boys got 250 photos but sau is shit for hosting any one host them for me i can put them all on dvd and give them to you to host

and this one is for brisby

I can host them for you champ, will send you a PM.

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

Yeah you just did the silcon piping kit as well because you had trouble last time, i haven't touched my piping yet, touch wood, i half want to pre-empt it and change it so i don't end up like that, but then on the other hand i don't want to touch it since i've never had an issue... *tough more wood*

okay next mod is definately a harness... I actually had trouble steering through some of the faster corners because I was holding onto the wheel so tight! it may not be a requirement but its definately necessary

don't know why I was in the fast group hope I didn't hold anyone up... managed to get a clean run late in the day (not having to wave someone past) and knocked off a huuuuuge 2:06.05... haha if anyone wonders why I seemed not to be changing gears down the straight it was because I was smashing the speed limiter for most of it (that is also something I have to get rid of) Kalli was like why does your car make a funny popping sound down the straight LOL

cheers to all the flaggies and helpers as usual top effort

was a real humbling experience to be on track at PI with all the quick Skylines in the club, you guys are all nuts and I have much respect... I think I need several more trips out there to get the courage to push 100%... and of course Bris and Matt who are as quick as some of the GTR boys but with just RWD... that's big balls right there (or simple madness I haven't decided yet LOL!)

top day and a top track... cheers to the WRX boys/girls for putting it on

ps. I may have been iceburg slow but my car ran beautifully on the way to work this morning! :( LOL

I haven't got the silicone piping kit yet, still waiting on supply from the UK. The clamps I have been using are the stock ones.

I borrowed a HKS hard pipe section from Ray Evans a while ago (I must get that to you Ray :D )

When the piping arrives I will put the good clamps on. I've had a few events since Winton last year when the old rubber pipe split with no issues, so it's a p.i.t.a.

I hadn't touched the rest of the system either :no: as it was reliable. It seems to be the pipe section that goes from the "twin turbo" pipe to the hard pipe section through the chassis rail that is the culprit as I recall Frank and Aaron having issues in the past as well. That is the one that split at Winton as well.

The thing that really burns me is that every single lap I did was getting faster, the last two sessions would have been interesting - so I will have to wait until the 20th of May for the next event there to get that 1.49 :O

great day for racing, and that shows in the times!

It's funny how last year the s series people vowed to be back this year.... more problems / delays, ah well i'm sure it will happen next year :D

some of the sau cars are getting so seriously quick, it's good to see.

It was sad to drive down early, and upon arrival have Dean say he was having a boost issue, one look into the compressor wheel and oh d d d dear, not even 15 hours old and nighty night shazza to the "new" garrett turbo... shattering, fingers crossed it's a warranty job, and can be repaired and reliable by sandown...

Here's a clip of my misfortune...:O

Right click, save as (4M)

HOLY COW ! - And I thought MY gearbox was busted . . . . :D

Hey Andrew, sorry for leaving My crap strewn everywhere next to You in the arvo - the guys wanted Me out at Siberia flagging quick-smart, had to just get the poor busted GTS-T off the jacks & RUN ! ! As for the 20th of May day - Does the Marque sports club mind "Jap crap" coming to play on their days? I might come along for a proper crack with a fully fit car, if I'm "Financial" again by then . . .

No problem. I didn't do much after the first timed session anyway :D

Nope, they are like most other clubs these days - it's all comers welcome to cover ever increasing track hire. There were 5 skylines there last time at Sandown.

Yeh, ive got the PI itch now. I may even like it more then Sandown....hmm will have to see. But need to fix whatever is wrong in my suspension before going back. Bouncing onto the straight looks/feels cool but its nto good if you want to push. When does the spend end?

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.

      Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.

      At first I thought these were knock offs....

      Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
