No worries I made it out for a look anyway. The rain and oil on the road made it interesting.

Yep couldn't do much! We were unlucky and missed the dry line that was appearing in the arvo.... But it was a bit of fun anyway!

Hey guys...

Im on the hunt for a light vehicle engineer that I can consult in regards to my current build.

Can anyone reccommend someone good?

How about Syriops?

There's a tech Arvo coming up for members in May.

Glad you had fun and got it home in one piece.

Any idea if the go kart can run at the next event?

Yeah it should be able too man! Nulon called the club and booked out the whole event, i dont think they bother running them due to lack of numbers from what i heard... I dunno why they lack numbers though, i would be back there in a heartbeat to actually get one decent run there!!!!

If you really are keen lets work on something later in the year, we will need solid numbers to make it happen!

How about Syriops?

In Forster and looking to sell my 350GT Skyline , I had the APS Twin Turbo System added, lots of torque from the V6 , so with the TT it goes :woot:

$30k, ONO , only 50,000Klms on the clock and only Minor imperfections

Doing a RB30/Nitto 3.2Lt rebuild on my R34GTR and need a few extra $s :yes:

Nice little sleeper you have there!

Yeh thanks , had a lot of fun with it, not many know what it is , and only found out reading the bumper logo , 350GT skyline, but no TT. It may not be the old style but an ass kicker and a head turner even though it is now 12 years old :wub: going to miss it :wub::action-smiley-069:

But going to get the R34 moving with a 3.2 stroker, I reckon 400AWKW ish with a lot torque response will be a blast :woot::woot::woot::woot:

I'm surprised he didn't call it a maxima

Well there is a blast from the past ;) How you been Martin??

Been good, busy but good

Between working, racing and house stuff haven't had any time for anything lately.

House stuff nearly done and racing on Sunday at Ringwood. New truck is in use now.

How's you and yours going?

Sounds good mate! Hope the house is going well... We have been interstate a bit and off thrashing the car as often as we can :D

Ooh let me know how the new track goes :yes:

We are off to Wakefield again!

I'm surprised he didn't call it a maxima

Why call it a Maxima, if anything a fat 350Z but it has SKYLINE stamped into the back of it, so I will go with the name on the back :)

What "02 Skyline"is yours?

Daughter lost the spare keys to my R34GTR and cannot get a new one in Forster, anyone doing them in Newie ??

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
