Hey Doobs,

Do you own the slick black R33 GTST? Yeah I own the gunmetal grey R32 GTR V-spec with the proper (poxy) BBS alloys. Sorry I haven't replied direct to your message but I haven't got up 10 posts yet... also I'm a bit computer illiterate! Hope to see you at the track on the 17th.

Cheers, Ben

370z!!!!!!! Omg if you see me quietly fapping over your car please excuse me....... i can't wait to see one of these on the track!

Glad you're on board Mark and come say hi!!!! Well i might actually come say hi to you, and perhaps hop in for a passenger session :(

don't put the handbrake on when you park it after a session :blush: don't want cooked brake fluid.

Having the handbrake on after a session on the track won't be the thing that boils your brake fluid. It may very well fuse your handbrakes to your rotor and/or warp said rotor though :blush:

Best option is to put a choc under a wheel, that way you can't hurt anything that has warmed up...

Yep, and when choosing a choc, those huge Toblerones are the correct size and shape!

Best option by far is what Dan just said.....

Just bring along a couple bits of small timber with you and lay they down in your car spot, 1 at the back to roll up against and 1 at the front to roll over and keep you in position. This way you can leave the car in neutral, no brakes at all and let it cool down/leave running for 5 minutes after a session.

Also a big tip, on the cool down lap (in lap), don't go slow!!! 1 reason is it slows up the next session getting out BUT most importantly you need to maintain a safe speed to feed cool air into the engine bay, brakes ect etc to cool it down. So don't back right off! Helps reduce heat soak :blush:

Old sports socks over all reservoirs is also a bonza trick!! Just make sure it is secured by a cable tie or very tightly wrapped around it!!

Yeah that's the one. I might come down to watch as the car isn't quite reassembled for track work yet.

The garages at Wakey are pretty flat anyway, I find my car sits pretty sweet without leaving it in gear or with the handbrake up. Chocs can't hurt for an extra bit of insurance though :blush:

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
