GT-R leak #2 fixed + re-tune


Dat familiar ISMR car park.

OK so last week there was a puddle of green coolant under the car. I couldn’t locate the exact source of the problem so I topped up with water and drove straight to Indy’s hoping it was just a split hose (fingers were crossed!). Turns out it was my N1 water pump. Strange right?! Anyways, it’s been replaced with another N1 pump and whilst the car was at IS Motor Racing I thought I’d get Indy to re-tune the car.

He’s advanced the timing a bit (I really want that mid-range power back) and whilst we’ve lost 4kw or so boost is kicking in from 3000rpm now instead of 4000. Was a bit wet out today so looking forward to some dry weather (then it’s time for new tyres as these are so so old).

Fuel 4 Charity 2013

Fuel 4 Charity was a great success (phew!!!!). I’d been stressing about it for weeks. $30 for charity was a bit steep for many of the kids in our community. It was a big ask as most kids still live at home, and being into cars, they’re naturally broke! But the sun was out and thankfully people came out to play.

We raised over $9,000 for charity. Short of the massive $25k dream we initially had, but it’s money raised by individuals in the community without the help of any major corporate sponsors. For that I’m really really proud.

We’d still like to push for $10k so we’ll be raffling off a few goodies this week. Im sure we’ll get there.

It’s been a massive weekend for the Zen Crew. Friday morning we were at Olympic Park to set up our massive Zen Stand inside Motorex. Friday night the show opened and from there we ran our stand through to Sunday afternoon. We also ran All Stars Real Street Blvd. outside the show on Saturday.

My photos are up on Zen Garage. Friday setup pictures, Saturday pictures and Sunday pics!
