Well done everyone, looks like you all had a ball.

Nice time Paul, 1:09.886 is a top effort, on slicks?.

Looks real dry down there but glad it didn't rain on the weekend.

Hoping to catch the next one, Eastern Creek? :)

awwwww, what a weekend! PHEW! I am soooo tired. I should have really gone to bed before 5am on Sunday morning :)

No hot water... no scrap that... NO WATER and no HEAT was bad, but we all made do.

I would like to thank everyone for putting up with my shit over the weekend. I know I was loud and annoying and boisterous, and my drunken boob flashes and random ass grabs didn't help the situation, so cheers to those who put up with it :D

In total, I took about 165 pics and about 8 videos. My computer is being a piece of shit atm, so when it's finished it's hissy fit, I will upload them for all to see. Got a great pic of you infront of Ando, Liz :D

Anna xoxo

yay. i had a really good time.

AND THANKS CORINNE AND ADAM :( for helping sam and i on the freeway

and also PAUL. for giving me some pointers on lines... il get there

soooo much diferant than the street.

:(:dry::D no brake fluid for you! and spending extra hrs on the freeway following your sorry slow ass, or have you forgotten :(:dry: :dry: :(:D

Yes, it was by far the best RENEW's day we had, they had their sh!t together, we were on the track early and I did about 160 laps, a great day, well done RENEWS and SAU. TOP SHOW!

Im very happy with the 1.09 it was my goal for the day and I got there, I did crack a rotor I will post up some pics for a laugh! If any of the passangers were wondering what that shutter was, it was the rotor's I check twice but both times the crack was under the caliper. I drove home without using the brakes once, goto love that M7! Drove into UAS at 8.30am on Monday morning and drove out at 10am with DBA 4000 rotors, Im not sure if they will improve my times, but I can no longer say I have STD brakes and suspension, as I now have an upgrade, even if the upgrade was 7% the cost of the original Nissan part.

FYI $220 for DBA's $3300 GTR STD rotor.

Well done to all first timers, everyone drove hard but not stupid, and it shows with no broken cars or accidents, well done everyone top work, and I trust we will see you at the next day.

Ports, I clocked a 1.12 on my road tyres first up in the morning, slicked up and got down to 1.09, it was dry all day, and yes see you at EC.

Awesome stuff Paul!

It was no surprise to see your best lap as 1:09! I think someone else also mentioned the amount of grip your car has is phenominal!

You had a great impact on the day by showing the first timers how it's done, and giving constructive advice to people you had a ride with. Thank you very much for the advice!

I had to use my brakes (and my fire extinguisher!!) fairly heavily on the freeway! We had a truck towing a couple of motorbikes on a trailer in front of us, and the right hand wheel fell off the trailer. The hub slammed into the ground and sparks covered the entire road. A wheel and other assorted suspension gear almost took out my brother, but luckily caused no damage. The driver did amazingliy well to control the truck & trailer as it drifted sideways for a while and then came to a stop...

I ended up having to use my extinguisher to put out the fire which resulted!

Does anyone know whether its worth it to get the Quell(?) 1kg extinguisers recharged or is it cheaper just to buy a new one?

yay. i had a really good time.

AND THANKS CORINNE AND ADAM :D for helping sam and i on the freeway :s

YOur Welcome darls :)

I think they are a one shot through away. Everyone was welcome, a great group of first timers and hopefully a new wave of trackers!

Awesome stuff Paul!

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
