Noooo..... never :happy:

DAMN i wish i went to the track day

You should have, there will definately be more however. In the mean time, maybe try this to get a feel for it. A bit less hard on your car and you'll learn an assload

yeah track days pwn, so going to get off my ass more and get my car back on the road

Damn straight mister, get it going! ;)

I would but i only have a ford laser until mid-last next yr

What a day. For my first time out at Mallala I had an absolute ball. Good to give my car a real test on the track. Also I managed twice to pull a 1.29 which I was pretty happy with. Thanks to the execs for organising such a successful day. Now I can't wait for the advance driving course to learn a bit more so I can bring my times down.

well i had fun. I think i need moar powah.... held a few nice slides through turn one though. I managed a best time of 1:30.7, which is is 2 seconds faster than my personal best and gave a few of you turbo's a run for you're money! Looking forward to the photographers pics of me and josh at the southern hairpin.

Also a note to the organizers; mustaches should be made mandatory for all future track related events.

The times will be up Late tonight or tomorrow, it's taking ages to type them into Excel and i need a nap now as i'm knackered.

thanks again for organising the timers and taking up your entire day (and night) to get us a timesheet - very much appreciated!

Personally I found the instant good/bad/best lap feedback was awesome - let me link the way I'd taken each corner with the resulting time much better than getting the times after the whole session. What is the brand of the timer? I'm going out to get myself one for future days...

Cheers

Thanks to all those that helped put this day together :happy: I had an awesome time out there, gave my car a hard time all day slightly improving my lap times throughout the day. Set a new PB of 1.20.64 i think it was :D Car ran like a dream all day, went through a front pair of QFM Comp9 pads on the front and A1RM's on the rear and cracked another rear rotor :/ Rear brake calipers started the day painted red and ended up pure black from being so hot ;)

I have some video footage that i'll get to during the week and post up, think i got most of the cars out there.

hi guys,

thanks for letting me test my "other car" out there today. with less than 100km on the new setup and tires (of which 60km was driving to the track) i got to warm everything up nicely and nothing broke (well nothing that i have found so far) for a series of 1'26 laps.

after a neat 1'26.3 (with Group Four's R35 GTRs circling around me like hungry sharks) i called it an early day before anything went wrong (or i was tempted to test the limits).

was a great bunch of people out there with a fantastic atmosphere (the club bbq was a great idea) and i look forward to the next SAU trackday!

cheers - Kim

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
