Well done Neil, good to see another GTR having a go on the track, great time aswell!!

I think your talking about the black R32 GTR you almost collected (BBGTR)...

Ooops - right colour, wrong model - BBGTR did express some relief after that sprint session - it was amazing that there was no serious damage done

It's standard man. A standard RPM setup.. :dry: Shame it was raining when you were down on the flag point. I didn't want to tempt fate by barrelling into Dandenong Corner. Lots of nasty things to hurt the car...

Did anyone get pics of the day?

:D

Surely there are some pics floating around.

And if that was you showing restraint into Dandy? It still looked absolutely awesome under brakes. It was one of the few cars not pinching brakes.

Which reminds me ..Matt, stop locking rear brakes :rofl:

locking rear brakes? you talking about me?

i dun think mine were locking.. i have doubts about by bias adjustment, but i reckon the rears are not even working...

i may have got a bit of comp lock up from those massive revs comming down into second :D

and also the smoke comming from the rear was out of the exhuast pipe not the tires...

the old BOV was mucking up the AFM good...

ne hoo... great day, had a blast..

got my times down to 1:35.07 best.... over 2 secs better than last time, and on a less grippy track...

not much but a start.. so i'm happy...

MaT

I'll say. bwwwhahahaha

Did you even get any indication of what caused your spin?. I couldn't believe I was facing the wrong direction, at such low speed and minimal throttle? I'll be storing that one up for next time :blink:

Oops too many Matts. GTTR34 was locking the rear bakes everytime into Dandy...nothing major but it seemed pretty consistant.

As for Corona Matt, it seemed you needed all the engine brakign you could muster to stop the old girl...but a 1:35 flat is damn good considering your tyres and everything. I think its quicker then most of the R32/33 guys :blink:

lets not get too excited...

1:35 flat :blink:

my handbrake warning light is on consistently now... might have to check that out.

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
