I started to clean up and detail the rear wing as well

IMG_4926_zps2250c4f1.jpg

is actually a time consuming job but worth it in the end

Time to remove that nismo sticker I had on the back of the rear wing to make things smoother

I sourced some OEM parts thanks to my good friend Robbie $$slowmedown and even got to meet Marcus elrodeo666 who is a top bloke

IMG_0833_zps25aded09.jpg

but before any of this goes on I wanted to make certain I rust proof that wing

IMG_0839_zps58625737.jpg

these brackets were going to get the treatment of lifetime

IMG_0841_zps6920c1f8.jpg

first some rust-guard primer

IMG_1017_zpscd794843.jpg

and then some anti-rust black (final) coat

I also decided to paint strip and lightly sand the rear wing stay pods

then give them a coat of this

again dupli*color DSSB01 (closest thing to Nissan Crystal White)

I haven't put a coat of clear on yet but will do so next time I take them off and then sand them down and cut to perfection

Want to work on my car for a few months ants?

I like how you've removed the nismo off the rear wing. I reckon the one on the bonnet should go too. What do you think?

lol bring the car around and I will

I will have to agree Scottie and will also remove the front nismo sticker

However, I have some other things to post up for now

I'll just trade you cars for the month mate... Feel the 3L power!

Then I can rack up the km's on yours and feel that AWD acceleration

that sounds like a great idea scottie - I will have to test drive the Scottie mobile someday and you can test drive mine :)

How much where the gaskets and Brackets? Mine is exactly the same :/

Its actually a common thing mate, and as the cars are aging it will become more and more susceptible to car cancer

All up it costs me less than $100 (still exy for what it is but thats Nissan)

Brackets were $55

Gaskets were supplied by Robbie at $40

Track time!

well firstly..........................................

I gave the ant-eater some fresh blood and filter because I :wub: her

one very early Sunday morning (5:00am)

IMG_1087_zps241cd9ee.jpg

On the way to Lakeside Parkway (raceway) - fog!

IMG_1086_zpsa65a1a9a.jpg

Fog was indeed foggy

IMG_1088_zpsd127c9f3.jpg

but then the sunrise changed everything

IMG_1089_zpsd9caf56e.jpg

IMG_1091_zpsd370b9fc.jpg

after a little detour (thanks to shitty Iphail maps) I reached LP

IMG_1093_zps99007b79.jpg

IMG_1096_zpsce9aa3d1.jpg

our time on track (just happy laps) was in conjunction with the QLD EVO OWNERS CLUB which made things exciting

IMG_1103_zpsbfc53415.jpg

after a brief discussion with QR officials we were good to go

IMG_1109_zpsc71aa1b6.jpg

IMG_1113_zps9b3ff21d.jpg

IMG_1111_zpsae760d2a.jpg

IMG_1108_zpsc2de2184.jpg

Can I say that I had a ball of a time and finally got use the cars full power on that straight

IMG_1115_zps0e276bcc.jpg

Being my first outing on track with this much power I was driving very cautiously but could certainly feel that the car needs much work with the suspension

IMG_1098_zps3a518b51.jpg

still had an amazing day and all can say is that its addictive and will not be the last time I go on track - a new chapter has started for this car ;)

a small video from an emo of the track time

another early Sunday morning

IMG_1397_zps2148bea3.jpg

arrived at QR without any problems, however...................

IMG_1425_zps50152da0.png

it was nice and cold!

dd545651-1f3c-43c7-af0b-269cf20f4652_zps

this R33 GTR was just amazing

time to go on track

IMG_1466_zpscc7e534f.jpg

IMG_1468_zpsfca06995.jpg

had so much fun

we were on track for almost an hour - I finally feel the tyres gripping and instantly feel more confident and the car was handling very well, but that QR track can be brutal on brakes (mine were smokin lol)

IMG_1409_zpse3e0be08.jpg

Certainly enjoy finally been able to use the car for what its built for :)

I had some water under my rear boot lip which caused some nice and abstract art at the back with the unburnt fuel

IMG_1413_zpsbcab6ca7.jpg

IMG_1412_zpsa3de05da.jpg

IMG_1418_zps765a1247.jpg

IMG_1419_zpsec3a75bd.jpg

but I got her nice and cleaned up when I got home

heres some video footage with expert on board commentary

Knowing that I want this car to find more grip and handle better it was time to get some new performance parts :banana:

IMG_1600_zpse86c4b8f.jpg

whiteline fever baby!

IMG_1599_zps82956d63.jpg

Whiteline front heavy duty adjustable sway bar (22mm)

IMG_1598_zps2ec7f337.jpg

Whiteline rear heavy duty adjustable sway bar (24mm)

IMG_1528_zpsb088c1b1.jpg

    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
    • yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
    • Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?
    • Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
