Well that was a fun day, even though it wasn't the actual day that we were originally aiming for I didn't mind the 5 lap sessions. The way my oil temp was rising I wouldn't have been able to do much more that that anyway.

Although I only went out there for some track time, after the second session I was leading the Modern Reg' part of the day so I decided to actually try any have a crack at getting a good modern reg' place. The next session I tripled my points for the day though and took myself down to third place then after a reasonable 4th session ended up with a second place for the day.

Started off doing 1:26/27's and by the end of the day was averaging 1:25's with a best of 1:24.73, not bad considering it was my first time to Mallala and was on street tyres.

Here's the days results;

hey Dale, you messed up that last session, its session 3 again.

Well done on the second place :D I wouldn't mind going to one of these again and giving it a decent go at getting consistent times.

Ok last few pics where a little large!

that red clubman is everyones favourite salesman from redline :thumbsup: but to his credit that machine was pretty awesome, shoulda heard the

sound the engine made (hiabusa) nearly wet myself!

ah cool old school user low post count = when he says something it counts

So true steve, If it wasnt for "Who" id have no interest in turbo nissans. Still remember when I was 15 and I was scared shitless by his converted turbo pulsar.

I was going to come participate Sunday, but didn't have any mountings for a fire extinguisher, the people who did go how and wwhere did you have your fire extuighsers mounted/secured?

Mine is mounted behind the passenger seat, where the back seat would be. It should be in a spot that is easy to reach.

Looks like I wasn't out at this day - but trust me I was there! It was a good chance to shakedown the GTR for the impending Porsche Super Sprint day I've entered this weekend. Probably a good thing I did too - blew a brake line on the pit straight just like the winfield gtr did on its debut!! Was a little difficult to pick the pace to ensure a >1:20 lap - and I failed at least once (black flagged!) but once I got into it it was great fun. Just braking early and no boost plus slowing on the start finish straight until over the line did it. Recommend these days to anyone and anycar - the dial your own lap time means laptimes don't matter, consistency is what counts.

Can't wait for Sunday now - fixing the brake problem at the moment, and a little oil cooler setup mod to help with the temp control and I'll be out. Oh - and you can do parade (passenger) laps at the porsche days.........shall we start the bidding???? :(

Hey Andrew, If your gonna take a passenger i would suggest lining the passenger seat in plastic for the seats protection :P

i cant wait for the next one now. Hopfully get some new tyres and pads and should be set. woo

i recommend qfm a1rm pads... they're really good all round, cold or hot you wont feel the diff, very consistent pedal feel and they seem to last a long ass time too.

GSL rallysport is doing a half price rears deal which means front and rears for $191... delivered. I cant say personally how they are compared to top brand items but ive heard that they're just as good.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
