Well yep, Kev gave me some pointers and I had a fantastic day.

Great practise for Dutton Rally and I slowly improved throughout the course of the day!!

Thanks for your help Kev.

That was sooo much fun, more than expected!

Top day!!

Had a ball, car is still alive, except for the rear brakes... yowzers

No wonder I was getting taily under braking, it's metal on metal. Whoops!

Congrats to all who ran PB's, and very, very impressive Chris, mucho respecto :(

Ok, so Scothfinger has risen the bar....i always thought a 1:21 is about it for a neatly modded but std turb GTR...now just how fast can the cheater go on ceramics?

He, he, he, thanks guys - I just keep taking it out and driving the wheels off it. Hopefully that continues to be the rubber wheels and not the ceramic ones!

Didn't feel I put together a 100% super lap at any point in the day. So a 1.20 is achievable if I can actually get some sleep before an event. But I think that might be about all the car can give.

A guy is meant to be transferring money into my account, so if the money hasnt been transferred by Friday...then?!?!?!

They are 235/45/17s.

And its $200 for entry? Well that changes things a little as i may just go on a Wednesday when i get my car back...more laps that way.

Well that was fun... perfect weather for my first track day! big thanks to all the guys who put the day on and everyone who helped out being flaggies etc... also thanks to the WRX club guys (murph & Jason) who were my instructors on the day... they let me fly solo in the last session and I grew some balls and recorded my PB for the day 1.32 which isn't toooo bad I didn't think? but mostly just glad I brought home the car in one piece, the brakes, oil temps and tires were great all day (I mustn't be driving hard enough hehe)

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
