Guys if your really hooked on the circuit then join a club that runs supersprints and get in on it.!!

southernsportingcarclub.org and NSCC all compete in monthly events at various circuits and the cost is pretty reasonable.

Fair ammount of track time all properly timed and its great fun.

Typically the events fill up fast but if you get the entry in early your bound to get spot.

How did you go anyway ?

OI! just cause i don't have bucket seats!!! Had a great day guys, i was running low 16's, but think that if i drove a bit smoother with the semis i could crack teh 14's! Pumped for DECA and Winton!

Awesome, I'm quite happy with that, considering the tyres I had on cost a total of $450.

Nice to meet you both at the track as well :-)

Those tyres are a very soft compound Raul so your brakes must have been really bad. What pads are you using?

I have been told that the tyres are very soft compound, however they have now done 3 track days (with plenty of use on each) and I am confident of getting another track day maybe even two out of them. Maybe the fact that they are old stock has hardened them up a bit. For $500 odd dollars a set I would buy more if they were available.

As for the brake pads, they are “Racebrakes” RB74 fronts and comp 2 at the rear. The discs are still the standard ones with over 55,000km on them so I think that’s the problem.

Sounds like a great deal mate. I'm thinking that your lighter car would help too.

When did you last bleed your brakes. I wouldn't have thought that standard rotors would cause the brakes to fade so quickly although I don't know how good they are from stock. Luckily for me the R34 has great standard brakes. 310mm front rotors for a start. :D

It's pobably been about two to three years since I had the fluid replaced and the system bled so that could be an issue.

Now that several of us have been to DECA before, we're definately taking it to them this time. If I start running as well as I did at the end of the day last time I'll move up considerably (a more sorted car doesn't hurt either).

A short clip of a light run during the day.

Managed 2 salvage one bit of footage.

Next time all three cameras will be in operation.

Also lost a fair bit of clarity when posting them to youtube.

Cheers

& thanks again Adam & Co.

HELMET CAM

SAU Track Day in the R32 GTS-T

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7inn0WBvI1s

There was a quality drop with compressing for Youtube, the helmet cam was making an annoying 'clunking' noise, so I covered it with music and will look for a better way to attach the helmet cam next time.

The white 33 was interesting to follow, even if I did have to slow down/stop for it a few times.

Thanks again to the organisers, it may feel like a loveless job, but we all luv ya for it!!!

Cheers

Michele

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
