Wow Steve thanks for the generosity! :eek:

I just called Dan (Majanal) and passed on your 3 bookings. At the moment the places are tight but it has a history of all working out on the day. If you tell your contact to find Dan at the SAU BBQ and introduce himself he'll work it out.

See you there.

Dino :(

Just a general comment (may disappoint fatz, though), the track will stay dry with anything less than heavy rain as the cars go round.  Bit of drizzle makes very little difference to grip.

This is True Duncan, it will be pretty dry on the "race" line... but the drift line tends to be a bit different and may possibly be a little wetter... opps, should not have said that... now everyone will be drifting and I'll have to learn to drift on the racing line... oh well, thems the brakes, or no brakes in pranks case!

I completely smashed my rear diff tonight at Eastern Creek Drags, so I'm a non-starter for tomorrow :)

WOW!

I thought you wen't going out to the drags. Temptation too great hey?:D

Just an after thought... for all those newbies.

Meet at pit garage 31-34 for morning BBQ and sign in forms DO NOT see the motoconcepts people

Call me if any difficulties (0414 940 938),

Dan.

I was there for a brief period.. :D But one round with Bonkers

made my day.... :) Thanks Bonks...

Was good to finally meet Fatz and Duncan...

I thought Fatz was used to smokin it up in his car so he

should have had no problems with the BBQ....

btw: thanks for the parts fatz..

Great day girls,

Good to finally meet you Paul & Julian et al !!

Dan, thanks for the ride man - truely awsome !

God Damn film I took last didn't wind on properly, hence missed out on all Petes dorifto. I only ended up with one. Will post it later.

The Skylines definitley made the day out there.

Anyone know fastest lap time for the day ??

Eastern Creek never disapoints. Good to meet those of you that said hello.

Thanks to JustJap for the gear knob, im a cheap ass and have needed a new one since i bought the car. Care to raffle off a HKS2835 turbo kit???

Interested in getting video footage of the day, or any other for that matter, in-car, outside, drifting, or just cooool shots, as i will be giving some tapes to my mate to edit (works in broadcasting) and distribute to anyone interested. He usually does a great job, doing vids for the MG Car Club that he is a member of.

I have about 50mb of in car video from pauls car

i need somewhere to put them!

i cant put them on the space i have because hsc results and uais come out for the next day or so and we are getting over 30,000 hits a day so the server cant take much more!! plus its donated space and i dont want to piss anyone off :)

    • It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)
    • But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.
    • GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
    • I promise there will be no chance of replacing the rad support....  It is barely twisted and it's way more likely to just be driven around with a slightly twisty support. As long as the headlight can be bolted in there then no harm no foul lol. The reo may need to be un-bent a little but truth be told if it all somewhat lines up and is hidden when the car is assembled the level of f**ks will be 0.0 
    • this thread delivers, once again Skyline owners, our cars spend more time off the road than on the road
