Well car is all ready to go, I'm set, all is right with the world. See you at Vilis tomorrow everyone, will be good to catch up again Pete! Dave, if I don't see you in the morning I'll catch you at dinner tomorrow night

i'll see you guys at City Dismantlers tomorrow as GUNR35 is coming past my place first and going to Vili's is in the opposite direction.

weather forecast looks to be good so here's to a great day!

cheers - Kim

i hear a good day was had, but some of the GTR's had issues

I think my GTR was the only one that had an issue and that was the oil catch can spewing oil all over my engine. Made a huge mess and was a waste of Motul Chrono 300V but didn't prevent me from going out - it just meant that I had to clean my engine bay after every session.

Craig left early with his Stagea 260RS which was trailing a lot of black smoke on the track but I didn't speak with him to know what the specific problem was.

My best lap was 1:24.06 - I just couldn't break into the 23s but that was with a hand held stopwatch so that may have added the 0.07 :down::D

Ringlands were Craigs problem, severe detonation busted them real good. Any slight bit of curry and mass smoke. Poor bugger, heart goes out to ya Craig! Big thanks for letting me borrow the camera, I'll hook you up with it again soon :down:

Had a top day - thanks for organising the event Kim!

I was pretty happy to wring a 1:30.3 out of the near stock auto V35, which is the same time I was getting out of my old 6 speed S15 with 200rwkw. Definitely need better/bigger brakes to stop the massive fade and some much better tyres than the pos's that were on there. I find it completely bizarre that GTRs with nearly double the power only go 6 seconds (=7%) a lap faster .... I guess it is the nature of the sport. But scary too that Glenn's hairdresser's car (MX5) was doing 1:34s, and HELSLO's (turbo) Starlet actually beat me by around half a second. Yikes.

Burnt as faaaaaaaaaaark and going for yet another lay down now .... might call it a night (despite all the work I should be doing) and get up fresh and early in the morning *yawn*

    • If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok. 
    • Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions 
    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
