I'd come too but im afraid you'll disappoint me :down:

But thats a good thing for me :P I've been told by Tracy, if I break another bone, no sex for a year :D

We racers joke about crashing ... if you talk about it, it doesn't happen. But I have crashed out at Mallala quite a few times now ... altho not recently. Haven't crashed in about 6-7 track days ... so I'm due for one! :ermm:

I need to get out to Mallala and pick the pace up a bit and see how strong my shoulder is now to the hard braking on the bike.

might come down Ruby, its only down the road from me :P

Didn't you buy new boots not long ago? haha

Yeah I did get new boots a while ago. I meant "new helmet and gloves".

I've done one track day since I broke my shoulder earlier this year ... and I was slow the last time out at Mallala due to that psychological barrier from the crash. The groups are "slow", "medium", "fast" and "race". I'll put myself in the group under the racers. Just so I can pace myself and not be tempted to do stupid things with the faster riders. Tyres will need replacing after this track day, so I might not get good times anyway. I'm not even going to time myself. I'm just going to go and have fun.

I'd love to put myself in the medium group and really carve up some riders, but I'll be sent home for dangerous behaviour ... or forced into the faster group ... so I can't do that :P

:D

ill time ya :down:

I wouldn't want to know. :ermm:

If I have no expectations, I'll have no disappointments. Until I'm sure I'm not held back by the "haunting memories" of my crash, I know I'll be slower. Plus the threat of no sex for a year kinda hurts the motivation :D

When I finish work today I gotta race home and prepare the bike, check all fluids, brakes, chain, tyres etc. I shoulda done that during the week instead of leaving it to the last minute :D

Well i went into boostworks this morning just to confirm whats wrong with my car and they confirmed that my seals are gone so looks like i gotta start saving for some aftermarkets cause it's cheaper than getting mine rebuilt

I've still got a low km pair of R34 GTR V-Spec turbos in the shed that I may let go for $650 each otherwise you'll pay at least double that for after market ones.

Thanks champ i thought about getting stock ones on while i save for the upgrade but figure its too much hassle, switching em over and paying for them. im just gonna buy a setof GT2860-5s from either croydon racing or if i have the coinin time may try and get yours.... If they're not already sold by then

I've decided I'm going to do a track day at the Phillip Island GP track again early next year. Its been over a year since my last blast around PI and I'm itching to shit myself again going round Lukey Heights :down:

Road trip anyone? :D

Yeah Tim, my headunit hasn't and never has worked since I got the car from Japan last November and I haven't been bothered getting a new one. I just like listening to the RB26 hit boost!

...and listen to my music on my phone!

yeah i was cranking the mp3 player for a bit, but i just wanted something that was easier to use, i got am mp3 headunit so i only need 1 cd.

and ive only got an sr, it gets a bit boring to listen to after a while, haha.

    • I'm with GTS, that's not an actual overheat issue. That's an electrical issue.
    • So, it's clearly an electrical problem. Either with the gauge itself, or the sender. It appears to be voltage sensitive (ie, alternator output affects the reading.
    • Yes, at this stage of SAU threads, I  automatically assume that anyone here knows that everything depends on each and every setup and its choice of parts and what an individual wants from the setup. I think your misunderstanding what I've said, I'm not saying your curve will move to the right.. I'm stating the opposite; that my setup has a much larger turbo than my last one, my current exhaust manifold runners are 2-3x longer than the last one, the intercooler is longer and thicker (hks 103mm thick), the itbs are now oversized from 45mm up to 49mm, and the plenum is now a larger Nismo plenum that's been port matched. As a result, I'm making more power, torque and boost 1000rpm earlier than my last setup. My curve moved left, in a big way. You guys with 800-1000+hp turbos should be considering hks v-cam or the other Japanese company Sakura who makes RB25 Neo vct adaptor kits for RB26's. they all make more power / boost / torque far earlier and higher peak numbers. Dahtone Racing modifies the Hks v-cam systems to his own specs and he also developed the worlds first and best dbw individual throttle body kits, to complement his V-cam. Every single car is 800-1200+hp and they all produce huge gains in response and peak power. 
    • I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.
    • It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
