Private Track Day!

[writeoff]

I went into my window cam and found the spin I did with the windows down:

Nice.

If I had footage of all my spins I could have cut & pasted them together and added some Benny Hill music in the background.

[Damo_R34]

i hung the rear end out twice at turn one but managed to hold on

A+, good fun, will attend again.

few of my 44 pics:

wow awsome day! exceeded all expectations! the little rolla pulled a 1:32 with to much understeer and some over steer

hit 200kph down the back straight was great!!

spewing a busted a weld on the exhaust manifold..

already got my shopping list for next time!!

cant wait to go again!

[rad100]

ps, writeoff your car is such a pocket rocket, i was shocked man.. goes hard..!

now to get my cams license!

[Moodles2]

Going through my window cam and working it out by the footage, the fastest times I did were 1:27's (many times), averaged 1:28 if I wasn't caught behind someone. What kinda timers are everyone using?

My 2nd off about 1minute after my dirt bath:

and my corner exit onto pit straight tank slapper:

youtube links should be right now

I was behind you at one stage and it was a damn good match, was interesting looking at others peoples lines. I used the Race Chrono app on my Nokia (see below), I think it's available for iPhones as well and it's free! I was sceptical at first but it seems to be spot on from looking at the video footage. I had to download the Mallala track inside the app, which applies the GPS co-ords including 4 sectors. For each session it works out your best 4 sectors then adds them together for a theoretical best time which for me was a 1.25 - I wish!

awesome day. big thanks to adrian for organising the day, luke, luke and glenn for helping with my brakes, and wayne for running me to gawler to get another set of rear pads to turn into crispy nothingness.

I ended up going out for 7 sessions and reckon that I had about 30mins in total where I had the track to myself. Especially right at the end. Brilliant!

wouldve stayed out there with you, but my rear pads were gone (again) and i was surging badly, as you probably would have noticed when i was about to pass you coming onto the straight. but shit, that pug of yours is deceptive. i like it!

I'm pretty confident that I won the 'Most Spins' category with a grand total of 10

can i win the prize for most shit unnecessarily destroyed and most epic flame pops?

please?

Someone left a hammer against the southern wall of the 1st group of sheds closest to the track. Dave's (scandyflick) car was there most of the day.

black handled one im guessing? brendans maybe? i only had my orange mallet with me.

There were also some cables ties but I'm keeping those.

packet of small ones? mine.

PS - pity all the Jap crap out there couldn't keep going until the end of the day. How many casualties were there? I don't think my GTR would have survived 7 sessions & 10 spins.

lol, if it werent for my brake issues and fuel surging, i wouldve stayed til the end. i was having a ball.

love to know what sorta times i was running. best estimate is 28/29, pretty respectable i reckon. need to sort out a few niggling issues, like fuel surge and my alignment (way too much rear camber, not enough front castor) and give it another crack.

Summary of today.......FTW......end of sentence.

Great day! Thanks for organising the day Adrian Loved the Rolla, its def worth turning into a track car. Was good to see so many skylines out on the track and a few non skylines. I was pretty happy with the way my car ran all day, only had a slight ATTESSA fluid leak, not sure where its leaking from. I'll have to degrease the whole bottom of the car then try find it. Pretty Impressed with HESLO's speed, a set of good tyre's and you'll prob be faster then me.

Found this when i was loading the car on the trailer Time to bite the bullet and fork out on a set of big brakes all round.

[scandyflick]

ouch. and i thought my brake issue sucked. thats not cool man. isnt that the 2nd set of rotors youve sent to an early grave because of cracking?

Cheers bud, as I said, was very happy with how the car performed, bar the tires (which I knew were bad to begin with) and the water temp overheating issues (which I have a few ideas about how to fix) I was only running a smidgen over 1bar of boost today, what were you running?

Not good about the brakes! I had no issues with mine which I thought would be a weak point but didn't experience any fade at all. Probably meant I wasn't pushing hard enough

[Moodles2]

RDA or DBA slotted discs that are cracking?

[Tangles]

black handled one im guessing? brendans maybe? .

yup thats the one.

all's good.

[heslo]

yup thats the one.

all's good.

Cheers to you big fella for lending your helmet to my mate Pat, greatly appreciated

im somewhat disappointed that no one got pictures of my apparently epic flames...

dstryd

he's worked the clutch already now the brake, damn you must be lethal on those pedals.

Blame Craig's camera, I swear I got about 10-12 flames, BIG flames, plus the smoke billowing from your brakes all on footage but the bloody thing stopped recording. Would have been epic

[Munro]

I think I left 2 tyre pressure gauges on the beam in the RH garage, if anyone saw them please let me know.

Yep, was a good day. enjoyed it very much. Would of liked to stay longer but did manage to get 3 sessions in

with both the R33 & the R35 so happy with that.

Think I melted the tyres off the R35 - they are looking quite second hand now!

Having coolant issues with the race car but other than that was running well.

It was good to get it out there & get some practice in with the new set up.

Will have to get some vents organised because it is like a sauna in there with out any air flow.

Thanks for making it happen Adrian, well done. Lets do it again sometime soon.

That 33 is a sight (and sound) to behold Munro, props to you for building such an animal
