Put the Tarzan G sensor in this evening :) . 15mins work so is easy as.

Too dark to go try it out now :( , so will give it a burl tomorrow morn. :D

While I was putting it in I noticed some Gear Box oil on the base of my C's short shifter and over the rubber boot.

Called ESP for advice. Cleaned it off and will keep an eye on it.

Might need to have a kit through it (shift bushing/plastic ring and the thin insulation seal).

As per above. I Tested the Tarzan G Sensor out this morning. (Seat of the pants testing)

A definite improvement and worth while :yes: even for the normal to spirited driving that I do :yes:. If your doing track work then I believe the benefits would be even greater.

(I suppose so would a cheap Torque controller set to 7 on the dial)

Cabin torque dial actually moving under normal acceleration off the lights :) and up through the gears. You feel it and you see it - Win!

It's progressive and reflects what your doing - depressing accelerator and it's shifting power to the front.

- rather than heavy acceleration and 4WD coming on late (unsettling car). I used to do this just to see if the Attessa is working.

Tested it out on a corner I take every day turning right on the roundabout and then halfway round a quick left to get off it.

Normally I fight the car on the left turn from spearing off to the right. Not today :D went exactly where I pointed her.

GTR feels more sure footed off the mark and around corners, especially accelerating out the other side. There is no just on or off it's more progressive / linear.

It's definitely more responsive making it feel like it has more power/grunt under acceleration from the getgo. Attessa (4wd) is definitely on ALOT quicker.

As everyone knows I am impatient and waiting, even a second or two longer, gives me the shits. (hence -7's)

Slight improvement under braking (ABS). I can feel it but nothing to write a rant about.

Sorry if my rant sounds like an advertisement. Experiences may be different but for me a big improvement.

Before I am asked - YES my OEM G Sensor works perfectly as it was designed too - This G works ALOT better.

Very satisfying that it works properly. :thumbsup: correct install.

Some oil on your shifter? hahahahaha! im turning into a black man from getting stuck into mine.

to you a bugsplat is like a bunny through the engine fan for me.

Totally different class of car, i cant believe they come from the same factory hahaha!

Drove to Sydney, got Helga a pink slip, RTA wouldn't accept my transfer due to not living in the NSW :/ lucky dad moved there this year. Maybe next weekend I will travel back there and sort it out. Hopefully i can slap 6months on it.

a fair n quick trip early in the morn.

I'll be heading up tomoz to pick something up.

Lucky I'll only be up there for an hour. (hate the place :verymad: - not the people :wub: )

well not ALL of them :whistling:

Wish I knew you were heading up. You could of saved me the trip :rant:

Last night went round to Robs to pick up a sedan pair of foggies I purchased as I prefer these over the normal coupe ones. While I was there we also slapped on a sedan grill just for shits and giggles to see how it looked over my m spec grill. And I think I actually prefer the sedan stuff... Maybe I should have just bought a sedan.. :/

Anyway, foggies installed this morning. Think it looks much nicer this way :D

Chris that looks awesome! nice one.

Grill looks fat too especially the dark grey vs the silver. :)

Picked up a series 2 33 wing I stole on Ebay from Kambah, then drove the Uriarra to Cotter to Point Hut twisties. :D

So much fun and fuel.

I vote we do a drive/cruise on the Uriarra road. Heaps more drive than the last Cotter run..

:woot:

Mad! Yeah I like the contrast from the silver to the black. Am wondering what black foggy grills would look like.

I went out past Point Hut and Tidbinbilla for those photos today haha. Was good fun apart from the road work they are doing there...

Yeah Uriarra road is a longer one :)

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
