Kim or Luke - can we get another thread going with regards to the High Performance Course on the 23rd of November. I'm definately keen and got a mate at work with a 34 GT-T keen as well. Do we get a spot like the last one or just send in the form soon?

yep, will do. i just have to recover from all the administrative stuff involved with setting up the last track day! Luke and i will post up something soon.

thanks for all your positive feedback - i'm glad that you all had a great time and got some useful tips from the experience. Nov 23 will take things up several notches so i'm sure that you'll enjoy access to the full high speed circuit for the day. i hope to have my track car out for that event or might have something completely different by then. three months isn't that far away!

cheers - Kim

Yep, had an awesome time out there. Thanks a bunch for organising it Kim - the day ran like clockwork!

Thanks for the comments from other guys - yes it was bad planning to have so much damn work to do the night before, but it was the price I had to pay for taking the day off. Well worth it though and managed a solid 11 hours sleep last night to make up for it :D

Yeah David/writeoff, of course I wasn't going to leave anyone stranded out there :D .... what sort of mod/father figure do you think I am? Also note the Luke/Heslo stayed there with me until the very end, so he did his Daddy duties well too :D

I will have my new car for the next one, so will see how she goes on the track.

Photos here (click)

If anyone is concerned about their plates showing let me know and I will black them out. Couldn't be stuffed renaming all the photos, but I am pretty sure I left viewer editing on, so feel free to rename them if you wish. I resized them for internet/upload reality, but if anyone wants high-res ones, let me know - most high res pics are 8Mp so weigh in at around 2.5Mb each.

Nice pics Andrew, would love to grab all of them hi-res off of ya. Mind putting them on a CD for me pretty please?

Good to see David got home nice and safe, fouled plug(s) in the end yes?

Who said I was under 20km/h? Pretty sure the car is warmed down enough already when I'm like freezing my tits off :D

Scandy did afterwards (he was joking at the time). I was just shit-stirring Vu. No offence was intended. :D I didn't even see the incident so have no idea what happened.

Besides my view is that if you didn't spin at least once then you obviously weren't trying hard enough... at least that the excuse I'm using for my spin. :D

I managed to top out at 164km/h with my 200kw (boost set to 12psi).

My brake pedal was consistant all day, even after the 6 laps at the end of the day. I'm running RDA slotted discs up front with QFM A1RM pads and some unique autosports front brake air deflectors, nismo crossdrilled discs on the rear with genuine nissan pads and BMW dot4 fluid in the system (barely a week or 2 old), also have a Cusco brake cylinder master stopper as well.

Maybe its time to try the QFM brake pads....so far everyone i have spoken to that have been on the track recommend them so will chuck some in for the next track day.....

Epic failed are those f**king tossbag f**king wankstains f**king criticizing how I want to f**king drive on a f**king race track where your meant to f**king learn how the car behaves and learn driving techniques and shit and have a f**kING FUN TIME aswell.

f**king.

Come on guys... Enough now! Vu, I'm sure that what had been said was just shit stirring, I don't think the intent was to rile you up, take it easy bud! :D

Answered for Vu's quote

i had my moments but didnt spin....caught it on the last second stuff you know....

Krishy I would have thought your brake fluid would more likely be the culprit of your spongy pedal. What fluid were you using, and when was the last time you changed and bled it? Of course pads will help, but fluid is the most important imho.

i had PBR 500 or whatever fluid its called....replaced it a fair while ago so i am thinking that it most likely was the fluid.....well better knowledge for next time i guess

Once it's boiled it's useless, but even when it hasn't been boiled, over time the lines take on water and the boiling point is lowered alot. Just get about 2l-3l of cheap fluid and flush that through before next track day, will do a better job than old brake fluid even if the existing stuff is good like Motul RBF600.

PBR is cheap shit, use some good fluid like Motul RBF660

    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network. 
    • Hello. I have an a31 cefiro but since I am in Turkey we have a CA20S engine. I did some research. Then I found that I can swap with a ca18 but when I heard that it has the similar substructure as the s13. I thought I can swap with an sr20 because the sr20 was used with the s13. So can I easily swap the sr20 on my cefiro or is it difficult?
