I had a great time yesterday! First time on a track and DJ Brave said I got a 1.19 at some point. No offence to Wayne but I think my stock car on street tyres would have been a little slower than that, but regardless it will give me something to aim to beat for next time :ph34r:

I have found out I need to learn how to heal toe, I gotta brake way early at the moment with how I shift... or snap the clutch out and get compression lock up. Something to think about for my up comming driver's course at EC :D

I would love to see it as I have NFI how it sounds from the outside.

IMO, your Soarer was the best sounding car that day :)

I had a top day- thanks to EVERYONE involved in the organisation of the day.

I was very impressed with the skills and attitude of all the drivers, no serious mishaps and reasonable times is something to be proud off.

Hey all,

Finally home!!

Thanks to all that made this day possible and to all the people that attended and competed as well as the spectators. Was a great bunch of people out this weekend and alot of fun was had by all by the looks of it.

It just took Dave over an hour to clean all the mud off my car from the lil excursion into the mud he took :ph34r: If anyone got some action shots I would love to see them!!

Just downloaded the lap timer.... Dave managed an 1:11.2 and I managed a 1:14.2... considering my diff is fooked (open wheeling) and spun one wheel around half the track (even after turning the boost down and on slicks), I'm extremely happy my first real outing on the track in two years!!! BRING ON THE NEXT ONE!!! :blush:

p.s anyone got a 4WD system in development to bolt on to R33 Gtst's???? Puhlease!!!

Ah that was you!!! Dave was driving obviously!!! Was defintely good fun :D We made up heaps of time in braking but exit speed on the corners... not soooo good... lol

Yeah its an idea, but guessing I might need a floor pan also to be cut and shut in..????

The new diff will solve alot of the issues (sitting in the garage, ran out of time :) ), also I need to get new suspension as the Teins are at the end of their lifetime... and they are only height adjustable..

Hopefully have the car a bit more sorted next time, just glad that the engine survived its first major test... 2 sessions in a row all day.... and no oil cooler!!! I hate to think what temps the oil reached :D

Well... Sounds like you guys had an awesome time! I swear I am not going to miss the next track day!!! Something always seems to come up, last time it was a blown turbo, this time it was crashing the car :D Third time's a charm right? When I think of all the money I've spent and the fact that it still hasn't seen the track it makes me want to cry... endrant.

Good to see everyone had fun, wouldn't a cold day have been better for the car? Greg congrats on the fast times mate, sounds like you beat Chubbs :) Everyone else who knows me, I hope to see you all again soon with the new car :D

Hey All,

What a day.

I've always said i enjoy the SAU track days the most, and again I was right!

Thanks to all the organisers and helpers on the day. You really made it run so smooth.

The V35 held up really well, and looks like I'm down to somewhere in the 1:17/16's (hand timed) which I'm quite happy with considering I don't have one of those cheating turbo thingamajigs :)

I did a high 1:18 in the second session with a 100kg passenger and only got quicker as the day went. Mostly because I took some "grow some balls" pills at lunch, and actually started braking where I should have been all along :D

Definitely get some hi temp fluid and decent pads.... I can't remember who but one of the 32's in Group 4 was having massive brake fade all day also....

yeah, should run quite a bit better... the ass was all over the shop to say the least, only able to put the power down in a straight line! .. Boost was wound down... but we did have the brakes/camber sorted... :D Still haven't added the last 10psi to the tune yet either. Started out at 16psi in the beginning of the day, think it was down to 12psi by the end of day trying to get some exit speed :)

All in all it was a great learning day for the car... and Daves dorifto skills !!!

Yea I have to agree,,,so many new drivers did very well.

Thanks for the time in the passenger seat Simon,,,so nice and bloody warm,,,. Pity there's no real lap times,,,I'm thinking you would be in the top 6.

Next time bring the Vee dub.

Neil.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.

      If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.

      If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
