got my car serviced yesterday and while my car was on the hoist we found out that my right cv boot is blown and there was oil leaking everywhere... can i still run on the track with this condition?? (i couldn't find anyone who was willing to recondition my cv boot @3pm on saturday of long weekend... :) )

I will be there with Unique Zed with new R32 GTR diff 4.3 ratio which should be interesting as first time out with lots of changes. I think may run out of legs down the straight going from 3.7 diff ratio to 4.375. Will be good for Wakefield and Oran though. Weather looks like will be perfect and public holiday should be a big one.

Does the BBQ accept Green prawns and maybe some egg plant or only snags for the V and Coke drinkers?

is there anyone just turning up hoping that someone will drop out so they can run on the track?

i *might* drop out thanks to the cracked right cv boot...

keyword : *might* ... i really wanna run this time coz 5 of my friends r running too... but if it doesn't look good, i might just have to drop out... and fix the damn thing for next track day on the 24th july...

This cold weather is giving me some trouble, noticed pinging earlier, been out and stuffed in some octane boost, hope that will sort it, first time I've tried it.

My track tyres were showing 18 psi after 5 kms from cold. So put them up to 36 psi, but might lower them again on the track. What kind of psi are most people running with 225/50/17s ?

About to take out the stero, shed a few kgs. Easier than going on a diet.

See you there ! can't wait !

Popped the bonnet to do an oil change today and found a half dozen or so well done snails on my rocker covers.

Might have to drive a little faster so these bastards can't catch me!

Pete - I'm up for helis as usual, you bringing the gtr or the PIMPMOBILE?

    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
