Happy Birthday Mate - saw your name on the roll call

##years old - The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything.

Some of you may not know Jayce as he doesn't post often nowdays. For those who do join me in this birthday wish!.

One of the nicest guys you will ever meet. A real SAU enthusiast and he organised and particpated in most local events.

He organised for number of years a table at that place on the main circle in Braddon for us during Summernats.

Was a constant with me and a fair few others during the " Trivia" nights at Jerra Pub every second Tuesday for a few years.

Legendary nights and very memorable things happend on these nights :cheers:

He owns a Unicorn. A 1994 R32 Vspec II

'We' say that now as it's a rare beast and hasn't been seen for about 5years now.

It's one of 2 that I know of that was bought new by a performance garage in Japan.

They painted both in a pearl white and I beleive both are in Aus.

Jayce took it off the road in great running order and trim to rebuild and repaint it. Why I dont know !!

It was better than mine is now when he garaged it. :yes:

Happy birthday!

"The Answer" man that brings back some memories, i loved it so much when i was a kid/teenager i could quote almost the whole radio play.

"Whats so bad about being drunk? Ask a glass of water"

And us not being descended from apes, but actually from used car salesmen, and advertising account executives, really makes sense in a sick kind of way.

:laugh:

Awww, thanks crew. Especially you, Rich'! I know I've been very quiet, both in general and here on the forums.

The kind words actually brought a happy tear to the eye(I can be a big sook at times ?), and it couldn't have come at a better time...

You'll see a lot more of me shortly, and if all goes well there will be some forward progress on my little bit of mischief that's been too quiet for too long...

I'm back! ?

    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
    • I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe 
    • One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
    • Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.
