So it looks like the 18th & 19th September at Phillip Island. Its a big ask but if Geoff and i get our hands dirty then im a chance. As soon as the mechanics fix my door we can get started on getting the thing running again.

And im being serious, does anyone know of a cheap daily driver getting around, Say under 2k.

Bring it on mate. I'll show you why the army trained me as a rapid combat repair specialist. As the saying goes "It doesn't take me all day to do a days work"

I'm now in the process of ensuring the turbo stays tight and getting the brake pedal height adjusted so the new MOMO carbon racing pedal set is perfectly positioned for H&T. Might even pull the master cylinder out and the calipers and service them all.

Roy and Geoff - Let me know when your getting into it and i'll be happy to lend a hand. :bonk:

I dont hink i can supply enough Real McCoys to quench your thirst :alcoholic

Any help would be great, dont forget to bring your car, as an RB26 might be going in and we may need a few odds and ends off your car to get mine running. Troy wants the RB20 replaced, Roy wants an RB26

Roy vs Troy , who will win :fight!: ...truth is its not really up to us, it depends largely on circumstance and where things fall :P

*shakes fist violently at Roy for taking up too much of Geoff's expertise*

Maybe the two of you can help me with my RB25 when it lands in a month or so.

When are the Super Fun Happy Slider crew going to take on Team Wang... a bit of healthy rivalry is good.

Your GTS can go up against me, you will only have to last more then one lap and they will have me smoked :goddam:

Do you need a nice TD06 for your RB25 :P

Shan we'll be done well before then mate. All help is welcome too Chris. We were a good team Saturday night :P. Without your comments I would have taken heaps longer to start bashing the wastegate with the hammer :D

Hammer...why im outraged...how dare someone show my car so little respect. Oh actually its not like you dented my door and punched my sump in or anything?!?!?! :slap:

The plan is hatched, just have to suss when the door is getting fixed and see if the spanner session gets done before or after. Im thinking before otherwise i could be waiting to late in the month.

I found the RB74/Comp2 combo great at Wakefield, no real issues all day and I did almost 90 laps. I'm using DBA4000 slotted rotors front/back on my R33 GTS-t and they weren't dusty at all. They did squeel under light braking but were fantastic... when hot. For my 5km daily trips they were overkill so i've gone back to some cheap 2nd hand standard nissan pads which... don't have any bite but do work well enough from the very first stop.

Sounds like PI is quite a high speed trap... I think I need atleast 5 pairs of underwear for the day going on the speeds you guys were doing. In the wet you would have had to drag me into the car :P

Yep, get it done early rather than later. I imagine the people involved could take quite some time to do your repair..... unfortunatly.

I'll be sure to bring along the cheap burbon.

Oh and piss off you aint getting any bits off my beast.

will a TD06 25G plus custom lowmount manifold, wastegate and hybrid intercooler setup do :P coz that's what I got sittin in my garage atm waiting for the engine and a PFC... got the PFC tuning software but no PFC lol

btw nark just got his ceffy so the Slider crew will be out in force soon.

I've just ordered a Misfiring system by Grid for the setup I'm doing... hehehe while all u wangers are lagging I'll be put-putting whenever I shift :P

LOL... with enough corner speed you dont have to worry about lag, its only those wearing skirts and high heels who tippy toe thru the twisties that need anti-lag :box:

What do you mean by lag? At a place lieke PI you wont have to worry, i found with very little chance for practice i could drive around the poor boost response of my turbo setup. I have jack all lag, but pretty weak boost threshold.

As for while you are cornering, ppl that know way more then me have my car setup so it turns very nicely whilst im on the throttle (feathered not to the floor) so power delivery is nice and progressive on corner exit.

A place like Winton, ummm , forget about it. I think any mildly modded Skyline would be frustrated around there as there isnt too much opportunity for wide open throttle blasts.

I know I sound like an opportunist, but umm I've got a spare set of RB74s. Umm does anyone want to buy them? :P
Depends how much meat is left and how much you want;) Front and rear?

a misfiring system helps you coming out of corners too, not just on wide open throttle blasts... basically it evens out the response of a car, giving it the best of both worlds, speed of a turbo and constant response like an N/A (which I'm used to).

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
