Oh I love these road trip and overnight stays....its half the fun.

The day was great thanks to all the organisers. I loved the back track....next time maybe we can do the whole course lap style rather than a section with chiacine. I know there are a lot of people who wished the chicanes weren't there and would've loved to do that last corner as well as the WHOLE main straight.

The track itself is scary especially when you are on povo wheels and you feel the grip go.

now those with photos....CHOP CHOP!!!! I wanna show my workmates

Was good fun. My car is filth now tho. Will post pics up later.

Next time we need to manage more runs on the circuit . . . . somehow

Yeah black cars just looked like shit after the skidpan

Dont worry about the track runs - ive already got that covered for the next one :laugh:

Canberra is a freken huge roundabout!!!!!

I went to get BP Ultimate at Kingston. Getting there was fine, then I was trying to find a way back to the place we were staying, but ended up doing happy laps round and round Canberra. :laugh:

I just wanna post this up again:

Haha. I'll have to, i only tasted RWD today.

I certainly could have used a 2-way around the donut cone all tho no help needed falling off the track any where else

I was going for the 'most original way around the skid pan' award but got upstaged by a reversing a31 ;)

    • I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years. 
    • Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner
    • That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?
    • In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR. 
    • For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
