Nice! I quite like the editing on the photo, sort of a washed out kinda look.

Kicking myself for not getting the head lights cleaned before hand

I've enjoyed having the car back and driving it over the past week, makes me appreciate it more when it's been off the road

So the only thing I've got left to buy is a plazmaman plenum and TB to go with the rest of the upgrades that will go in sometime after trackday next month

I've been looking at a few cosmetic things over the past few days, just to tidy the car up a bit. One thing I've been looking at and reading up on is putting RB26 covers on the 25 head

The 26 covers do look better and from what I've read it is doable with little to no modification.

Just something to think about over the next few months

I've noticed since getting the turbo rebuilt that I'm getting like a surging feeling when slowly bringing the car on boost around 3-4k rpm. It was happening before I blew the turbo but it wasn't this bad

I thought it could of been few things, fuel pump letting go, BOV starting to die, wastegate on the turbo being a bit flimsy.

I did notice that for some unknown bloody reason, the boost solenoid was burnt....

Thinking this was the cause (hoping actually lol) I went and picked up a second hand one from SKyline Spares, changed it over and took the car for a drive. Hoping for a quick $30 fix was too much, this wasn't the cause.

So after a service last night myself and my mechanic took the car for a spin. Once he felt what the car was doing around 3-4k rpm he knew it was the BOV causing the problem. So we'll fit this up either friday or saturday.

My best at EC is 13.6 and I've been told by my mates and mechanic that with the power the car has got, my times should be a little better than this.

Perfect launch, perfect gear change, foot to the floor but I could never get any better than 13.6, so I've always put this down to my driving on the night and never really thought it could be a problem with the car

After diagnosing the surging feeling in the car last night, my mechanic decided to "test the car". 1st and 2nd gear feels really strong but when in 3rd, it's lacking some power.

So either the cams aren't keeping up, maybe the stock ones are too small for the GTRS or the VCT is causing the problem (I know the VCT is playing up as this was one of the things Scott @Insight mentioned)

We'll play around with the car on friday and saturday and see if we can work this out

At least I know now the crappy times at EC isn't me

[RiseofBrutality]

So shiny

[RiseofBrutality]

So the stock BOV had this....

[Artic Choc]

lol turns out mine had the coke can mod too... much fun isnt it!

i still need to find a new gasket for mine coz the one im using is bent as

[jake26]

Mine had a blocker plate too, got sick of it after a while, it was overfuelling as well and would crack some mad flames just changing gears. Started doing it too much and I didn't want to damage the turbine so I took it off

Another SAU trackday has come and gone. I had a blast!!!

I knocked off 3 seconds off my PB from last year in the first session, now at a 1:15

My best each session was in the 1:15 which I am happy with.

I had Nick (levinboy) jump in with me for a passenger session. Even though I didn't knock off any big times after having him in the car, I did learn a lot and it gives me a fair bit to work on for next time

[RiseofBrutality]

I'll upload a few of the sessions once I go through the footage from monday

[gtr jet]

Awesome pics mate. Lookin good!

[34GeeTeeTee]

Its all about learning mate!

With the mods you have lined up in the near future you will be taking chunks off your PB in no time!
