ok boys ive decided now that ima get the car back on the road asap

Im taking bets on if i can get it ready for sandown (hopefully make some money to pay for it)

With the help from everyone here i recon its achievable

you watch me put down a crazy lap time when its back

screw the driver training its just like a go kart only 200km/h faster

hahah lap times don't come from power, you need grip, handling, and maybe some stopping :) But good on you for wanting to get back out there. you need to remember, the track will show up any weakness your car has, you may think you drive it hard on the street, but you'll drive it MUCH harder on the track than you ever will on the street. If you had of got a session or two yesterday you would of found out first hand. :P

He's young, he'll learn but yeah its good that he's keen for track.

2 timed laps.

That's all - on my 3rd flyer in the first timed practice, I Fv(KED the SH!T outta the 3rd/4th fork/selector/whatever, and had it Jam half in 3rd, half in neutral. Happened shifting on the right/left direction change outta MG. It's been playing up for a while (synchro's on 4th are cactus) and I guess it finally let go.

:P

1:53.9 isn't too bad though, with Bendix ultimates (not even bedded in yet on the front!) and 200rwkw. The DriftBox (loaned - thanks Monti!) said I was on a 1:53.5 when the 'box went, and I think there's at LEAST another second to be had once I learn how hard I can push on all the quick stuff. I think I was only doing 150-odd onto the front straight, with a ton of room & grip up my sleeve. Hmmm, guess my target of 1:57 on the entry form was a smidge conservative!!!!!

HOW GOOD is Hayshed and T1 ? ! ? ! I was braking at/just after the 2nd line on the track into T1, with HEAPS of room to spare, turning in at 170, realising I had HEAPS of room& grip, and punching out hard up to 185km/h before braking into Southern loop. BOOOYAAH ! ! ! My V.Max on Winton's main straight is 172km/h ! ! :)

At least I can drive (gingerly, in 1st, 2nd & 5th!) around 'til I have the coin to fix the box, it self-righted itself (with a BanG!) leaving a servo, on the way back. Oh - what happened to the Black R34(?) that stopped around 4pm at Siberia? I was flagging there for a while.

p.s. My mate & I got a TONNE of pics - RAY! TUNE that Silvia MAN! (You'll see once the pic's up!) - I'll let Youse know when they're uploaded.

SHIT YEH!!!

This would have to be most fun I've had at a track day so far. PI alway seems to put on the weather for us and what a great track. The morning was a little slow but it was worth the wait.

To all of you who weren't there you really missed out.

Looking at the time everybody was doing. Crazy people!

Ferni 1.51. You'll have to slow down or I'll never catch you if you start gaining confidence in the car as quickly as Jack did a while back and look the times his doing now.

Bris- I might have to start calling you Mad Dog, the way your car wags its tail all over the track. Looks a little hairy to drive. I was waiting for you to loop in front of me but you alway pulled it back. Imagine if you did borrow my wing. There would have easy been a 1.50 flat in it with traction :). Reminded me of the old gtst around there. FUN!

BBGTR if only I knew I alway bring some spare clamps incase their needed.

1:53.9? In my books thats quick ! What tyres were you on? Were you the white R33 GTS25T :P

How hard do you drive the thing to be cooking the gearbox with 200rwkws :glare:

Yup - that's Me :sick:

I was on 2nd hand RE55s - Thanks to Craig at Trackside Race&Rally Tyres in Kilsyth.

I'm REALLY sympathetic to the gearbox 99.9% of the time, and the cogs themselves are FINE - it's the selector mechanism that's farked. I've been nursing gradually worsening synchro's on 4th for YONKS, which I REALLY damaged trying to quick-shift from 3rd-4th in the wet one night, to keep a drift going. (ummm, any cops reading this - it wasn't on public road . . . . :) )

Anyhoo! Which car were You in Roy? Hi to everyone I yakked to, I really enjoyed Myself (busted gearbox aside)

Nice times people, sounds like a lot of fun. I'll be down there next weekend with some other NSW SAU members for

the Nissan nats. Boosted Zed is taking slot car down for a run, so it will be interesting to see how JP does.

Are there any Vic members doing the Nats? :)

Are there any Vic members doing the Nats? :P

I now have $-100 to my name.

:glare:

So no, no 'Nats for Me ! !

Hehe - I just checked My morning "untimed" practice times - I hit my entry-form target of 1:57 flat on my Third EVER lap of the track ! ! ! :)

I'm SO going back with a fully-fit car ! ! ! (and properly bedded-in brakes!)

BBGTR if only I knew I alway bring some spare clamps incase their needed.

Thanks. I'm going to T-Bolt the whole f@$cking set-up. I hate $2 component failures with a passion, especially on days like that. Conditions didn't get any better.

Only 6 more PI's this year, check my track calendar and mark the days in your diary's boys.

Cheers

What's the deal with the MPC cars?

They all armed them self to the teeth, lexon window, fully cages...etc.

The deal is that they are fully prepped race cars, the kind that cost a lot of money and go really really really fast on a race track.... :P

Anyhoo! Which car were You in Roy? Hi to everyone I yakked to, I really enjoyed Myself (busted gearbox aside)

I was in the silver R32 a few cars down from you...between all the hand feeds and vid replays and self indulgence...i didnt get a chance to come and say hello

What an AWESOME day ;) Lol you couldn't wipe the smile off my face! Thought I went quicker in the last couple of sessions but seems I only did a best of 1:54. Not that I'm complaining compared to my gtst on streets this thing was 14 secs quicker and boy did it feel it :)

I big thanks to all the flaggies out there :(

PI did show that I really, really need a catch can :(

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
