll know that it’s pretty much the best fun you can have in a car.

I enjoyed the Skyline days so much that I've signed up for a real racing series, the MoPro Cup.

Unfortunately, I'm not racing a Skyline. Instead the series is for identical Daewoo Lanos (or should that be Lanii?), and we've just finished the first round at Oran Park. As all the cars are identical, results come down to driver ability, and this creates incredibly close racing.

The reason I am posting this is that I'm looking for assistance in the form of sponsorship for the series.

The cost of this sponsorship is $200 per round, that's just $1000 for the rest of the series.

Your $1000 will get you:

* Coverage on my car for the next 5 rounds.

* My support of your product whenever possible (eg. after race speeches, distributing information at races, racing apparel and any other opportunities you can think of)

* Free entry to the remaining 5 rounds (the next round is Eastern Creek on 22-23 June)

* 100% tax deductibility for your company (claim it on your next BAS!)

* Hot laps at Sponsor drive days (the first is next Saturday, 25th May at Oran Park)

Of course, we are willing to discuss other packages, dependent on your business's budget.

Specific opportunities

* If you sell import cars, the crowds and competitors at these events are (not surprisingly) interested in performance cars. I saw 2x Skylines, 2x 180SXs, and a 22B WRX among the crowds (not to mention the Pulsar GTI-Rs, FTOs, Familias and WRXs racing in various groups.)

* If you have a performance or motoring related business, the spectators are obviously interested in performance parts or services.

* If you have a unique business product this is a unique way to market it at a reasonable price!

If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact me via [email protected].

As long as we have an agreement in place by Friday (24/5), you are welcome to attend the day at Oran Park next Saturday to see first hand how fast and close these cars really are. If not, there will be future hot lap opportunities, and of course the other coverage as described above.

I would also appreciate you passing this opportunity to any other potential business owners you know who love their cars and motor sport. Long term, I'd like to be racing a Nissan, and this is really a stepping stone towards that goal.

Thanks for your support,

Duncan Handley,

Future GTP Champion in a Nissan!

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/

      Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
