Trackday At Sandown 12th June

[Russman]

Nah turn 2-4 are the scariest. Thanks to all involved and flaggies out in the wet.

Jarrod... You're a stirrer. You just wanted to see carnage! Best spot on the track for it though.

Shame about your engine Nick. Hope it gets sorted soon and cheap.

[R32Big_boy]

lolz, turn 4 was tops, i saw all the spins and handbrake action from russ you maniac!!!

Thanks Guys

Hope you all had a great day and learnt a little as well.

Sandown is certainly a splippery sucker in the wet !

You all now officially HEKTIK !!

Kind regards

Kev

Few pics

[Al]

More PICS!! any action shots?

[Russman]

Nah sorry. I was driving most the time. Good value for money in regards to track time though. Jarrod should have had a camera.

[Al]

Russ, as you had one hand out the window, while doing some fully hektik slides, i am sure you could have managed to hold a camera and snap some pics.

was a great day.

I ened up doing about 30 laps so I got some good practice in. Russ was funny...did some nice slides.

Apart form the rain I had a great day and learnt a lot.

cheers to all who helped out... it was a tough day to be a flaggy! it took me a while to work out it was Jarrod at turn 4... kept wondering why this clown was giving me the blue flag when I had half the track to myself! haha

was a new experience going round there in the wet tho and it helped me improve when it dried out, I was a lot smoother...

so yeah I still haven't called my mechanic to find out his diagnosis, I'm too scared... but its probably safe to say I won't be on the track again this year:(

huge thanks to Chris for driving me home so far out of the way, and everyone who helped push the whale out of the pits! hehe

Yeah it was a bit cold ouy there Nick..

It was a sad moment to see your R33 leaving Sandown on the back of a Tow truck.

Hope its not to bad and your back on the road soon..

[Al]

OH NO Nick, sounds like you followed in my footsteps What happened?

Hope it's nothing too serious and it doesn't cost you big $$$$'s to get it back on the road.

Kev, Debra, Phil & Brett,

Nice to see all of your familiar faces again. It was an awesome experience. I think I might have been bitten by the circuit bug thanks to my (I know you like this word Kev) "Virgin" run. :laughing-smiley-014:

A thousand thanks to all the instructors, flag marshalls (Brett and Phil how did you like the massive slide on turn one?), caterer (I really didn't think the food was gonna be so lavish! I was expecting mystery bags and bread!), fellow drivers and the strange and friendly parrot.

See you guys next round.

Track slippery?

Cheers,

Lydz

accelerating out from the 3rd last corner in 3rd gear, heard a clank, clank clank, pulled off into pits, called tow truck...

I reckon its a big end bearing (again aghh) but it could be a valve or something else, its up on the hoist today top see whether the noise is coming from the bottom end or head

I ignored the whole oil surge/bearing issue that plagues the GTR guys... but definately going to get the oil feed restrictors in there this time etc... goes to show you can still have problems running stock turbs and street tires

meh... rebuild thread coming soon;)

[Espo]

Sorry to hear Nick.

Hehe... yeah.. it has been 4 years since i've had my R33 you know!

I'm an old-new member, i'm mostly in Nissan Silvia forum now anyways. Back then I was the rare girl driving an import so it was rather intimidating to socialise with the community.

Thanks, I guess a have an advantage in the wet as i'm not afriad to slide. I always try to be as interesting as possible (show pony!)

How close was I to hitting the wall on the last corner coming to the back straight?! I almost sh*t myself... almost.

Till next time fellas!
