I'm keen for morning (cooler temps + prefer the clubman track) and am willing to help out.

Im keen to hit the tracks... but dont laugh at me for being lame please.. im sure of the average is

1:10.00 etc ill come in something like 7:59.00.

Insurance isnt covered though on the track.. ngghhhh..its my only car.. i dont want it dinged up from peeps hitting me in the bum cause im too slow.

Can i sit in someones car the first time to see what its like?

*begs*?

Chris, with the way Paul runs the day and the rules in place there is like a 0.0003% chance of you rubbing panels with another car...

The only damage you could possiblly do is yourself.

However id be happy to take you for a blat round as a passanger if your not comfortable at first.

i've never seen anyone connect with anyone out there so i wouldn't worry about that, just need to be aware of who is around you thats all.

hitting a wall is pretty unlikely unless you get really out of shape (or attempt to drift or sonething)

that said you are pretty much guaranteed to go off the track if you drive like you should

I may take you up on that offer just the first time so i can get my feet wet.

Thanks heaps col..

Its kinda like swimming the first time as a nipper.. you need someone to hold your hand (mind you i wont hold your hand.. prob just the jesus bar)

yea i was a bit scared the first time , and bit scared of wrecking my car. But like paul and others said. Just drive at your own pace. so i just had a go. After the 3rd lap i started to really feel alot more comfortable. Just takes some getting used to Driving in a helmet :happy:

Bring on the VTEC yoh. :) Seriously Glen, it would be great to see you out there again!!!

Hi Paul,

looking forward to your track-day emails again.

woah.. the great Peter has spoken... i would definitely want to keep up with yours and Jason's times on the track :)

arent you selling the skyline and getting a x5 instead? :)

Ah,yes. I am trying my hardest to keep it as long as I can. But I can only hold off the inevitable for so long!!! 2 kids will have the affect. Second one due in April.

Have you done anything to the mighty CIVIC to make sure you will be able to keep up with Jason and I?? Just remember you haven't got the mighty GTR to back you up now. It will all come down to driver skill. :)

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
