Congrats to Man_in_bulk....he took out the final round of the state champs at Eastern Creek this weekend, winning the 2005 championship in the process (not to mention a very impressive 1.48.8 lap time....)

Congrats to Geoff and the rest of the support team at BSM including Sydneykid!

Whats more.....another SAU forum member (if only just :D) came home 2nd MB.Motorsport :( Shame he's in a commodore but he might upgrade one day ;)

Honourable mention to road_and_race who's GTR finished 5th in Class A pipping me by 8 points (I ended up 6th). And haw001 who ended up 10th (thats what you get for only entering 1 round :D)

Can't wait to get out there again next year and give it a real shot :D

yes, congrats to the BSM boys!

Well our season in prod sports came to a sad end with the porsche being heavily crashed in practice :D Turn 1, EC, 180kph, inside wall... not good. car is totaled. Not sure if Rob and our little band will be back next year, but if not i will offer my strut brace and services to you duncan :D

nah I was coming around to lap him Geoff.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Richard that really sucks. Did the tail come out in turn 1 or was there a nudge. :) I guess its a reminder....only race what you can afford to loose :) at $9k a GTR is in my budget.

Maybe its a sign he should be picking up one of those old spec carerra cup shells.....supercar pace at about 10% of the price

yeah tail came out at turn 1 on the throttle, arse snapped around and fired him into the inside wall, car is quite badly damaged. the quote from someone in sydney was $76K in parts + lots-o-labour. Rob has a plan though and should have it back together for a fair bit less than that. Porsche (germany) apparently will take the old shell back, crush it, credit him towards a new one and send a replacement 05 cup car shell complete with cage etc back. He can do this as it was bought as a Cup Car.

The funny thing was the car was not behaving as Rob wanted yet he still managed to qualify 5th with a 1:40.1. It would have been a great weekend.

Richard was that the cup car missing a lot of the front end parked up-hill from the control tower on saturday? or another fence/PCC car?

I was at turn 4 and saw a bigggg lose in the first race on Saturday cold tyre oversteer and disappeared stage right....

any fotos?

Duncan,

Thanks for the mention, it's a shame I missed the last three rounds but I hope to have a full season next year.

I would also like to congratulate Geoff, Phil and the boys at BSM and hope to see you at the track soon.

kinda, you can't comply a rally import for full road use, but you can drive them to events, practice, shows, mechanics etc etc. Now the 15yo rule is finished the prices on 89-90 gtrs are more sensible again, heading back down to 400-500k yen ;)

One of teh guys at work was telling me about the rally car for road use thing, sounds interesting.

So where do you get these "unregisterable" skylines from anyway?

Any car can be registered as a rally car as long as it has a CAMS log book and has been accepted. But the most common way to do it is to import a car from Japan for Rally use. Full details are on the DOTARS site

Thanks for that info

Both Production Cars (3E) and Improved Production (3J) allow GTRs these days, I'm pretty sure it is national from CAMS not a state based thing. We've also had wrx, evos, mazda gtrs running with us at various times

Production Cars I think is only in NSW and National series but you have IP in QLD don't you?

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
