Re drifting, I was tempted but decided not to drift into first corner as with that timley small amount of rain, that green stuff can be real slippery and did not want to bend my car on the tyre wall that sticks out. I gave the zed a hard time all day and held together well and drifting can be hard on cars so I was a little tame there although managed a decent smokey in third. Real happy with the track time. John Boston, race driver in my car did a 1min 7.8 considering fastest GTR that I am aware of with Warren Luff driving was Geoff Fear's R32 from SSS Automotive with Gibson motor did a 1 min 6 .8 only a sec faster or Gary Burchet R33 GTR N1 turbo's etc and Holinger sequential box 1 min 6.95. My factory viscous diff was slipping bad as worse as it got hot, we didn't have time to put in the Nismo GTR diff, and losing at least a second a lap plus other items we are improving am sure it will be easy 1 min 6 sec. At least I can say it has a GTR diff, water pump pulley and viscous fan. Could be more in the future.

Great lap times there, well done, particularly the z, anything under 1.10 is a road car with road tyres is incredible.

300zx 1:07.78

GTR 1:09.43

EVO 1:10.97

To put it in context, v8 record is 0.59, outright record is 0.55 (F3)

:D my best is 1.11 in the skyline. got some catching up to do.

Never rolled a daewoo at wakefield :P....and I did the fastest lap there the other week, 1.22.03.

But seriously, the thing is that Wakefield is a much more technical track than Eastern Creek, and suspension, tyres etc has much more to do with lap times than power does - if a car can get around wakefield quickly it must be pretty well balanced.

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
