Was fun, I heard that there isn't going to be a Motoconcepts day for the month of Sept - time to go to Wakefield?

Some good pics there - including Roy's 85 degree drift in his Hino truck -

But they dont smoke:( . I still have much to learn.

As for lap times, i was apparently in the 1:56s, hand timed by sea sick passenger.

Oh and thanks to DoughBoy for handing over his keys when my Hino called it quits. I hate to say but im a fanboy :D

B-man, that one I did hold... was plenty of grip with those tyres on... but cost me too much to buy them so I only drifted on them once.

I strapped on some old "bedrock" tyres for the last few sessions and tryed my best to finish them off... sadly I failed after 4 sessions of giving them hell... one lap I drifted turns 2,3,4,5,7,9 and 12, not continuelessly (spelling) and they still didn't die... so they shall be making a return to eastern creek to be put into there grave. With these tyres one I had some pretty smokey looses!!!! All I believe should have been captured on film and I'm sure Prank will have them up shortly??? (Please please Prankster I really want to see how that rear veiw mirror shot worked, or didn't work)

Was a great day guys... I was in bed and very well asleep by 8:30!

Thanks all that came out to play... was good to see you all there and hope that you all had a good time!

Dan.

8:30? That's a bit soft considering you slept in :rofl:

I had fun in the little pulsar, didn't really explore uncharted waters but I had a bit of a fang around the track, it managed 170 down the straight. With a bit more track knowledge I could hold more speed through the corners and get my times down, but that's really a task for the next car which will also be RWD and more powerful... the pulsar is going to stay in the family when I get my next one so I have to be nice to it!

Thanks to Dan for organising, I enjoyed the day. :)

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
