ahahahahaha. Nice one Toulia.

I just wanted to give direct thanks to bob, dan, neil, duncan and fatz!

Thank you for making this day so very memorible!!!!

Thanks goes to eveyone else and the rotory club for making it happen!!!!

First thought this morning when i woke up... *says to girflriend* babe can we go to oran park today?

I cant wait for the next meet at the next track! Lets hope i still have a car at that time! (i dont want to sell her now, i want to modify it more.)

For having stock Suspension and not many power mods i was happy with my three times:

- 1.38min

- 1.33min

- 1.30min

I will start another thread for track times, for all tracks and could one of the modz sticky it under the 1/4 mile times which silver-gtst started.

Yeah, it was a good day, I was a little pissed with the wasted time and the 10 cars on the track rule, but one of the RENEWS guys came up at the end and said it was mainly due to the new CAMS officials pushing them around.

1.22 Im happy thats, it my fastest lap time. We can now get ready for the next AArom Mcgill day in 4 weeks, I will post it up Monday morning. Did anyone get any shoots of me on 3 wheels into turn 1?

The cams people were very strict overall, which in some cases was a good thing

the 10 car on the track rule was ok, until the marshall stuffed up and sent 11 out in your group, then when you changed tyres/checked pressure (it looked low ion the front from my spot at turn 11) she told the marshall to hold you until the next group, still, from how she sounded on the radios i though she was going to make you wait for your next group session and that you would be out for at least 20 mins while the others had their go's

Your car looks great out there - unlike your ass at the drivers briefing. (i was standing next to duncan)

If the McGill day is the same curcuit - im in!!!

Mate i think you'll find your quickest lap was 1.33, check natsoft for fastest times. I didn't see anyone running a 1.30, Your quickest was 1.33, sorry to disappoint you. :

Well it was good to be out at another trackday, especially the full circuit at OP which is extremely rare however if this CAM's day was run any slower I would have gone home 10yrs younger.

Having only 10 cars on a full GP circuit is extremely lame even more so when their was more than half the track not even being used because most drivers were bunching up. Having a 40min drivers briefing is pointless and starting the first session at 10:30 is a waste of atleast 1.5hrs of track time (every trackday ive been to the briefings have been at 8am and racing starts at 9am) and did I mention that 1980's BMW's suck ass despite what some people may think?

On the other hand their were some very quick rotors out there, 1 in particular had the main straight flaggys ducking for cover everytime he drove past as it backfired going into turn 1 :D

Was good to see some new faces at the track both on and off the circuit. It just shows that their is still plenty of interest for private days just the costs and availability are still a problem.

Great day.. great day. My first time spectating at a track day too. I tell ya, I'm now itching to get onto the track. So much so I think I have a rash :worship:

Anyway here are a few of my shots. They're a bit soft. Wish I had a bigger lens...

From both Amanda and I thanks to Benm and Oz for their support during the day. And thanks to Abobob for organising such a great day! (AGAIN!!)

For someone that's basically only gotten her licence to drive, and only been driving a manual for 7months I reckon Amanda did bloody brilliantly! :)

Well done to all involved in getting this day together.

Top time Adam, man you got those 4 doors around there quick. :D

Weather was much kinder than the last track day.

Spewing that I had work commitments, would have been

fun to have another boat out there chasing the Liners. LOL :worship:

After one full lap (to get exhaust temp up), it flamed out on every change of gear and everytime he got off the gas approaching a braking zone

Not really helping fuel economy :D

      R34 Diff oil

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      R34 Diff oil

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
