Yep - I'm officially stoked.

I ran a 1:24.76 on my 4th session. BIG thanks to Snowy for showing me some lines - that really helped. It was a 4 second PB for me! :thumbsup:

I'm even happier with the results considering the car is essentially a exhaust and tune (230awkw) and some semi comps. Stock suspension and brakes at this point. I can't wait to get back out there with some suspension.

Mav - No worries mate!

Bring on the next track day! :angry:

Here is some of the footage I took from Sandown (19/8/07)

Some external footage (mostly commodores and 1 VW) I sat out this session due to some noise issues which were fixed later in the day.

Save as - 12mb

My fastest lap for the day - 1:25:91 :thumbs:

Save as - 6mb

The first supersprint - Hung (red classic porsche) jumped me off the line but couldn't quiet make the LHS of the camera shot, sorry Hung, nice try! :giggle:

Save as - 31mb

I didnt actually run so my car is still in one piece :D

Meh, after your cheap shot at my car. Coming to a track day with not enough pads idoesnt fly. Hell, even i changed my pads on Saturday as the old ones were a little past 50% :thumbsup::angry::P

I had two sets of new DS3000 front pads with me. But i'm saving myself for the real race.

Start of the day, pads = 80%

End of the day = 15%

here's a few of my in-car vids

My quickest lap - 1:33.2

Passing the blown Banana, that was a sad site

Collage of sideways action

Limping to pits after an intercooler hose blew off

Good vids people

Dont even bother replying mate. I was only stirring....plus i am just tired and shitty, and probably a little sensitive. My car will have to continue to be an unreliable wreck as im not going to commit the money it requires to get the car to the level of some others :) It will do me. It just hard to sit back and watch so may other guys go so quick :D

The Stig was on a mission for a 17, but driving with anger was not going to cut it.... Smooth is the Stig's style, but the gearbox wasn't up for another session...

Although it was great entertainment for the spectators, so I was told anyway.....

That it was Jack, that it was!

Nice work too Matt, that's really f**kin quick for an essentially stock car!

Jenny (Timetronics) didn't know how to prepare that sheet, we tried but it wasn't grabbing the lowest times.

Ian returns from timing the V8's at Oran Park today and I have already asked him to prepare the summary page and post it on the natsoft site.

So stay tuned. ;)

5 35 Andrew Richmond (1) Toyota 79 :LOL SKL 3 2 1:19.5813

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
