hmm link works for me. Results are on their home page rather than their 'Results' page at this stage.

Isn't the other Skyline in your group a GTST? if so, it shouldn't be in SV, its not 4wd... or was there another GTR there on the day?

Yeah the grey R32 was GTSt that guy was telling me all sorts "it can go off the clock, I've had it to 360km's per hour". I was a bit like :P

Pretty sure I was the only GTR there! Aww there webpage isnt working for me...

He didn't do too badly considering he was a 2wd in a 4wd class, there is approx 3-4 seconds between my GTR and GTST at the SDMA hillclimb at Fairbairn. According to the results, your GTR did 33.51 and the GTST did 34.42

SDMA would have put the GTST into Type 2 and if there were mods Type 3. I'll have to read the supp regs and try to work out why SV for the GTST.

Yep he did really well, was good off the line too :D They didn't put my third/last run down on results which was a 32.96, I got given the post it note when I finished my run :blink:

Are you pumped for the hillclimb??

I wish I was entered, but have a skidpan day on :(

Sat up almost all night last night with my truck packed ready to go... but the rain just wouldn't break :)

So went to the skid pan/back track on Sutton road instead for some training with Dereck at 5th Gear.

Yes true, but I would have liked to have a better look at the track before the Australian Hillclimb Championships which is the next event there.

GTSTs are in SV D as they are a low volume import. not sold in australia in full volume. it's ironic that 32 GTRs can run in type 2 etc as they were sold here by nissan, but a GTST or silvia is automatically in SV.

Hmmm I guess different clubs have different regulations - have a look at SDMA (my local club) where they only put the GTRs in SV because of 4wd and they put the GTST in Type 2, which is only fair, my little GTST couldn't compete with the GTRS and if she were heavily modded, she would need to go in type 3.

http://www.sdmahillclimb.com/ then click on highlighted text in the body of the home page "types and classes"

I was running one in each class for a while.

Why don't we get more of you guys down for this?

      New owner of a Skyline R32 GTS

      Nice car! Looking at your GTS; makes me wonder why I bought a GTS-t... Everything has been changed anyway. I should have just started with a non turbo model.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Rear doors central locking wiring removed and cleaned. See the first 8sec video of when it’s filled with river silt. its a snip of what I’m up against. front and rear doors complete now. Maybe another day removing carpet and bits and pieces. Then the re assembly begins. 🤙 att.DqweJqhY5MZiZYQDVMhn3LtvdD1RBZ7TBG4f2s7W1zM.mp4 att.lFuN22MZEowqCbFAXoDw009r2gHL76ChMVfxMfBX-uk.mp4

      Dual exhaust questions

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      By 32.det · Posted

      Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
