Todays results from a track day at Sandown. Look what's above the m2 competition. Yes the 33 is nowhere near stock but neither is the bm. Johnny, your boat would chop both those cars and you'd have plenty of $ left for hookers and coke.Screenshot_20200309_181905_com.android.chrome.thumb.jpg.bd2ee49195d9de65eeb88a8178ebc14a.jpg

I'm going to the drag strip tomorrow Pete, hope you're there to support me!

Also shameless plug, who needs a 180AMP alternator? these ones:

Same as what Andrew Hawkins has in his car... PM me I can do a mad price.

Ive just shown my boss ( who is a BMW fanatic through and through ) those Sandown results and pointed out that the R33 GTST is faster than the BMW M2 Comp !

He wouldn't believe it ! 

Gotta luv it !

To add to that, my own 33 gtst with a simple highflow turbo has run a 1:22.7  (2 tenths off that m2), driven to and from track and is a daily driver albeit slightly less comfortable than an m2 comp.

But won’t impress chicks, just dudes, so there is that to consider.....

Na poofs are more impressed by bm's and golf r's. Chicks love skyline's, the spool gets em wet and the panties drop.

I'll try Johnny but we are running trial batches of hand sanitizers this arvo.

So I'll see how I go !

So . . . . . if you threw $40K at your skyline how fast would it be ?

AND youd have a $100K in change ! Yay !

I reckon 40k will get me to the top of that time sheet. Close enough to it anyway. 

Skylines have been doing sub 1:20's for many years, I remember old Big Red R32 videos cracking 1:16's.

This is heavily driver and balls specific at least at Sandown... but yes M2's aren't actually that amazing in the real world. They will get dispatched quite easily by a Mustang with tyres: (which is what the PP2 setup is)

M2's are at 1:22, 1:25 and 1:30, damn driver mod skewing the results :P

Corvid19 has destroyed my Putty Rd adventures !

I think I've now got a form of driving cabin fever.

What to do . . . . . . . 

This has been keeping me sane with the tracks closed ATM. Plenty of different games with mods out there for hills driving.
100% worth the cost and less likely to be pulled over :4_joy:

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to come I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
