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.

    • Or get a guy in his early fiftys to do it. A single good "oof" and about two cracks from his lower back is about the right tightness...
    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees.
