Awesome day, as usual. Had some brake problems by the last session (i had none) and i got a broken windscreen but it was all worth it.

Did anyone catch my epic fail and recover on turn 1 on video, i want it sooooo bad, couldnt have done better if i tried

Thanks to all who organised, it was a very smoothly run event, now hurry up and do another one

Didn't catch it on video, but it was quite impressive. Just looked awesome!!!!!!!

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 :D

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

Sorry to the guys in Group 4 about the brake fade, could only stick it to you guys for 1 or 2 laps and then I was on the floor!!!!!! Car was only on the road a week before, still needs a lot to sort. Will hopefully give you guys hell next time and hope to see you all at Texi 2 :)

yeah little bit more practice for me would be good... need a little more power for the straight though :) everyone pulled away from me on the straight but i was going well through the corners

haha..awww :D

At least you are going well through the corners and getting your lines right..That the part that needs the most work on the track

Thanks to everyone for an awesome day! Was the smoothest run track day i've been to and good to see everyone going out and giving it their best, but also using their heads and not causing many delays! I had an awesome day, managed to set a new PB of 1:14.8 which i'm stoked with considering the car is completely stock! Also managed to chew out a rear brake pad and hence probably written off the rotor, i have a nice grinding noise from the left rear when i brake now, but all worth it!

Great to catch up with all the familiar faces and some new ones! I'm flying back to WA on monday, so time to tuck the car away again :D, tell me if there are any events that people know of in Sep!

kbai

oh ps. more pics and video already! I've got some onboard footage, with some good shots of other cars on the track, but waiting for Greg to get them off the camera :)

Almost had you in the last session Ian :D

You almost had me? You never had me - you never had your car... Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! You almost had me?

Diesel-V.JPG:rofl::P:D

first time on the track, and i've found out why lots of track cars don't have sun roofs, can't sit properly with a helmet on :D head kept hitting the roof.

also a big thanks to reece (turismo) for showing me the lines and taking me out in his car, 1 word, awesome. now to figure out whats wrong with my brakes and seating position and i'll be out there again!!!

    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
