Great event with the sun even breaking through the clouds every now and then.

PB for Ant and I've finally got a time for PI!

Results

I'm stoked with a 48. Faster than I expected on tyres that are now 14 months and 7 track days old.

Missed ya Bris.

You'll have to make up for it at deca :)

What an awesome day! The forecast all week was not looking good for the weekend and certainly Sat lived up to the hype. However Sun proved to be pretty good weather for racing at PI.

After a day of mixing it up with slick shod GT3 cup cars, ex V8 supercars and pretty much any other car you can think of, I ended up with a new PB of 1:47.14 besting my previous by around 2.5 secs. To say I'm wrapped would be an understatement as my goal for the day was to get into the 47's let alone a low 47. Big thanks to Russ - without us trading times and having a ding dong battle via the timing sheets all day I probably wouldn't have pushed as hard as I was.

Despite a small group from SAU which is the norm these days at track events :P it is a good indicator of the depth of driver talent when every class we were put in (rightly or wrongly :banana: ) has an SAU member at the top of the tree - congrats to all and once again an amazing effort by Russ :blink:

Dane - where were you? I would've thought with some Radicals on track you would've been there for sure. That was no ordinary Z...put it this was the model badge at the back said 600Z instead of 260Z giving us a clue - passed me on the straight like I was standing still :rolleyes::banana:

Incar vids to follow later in the week.....

What's the go with the 260Z?

I've been informed it's an ex-Nascar engine with custom 4wd system in the old 260Z shell. Kevin Mackrell is the driver. Absolutly crazy speed in a straight line!

That's what I'm there for :D

Ahhh yep, I've seen that Zed do a hill climb before. Very, very quick!

I was at Presidents day for the Porsche Club on Sunday as I wanted my lady friend to go for a ride in a club car and see what it was all about. Would have liked to come down though.

The day ran pretty well and we got heaps of sessions. An outback went front on into the outside (?) wall at the hay shed. There was talk

of carnage the day before though. Aquaplane and crash on the front straight?

That's not true mate. You've just gotta stop tinkering and start driving!!!

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.

      How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
