1.31 for your first time is a great time Michael!

So first track day in about 10 months! Did a track day at Sandown for its first shakedown of the car to see if anything would fall apart. Coincidentally my best time was a 1:33.538 which was the same time as my best time when the car was stock There was alot of traffic during the day so it was hard to string together any sort of hot laps Looking at the race data, top speed is up about 10km/h but all my corner speeds were down by 5-15km/h pending on the corner I think the car sitting on the tyres for 7 months in the one spot didnt really help the KU31/NItto Invo tyres at all. I think someone also mentioned that the track temps were very cold. It was about 16c and overcast that day i think! In addition I was short shifting at 6,000rpm due to turbo issues so the car would sometimes bog down on upchanges. Oil temps: After 4 hot laps oil temps would reach 120c, then stabilise at about 125-130 after 2 further hot laps. Water temps were 80c measured at the bottem of the radiator. So about 90-100c up top All in all though car didn't miss a beat and no issues with the engine which is good! So items on the wishlist before the next track day: 4 x Yoko Advan AD08R's 265/35/18 Oil cooler Adjustable front and rear lower control arms for -ve camber Kaaz/Nismo 1.5 way diff (traction out of corners isn't the greatest) Anyone got any idea's on brands for the control arms? Maybe I need sway bars too among other suspension bits? suspension is completely stock apart from Tein coilovers, which are apparently falling apart I'll try upload a video of a session tonight. File is 1GB though and never uploaded to youtube before so ill see how I go!

Recovery didn't take too long actually Session went ahead prob about 10mins after you left. Also ended up being my fastest session i think, as there was less guys out on the track

Good to be out on the track again All my corner speeds were down compared to last year, so I need to work on that But spose it was more of a test day for me, and the car came out ok. I can see for the faster guys it may have been hard to get a hot lap in with so much traffic Great weather today which was a plus

G'day Tony My name is Tony

Just had a look at the grouping.. Seems as though all of SAU VIC in group 5 Fun at first but I'd rather not be in the same group as the really fast guys such as Aaron's R35 which does 1:20's

Cheers Markos Will take the advice on board Especially in the regards to working harder and not having lame workouts

But I'm yellow

Yeah will have one fitted before the next track day

I think it was a nice cool sunny day ~24c. That was with a stock turbo Now with aftermarket turbo and manifold things will get hot quick Yeah probably only manage ~2 hot laps and then do ~2 cool down laps then another 2 hot laps. I dont think my oil temp goes down that much on 1 cool down lap

When you say lift heavy vs moderate weights for strength vs muscle size Do you mean for example: If you want strength lift 'x' weight at 5 reps But if you want muscle mass left 'x' lower weight at 8 reps? I've got a $400 bet with a few of mates of who can have the best body by 1 Dec 2014. So my aim is to build muscle size I spose. At the moment on the big lifts im in the ~6rep range Exercises at the moment. Only a home gym so just a bench and squat rack. So i've started: Day 1 Squats 4 sets of 6reps Lunges 3 sets of 8reps Leg extension 3 sets of 10 reps Hamsting curls 3 sets of 8reps Day2 Barbell flat bench 4 set of 6reps Barbell incl bench 3 set of 8reps Dumbll incl bench 3 set of 8reps Dips 3 x max Day3 Deadlift 4 sets of 6reps Bentover row 3 sets of 10 reps Dumbell row 3 sets of 8 reps Pullups 3 sets of max reps Day4 Military barbell press 3 x 6reps Barbell shoulder press 3 x 8 reps BB curl 3 x 8 reps Day5 Squats 4 sets of 6reps Deadlift 4 sets of 6reps Barbell flat bench 4 set of 6reps Dips 3 set of max reps Pullups 3 sets of max reps My biggest issue at the moment is rest between sets. When i do squats/bench/deadlift. I feel like I need ~2-3min break between sets I'm about 170cm, 74kg, stockish build, got a bit of muscle but i'd say ~15-20% bodyfat Going by this pic My Diet is now 100% under control since last week. Only lean meats, vegs. complex carbs no sweats or takeaways etc...

Well that could have come in handy last night

Trent said Turbo is too small, so working harder than normal, so hot oil going from the turbo to the block In saying that Neo's run hotter than stock out of the factory Charles get aroun 85c on the street. When I tracked with my stock turbo oil temps hit 125c after ~5 laps at Sandown Water temp is fine. Big rad I get like ~40-60c on the street lol

Similar to yours 284rwkw. Ku31's at the front and Nitto Invo streets on the rear near its wear indicators on old Tein HA suspenssion Limitation for me is driver, tyres, no oil cooler (I get up to 90c in this weather crusing on the freeway) and turbo issues. I won't be reving over 6,000rpm So ill get about 2-3 laps in before my oil temps hit >120degrees i reckon, then Ill do a few cool down laps More of a test day for me, as car only has gotten back on the road after a 6 month absence. But I'd be estatic if I could get under 1:30 Will hopefully get AD08R's and an Oil cooler fitted before the next track day

Kuhmo's aye I'm running some 3 year old KU31's at the front haha

Yeah that hashtag doesnt work I got the , QSTARZ Products: BT-Q818XT Think its the same one as Richo?

Cheers scmate! What group did you elect to go under? I'm also finding my feet again for track days What other mods to your car out of curiousity Also whos got a garage for a day that I can just chill out at? I don't want the space for the car just somewhere to sit in between sessions

Does anyone have a spare GPS unit I could use in conjuction with my racechrono? I ordered a Qstarz one over 2 weeks ago and it hasn't come yet

Not liking the chances of a SAU VIC soccer team lol But it doesn't hurt to ask
