Ten tips to a good day

1.)Oil level is at the Max mark on the dip-stick

2.) Coolant - ensure the overflow/reservoir is full

3.) Brake Fluid - ensure the fluid is at the Max marking in the reservoir

4.) Clutch Fluid - ensure the fluid is at the Max marking in the reservoir

5.) Check that all pipe-work is secure and no hoses are becoming loose

6.) Check that your battery is secure and does not move

7.) Make sure that all caps are on and secure

8.) Suitable material left on your brake pads

9.) Tyres are in good condition and wheel nuts tight

10) Nut behind steering wheel secure

9 out of 10 aint bad

See you all tomorrow guys and girls

1 1/2 ltrs of oils in the can 2 1/2 ltrs in-on-around-under the car with god knows how much I dropped on the track.

First lap was slow as they left the red light on most the way then when it was turned off I gassed it to the last turn braked then mashed it down the straight, slow into 1-exit 2 and headed up to 3 with the arse slipping around which I put down to cold tyres, went around again with the arse playing silly buggers then at the exit of 2 heading to 3 it tanked slapped me around a bit and I went off, I got back on allright but it done it again in the exact same spot AND I lost powersteering so I came into the pits to see WTF was up.

Popped bonnet and the cold side was covered with oil and both the powersteering and aircon belts were off, on further inspection the aircon belt was torn to peices and wrapped around the fan with little bits everywhere while the P/S one had its arse handed to it but not as bad(had alot of the cord ripped out).

Oil came from the catch can which is where I got the 1 1/2 ltrs (volume of the can) from.

Filled up the car with 4ltrs of oil (sump holds about 7), moved the bits of eaten belts and came home.

All in the first 3 laps.........................................................:rant:

The oil sprayed onto the belts causing them to slip off. Let us know what they do about ur engine.

Had a great day today. Few bingles at the end of the day unfortunately. No body hurt luckily.

Time for me to get some decent tyres on the front to get rid of the oversteer and hopefully my wilwood brakes turn up this week. My brakes were a big let down.

yeah thanks people it was ace, no injuries to my pride other than a flat spotted tyre and the odd backwards moment into the dirt.

i wish some other people (Eric) could say the same..poor bugger, keep us posted on devs and if you end up getting any kind of recompense from the offender.

managed a personal best of 1.15.8 so pretty chuffed with that though i know theres lots mores in it!

bring on the next track day ASAP!

pics etc up after i pass out..

Forgot to say I have some pics on my facebook, not sure if you can see this, if not feel free to add me! http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=272781&id=652446637&l=04a9065e42

And also MASSIVE thanks to Steveo for standing there all day on pit lane, and to AggroDave for sorting out all the entries and forms and shit. You guys rock for the time you put in!

    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
    • Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney
