Glen, so what were your times for the day?? How did the car feel compared to the GTR??

pete, i think he was about 1-2 seconds off his gtr time... the integra is quite a nifty package.

i take it ur the man who wrote a little 'message' on his windscreen? :laugh:

you would be correct haha, a little tongue in cheek... don't get me wrong. they are a sweet car, it's the instant status some think they attain by driving one.

Sprint - 1:06:xx (one sec behind my GTR)

Clubman - 1:09:xx (match my GTR)

pretty happy with the times considering its not too far off from my previous GTR. Had shitty tyres on so i was pretty much sliding around the corners :thumbsup:

i need semis :whistling:

God I slept well. I was torched after the day. If any one from here took any photos, it would be good to see them posted up.

I glazed my front discs. They somewhat resembled titanium discs, lol, if there was such a thing. Went and had them cut again this morning but still squealing a little when coming to a stop. Checked the brake pads also but no heat cracks and still a lot of pad there. Time for a set of slotted and cross drilled, to see if they make a difference. Also now in the market for a decent oil cooler and remote oil filter package.

I'll work on getting pics & vids up over the weekend - I drove in the morning so got a few decent skyline pics - didn't get one of the fuel pump sled down pit lane though :)

I tell you what, he was very lucky there was no fire created from that. Especially when he did realise what had happened and he got out of his car to spray it with his extinguisher and it didnt work. Very luck indeed.....

Hmm, pretty good times. Talk about semi's. I'd love to have some for the next track day. I am hoping the wife will release strangle hold on my proverbials so I can make it to the next one. Mind you, having 2 little people in the family does make life much more hectic.

      Fourth gear grind

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      How fast are you doing the downshift? 4th gear was revised multiple times until 1998 to fix this issue. Synchro clips can fall out, synchros can wear. Most likely you're looking at a new transmission unfortunately. If you need to limp it until then double clutch downshifts into 4th.

      Sorry I was being harsh there, but am I wrong? You can buy a M340i easily, and there's loads available second hand. A lot more workshops modifying them as well. How about getting parts for them? Don't get me wrong, I'd love a 400R, even a 4cyl (I looked at a few V36s before buying my shitbox BMW). Sadly Infiniti died in Aus and we're stuck with importing them as niche vehicles. Supply and demand

      Fourth gear grind

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      Yes I think we changed out the transmission fluid as I had a leak last year so we changed out the seals also. Need to check.    I should have said just change from 5th to 4th gear … down shift. There’s a grind.    I have a new clutch X clutch … but as I said all the changes in other gears are fine.

      Change the transmission fluid. I would try Motorcraft XT-M5-QS if you have it in your area for a reasonable price. Also, double check your clutch is fully disengaging. If you are not pushing the clutch pedal to the floor fully for every shift now is the time to start. Make sure the clutch is fully bled. The damper line requires two distinct bleed points to be purged of air or it will not disengage the clutch properly. If either hydraulic cylinders input or output are losing hydraulic pressure in their seals/leaking you can have problems like this. If you've ruled out everything else then the most likely explanation is the synchros are worn and you need to double clutch the shift or rebuild/replace the transmission. The transfer case is discontinued FYI so you may want to rebuild it while you're in there too. If the chain stretches past spec it can do a ton of damage.
