Hi SAU,

     After over 8 years Im finally back! Looks like my R35 has landed from Jap and I will hopefully have my fat ass back into a GTR after many a year without one. I look forward to catching up with a few of the old school SAU people, hopefully a few a still rolling around!

Hi Prank! Yes mate things are good, both the kids and I have grown up a lot! No track weapon for me, we finally needed a 2nd car and Big Red jumped at the chance to see a GTR back in the garage. I have a 100% stock R35 2008 just landed, hopefully on the road in a couple of weeks. We spent last weekend getting one of my work makes R35 looking the part, same colour as mine. My wife spent the last 4 yrs working for the AU Auto Glim distributer so we have all the gear!

Hopefully that means no more Ford Territory at motorkhanas then!

No it will be a new CX9 actually Duncan, at least this one has a turbo! 100% need to go learn to drive this new 35, so a skid pan or wet texakhana is needed! I trust all is good with you!

Yeah once process is finished it does not look like a 14yr old car! Its a must for all RED GTR's, it has the Ultra High Definition ceramic coat applied. Long process 10hrs in total but then its good for 2yrs.

I checked the events page, lots of social drives but no skid days or track days, who runs these events now days?

We are still doing them but it’s just gotten expensive! I’m not sure if you’re still in the loop but Wakefield park has been reduced to operate only 4 days a month now due to land and environment 😑

I’m working on trying to get a motorkhana booked in which we are trying to get available dates at EC but motorsports had just become so expensive 😔

Also with Covid and everything being cancelled constantly made it very hard to book something and guarantee it would go ahead. Now that everything has settled (for now) we are trying to get more events going including Motorsport types events 

also eastern creek is very much trying to cater only to the very well off and forgetting about the grass roots guys

Yeah they have been doing that for 10 years ever since they pulled Moto concepts out of the game. If they only realised it stops people doing silly things on the street.

Congrats Paul! It looks fantastic. I do miss your black beast some days though! 

 

Hi DIF, I will send you a PM with someone I was looking at, price looked ok, I just wanted to see if you guys have used them before.

19th November, All Jap Day (Roll Racing's version, not to be confused with All Japan Day lol). Mix of a kind of Power cruise, timed circuit racing and Roll Racing all in one day.

A few of the forum members including myself are going. Might be a relatively cheap event at Eastern Creek to stretch the car's legs.

OK sealed the purchase of my new 35 today, the Red one turned up and the paint was degraded and the car was a bit weathered and I was not happy. Anyway found this beauty and snapped it up today. So clean, it so does not look like a 14yr old car. Pick it up with 12 months Rego tomorrow and spend the weekend getting a ceramic coat on it so it will look bling! Here are some crap pics, some better lighting ones to come over the weekend once I have played with the paint. I also ordered GTR08P plates (Silver on Black) because someone still has my MADGTR plates somewhere! No mods 100% stock with 49,000kms. Grade 4.5 C, with some hair line cracks in the dash which is the only complaint. Im a happy boy!

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      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.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.

      Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
