Well what a day!!! Awesome weather, great conditions and all round accident free event.. To sum it up, Frank had trouble all day with intercooler pipes blowing off due to shitty clamps, didn't really get a full session in.

He still managed a PB of 1:43.5...

Aaron managed a PB of 1:46.3..

I managed a PB of 1:49.5.... and also came off the track for the first time!!!!!! Doing 360's into the kitty litter at Southern Loop, that was fun, NOT.... Besides a very dirty interior (and damaged ego), the car is fine, no damage, the wall was still about 30 metres away....

So Roy u can say PB's were the order of the day!!!!!

On a sour note my brakes were not performing as well as they should, and can gladly say I've f**ked the set of rotors which I found and got machined the day before, slots are barely visable, oh well, looks like I better get those new rotors before Sandown!!!!

Im too lazy to log in as me so ... with regards to the rotor, getr a kew, meytal skewer and clean out the slots...dependign on the pad you use, you can actuallt deposit pad on the rotor. Pad deposits on the rotor are generally a good sign as it helps with teh friction co-effecient, and when bedding brakes is what you are trying to achive...so just check that its not pad and gunk in the slots....or they could be dead :no:

Awesome work, how did Ferni go

Nay dude. I got a 1.45.95 in the last session.

It's good to see the top three GTRs all in the 40s... Congrats to all.

Sorry Aaron, didn't see the last session results, that's awesome dude!!!!!! I guess we all went there with a mission, and the mission was successfull indeed. PB's all round!!!

Let's not forget the other GTR's, not sure what Ferni got, he retired early with a faulty boost controller, and how about the other Andrew (BBGTR), sure he's a WRX member, but he has crossed over to the 'dark' side...

Ferni was spewing. I've been there too many times myself so I understand. Sandown is next. Hope fully we get a bigger turnout of SAU there. It's time to go clean the 34 and put the 19s back on it.

Don't know what to expect at Sandown, never had a good go at it yet, will have to chase Snowies time....

Brakes should be sorted by then aswell.....

Aaron, my car is the filthiest its ever been, I suppose cutting the grass and ending up in the kitty litter doesn't help!!!!!

Yeah I had a bit of trouble, first prac session was ok, but i was taking it pretty easy, 2nd session i went out and had water temp issues which i've never had before, and also some knock which i thought may have been the boost controller since it wouldn't let me adjust anything, but on the way home i gave it some stick and it was fine,(well i still can't adjust boost, its like its locked up). I think it may be issue with heat. But i did get one thing out of the day - 300+ rwkw with street tyres even with a GTR is silly. I'm not gonna bother coming back to the track until i get a set of Semis.

But it looks like it was a good day for the rest of you so thats good to hear :D

How did you come off Jack? Glad there was no damage :D Shows your driving towards the limits now at least :D

Hey ferni, it's always a bummer to leave atrack day early, at least with your car it doesn't seem serious...

I was coming in to turn 2 a little too hot, oversteered thought i could correct it with giving it some throttle and opposite lock and before I knew it I kept going around until I hit the grass and 360 into kitty litter. Closed eyes and hoped for the best, opened eyes to see the barrier a fair way ahead still....

Had to come off one day!!!!!

You got new turbos hey ferni?

Those garrett's you bough off the board?

Thanks for the mention Jack. I didn't have the best of days with the 4WD light appearing on the dash after the warm up lap in every session. Couldn't really get a decent lap, so it's a call to Ben on Monday for a diagnosis. Shame really as it performed well at Calder. :)

Well done to all the boys in the 40's.

Cheers

Andrew

Yeah exactly Jack, nothing too serious so i'm not worried too much. Haha damn turn 2. I always find turn2 and turn3 tricky. Glad the walls are well away from the track :)

No Garretts? not sure why you thought that, i got a set of HKS GT-SS from greenline.....

I'll state the obvious, but i'm guessing you already checked it - the attesa fluid in the boot, make sure thats not too low....

I wouldn't have a clue about Datsun 4WD systems. I'll have a look, thanks.

    • @Lithium  looking for a turbo for my Rb30. Want to make sure I understand this correctly.   If I want to stay 40psi or under my best choice of these 3 is actually the smaller G40-1150 ?
    • Massive ups for MTHire also. Could not have done the subframe bushings job without hiring the tool from them. Process was super easy and cost me around 25% of the cost of the tool. If you need a one-time tool to do something, check them out. (Paid for the rental myself, no sponsorship here.)  
    • I'd suggest calling Unigroup, they have a lot of experience with these, access to reliable fabricators etc. Of course it will cost but at least you can trust what they tell you
    • The switch part, is the switch you use to turn the lights on and off in the car.   The test I had was to determine where in the line it is, but on a quick rethink, if it's only blowing when you turn the switch on, then it's the wire from the switch, to the headlight that's got the short. Now it's a case as GTS said, of physically finding the fault. The fault could be:  metal has broken through the loom. Known as a rub through. Places to check: anywhere the wiring has been messed with in the car, particularly firewall grommets if extra cables have been passed through. Check the inner guard linings, you might be rubbing through with a wheel, particularly if the vehicle has been lowered. Also check for anywhere there could be high heat, especially if heat shields are missing. Double check any wiring at the head unit too if someone has messed with the headlight wiring to pick up a feed to dim the headlight at night. You could also just have really old cabling that is literally falling apart, though, this is more likely in Euros than in an old Nissan in my experience.
    • Yeah. I usually go by the torque specs. I forgot that Nissan recommends 1386b sealant on that thread, still can buy it on ebay actually.
