oo0o0o0o0o nearly half way through the day... i'll bet y'all have already blasted your previous times :) Can' wait for when car is fixed and I get to have my first turn at wakie... If only there were more hours in the day... We just didn't have enough time to drive 12 hours to get there, do track day for 8 hours then drive 12 hours home. We would've died along the way for sure :thumbsup:

And now some words of wisdom courtesy of my inner bogan...

GO HARD OR GO HOME

ARC IT OR PARK IT

GET 'EM SPINNIN' & WE'LL BE GRINNIN'

:thumbsup:

hahah the volvo was funny on the track :P

But I think SAU is dead atm maybe only admins can post ;)

Anyway....great turn out today, it was brilliant to see so many new faces on the track and I hope they all enjoyed it.

The wet track in the morning came close to setting a record for number of spinning cars - but overall I think eveyone came through pretty unscathed.

Thanks Adam and Corrine in particular for organising, and Kel and Steve for standing in the freezing cold at the flags all day.

The forum was down last night.

Sweet day, was good to get the R34 out for its last run. But hope it wont be its last time on the track.

Paul, you're welcome to pilot mine anytime I'm at Wakie. Thanks for all the help yesterday. It's amazing what driving right does for your times. Thanks to all the other experienced drivers who took a lot of tme to help me and everyone else to learn to drive better

Guys - Lots of great effort by everyone who helped yesterday, but I think we owe Adam a major thanks. Back to back weekend events and both ran superbly.

Via El Presidente!

Was about to say the same thing duncan, Steve you were locking that inside wheel @ the same corner every lap :P

Thanks to everyone who organised, but also huge thanks to everyone that took passenger's out (including me) on some laps, I think this is what makes SAU + Wakefield such a good day as everyone is happy to have people along and it encourages people to get out there..

Got a small sampling of photos..

I would like to thank all that came and also allowed me to safly slide and slide and slide all over the road IN CONTROL THOUGH :P

Paul your words help really well and after some modifications I think those track times will drop even more.

Adam thanks AGAIN for a great day.

Stevo for making me laugh ( THAT HELMET ) please someone post a pic of him in that black helmet.

And last two

Brad from cracking my back on every corner wicked car and cant wait when it has its over haul.

    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
    • NO HITS PRICE DROP   ENGINE - $8.5k ONO TRANSMISSION - $1.8k ONO  
    • If it has had a code in the recent past, the code should still be there waiting to be read.
