The Great Day/night Race Adventure

[Duncan]

haha you never know until its too late eh?

The pad brand is hawk but I didn't catch the compound name - will find out and post up.

the rest is just crappy standard brembos with dba4000 nonslotted discs. and they worked perfectly all night despite how bad the photos look.

[Duncan]

Ben, the compound is Hawk DTC-60. $320 a set and I am very happy with them so far.

get them from race brakes sydney 9609 1101

[Marlin]

Thanks Duncan, if the big girl doesn't sell we'll likely give them a run at Rally Burnie

Now, if only they had a night stage so we could get some cool pics like yours! lol

[giant]

dont you get us 4wd sport sedans banned Duncan! before we even have ours built!!!

[Duncan]

lol mines not built either remember. this is a poor old production car running 11psi

but it was funny some of the stuff that ended up behind me for the first lap (until they streaked past on the straight lol)

Great write up

Peeved that I could only stay an hour or so, as I had a whole list of things to do before flying off to Singapore the next day

Is this how you kept the black stuff in Jess's car when you stole her sump plug?????

[Duncan]

lol luckily the sump plug as at home near by.

But history has shown that yiou shouldn't bring a gtr if you are coming to watch me race lol.

right richard? and the poor old stagea lost a few bits too.....most troubling is that caster rods are the same between stagea and 32 gtr....

Cant wait to see the adventures for EC this weekend with Neil!!

Jess,,,16 degrees,,,windy and rain is the weather report,,,I have new tyres and brakes to bed in and can't see any of that happening.

Wets are already on the car.

I'm a little pissed off and nervous at the moment,,,E/C is my fav track and looks like I could be a spectator for most of the day.

Duncan,,,have you any idea how many people have seen that great pic of your brakes,,,One of my customers sent it to me for f**ksake.

I'm happy we have actually found a pad that can handle your abusive feet.

Everybody thats looked at that pic thinks theres something wrong with your brakes.,,,Only a couple of race heads thought it was close to normal.

We can improve them more,,,the thought doctor is in my head.

Neil.

[benm]

Can't believe I missed this event, looks like so much fun. A couple of questions Duncan:

How many laps was each race?

How long between each race?

What time did it start/finish?

I'll head out for the EC round.

[Duncan]

neil...that is damn funny. I was actually working on the brake ducts today....I'm sure only nissan was kind enough to put brake ducts on cars all the way 20 years ago

Ben...the day night meet is kind of unique - Qualifying + 5 races in 1 day, ran until 10.30pm. Normally it is qual and race 1 on sat, and 2 races on sunday and all over by 5pm.

Because it was oran park south they were long races - 12 and 15 laps. The sprint races are normally shorter, 8 to 12 laps about 20 min each (which is still long enough to work that hard). In addition we do 2 enduro rounds each year which are 2 sprint races and 1x 1hr enduro. Just enough fuel in the tank to run for 1 hour.

[Duncan]

hahah the lamps have had a work out lately, in fact both bulbs blew the other day which left me with the lead light. last night i got the oil gauge relocation/senders sorted and the wierd alternator problem. remaining to do is the new clutch line and slave (leaking), new brake lines, fix console, get tacho working, charge the dorian, fit the new shocks and springs, set the ride height, corner balance and wheel align (hahahah asif)

[Duncan]

oh and i really should put a better exhaust on it now we don't have to run standard size any more
