I tend to leave from Northcote at 5:45am, though I don't stop on the way. Note I don't go through Cranbourne either - I head towards Pakenham on the Freeway and cut down Koo Wee Rup Road.

Went down to Chasers to have the engine checked out, don't know if the other garage's instrument read low last time but compression was again even but up at around 160 per cylinder, leak down test was also very good. Looks like I can continue to target my money at the rear suspension and possibly Paul Ruzic EM Pro to provide engine monitoring to keep it so - currently just have standard dash.

good news on the comp test, just keep it cool and fill it with fresh oil frequently and bobs your uncle!

i'd love to throw some money at the rear end in my car, it's a constant struggle trying to keep it straight.

have fun at the island!

putting 300kw through my stock rear end was a nightmare at Sandown I just couldnt get on it anywhere but the straights, even then it was point and shoot but dont pull the trigger to hard

...wasnt too bad at PI though, just drove like a normal car but faster,only on the tight tight handers it wanted to step out :D

1.5Way KAAZ or NISMO diff is a must. it's $1500 worth of kit, but money well spent.

This is what Birds was telling me.

How much of a difference did you notice? Just traction out of corners or....?

Yeah diff and brakes is the last big spend I have really..It will have to wait though so in the meantime I will just cruise around and learn the road..

And swaybars..mind of I ask what sizes you run John or is it secret squirrel business..

Adjustable Whiteline Front, there is only one size 24mm.

Fixed Whitline Rear, 20mm.

The diff changes the way the car behaves, not only under power but off power into corners. It's less sloppy and more direct, the change on the road is equally as good. Rob in the black 33 just changed from the stock diff to a KAAZ 1.5 way recently.

GTR is different. The GTR rear subframe is different so is the front (obvious reasons there, front diff)

27mm for the front of the ECR33 is fixed mate. That would be terrible, unless you like massive understeer all the time.

My entry was confirmed by email yesterday too, as scrutiny opens at 7:30 I guess we would need to be there around that time, especially with up to 140 entrants.

I will be meeting other drivers at McDonalds Cranbourne at 6am if you want to get a quick bite and head down with us.

cool, i'll try to make it by then however i'll probably be running late and miss you guys.

What a gorgeous day, looking forward to tomorrow. Where are you planning to park up, if early, close to cafe or at far end of garages near the garage used as the entrance to pit lane?

^^ Was pushed up beside the scrutineering shed, didn't look good.

Pretty happy with my new PB of 1:56, not bad for a 2 ton car I thought. lol.

My gearbox let me down again, perhaps time for a manual conversion?

      I love my R32 interior but then I also love the generic 90's nissan vibe from R33s/S14s/Pulsars etc 100%

      I have seen this happen in cases like the R33 GTR where they eliminated the ATTESA actuator rod retaining clip to save 5 cents. Parts diagram references it, the actual part doesn't. Also if you try and look up the specific retaining clip on an R33 GTR it resolves to nothing. But it exists on R32 GTRs as I discovered a week or two ago.

      The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
