Excuse the French, but holy shit one of the best f**king days of my life, first couple of laps were a bit terrible, then tried to go faster and braked too late for a couple of laps, then felt like it smoothed out toward the end :)

Perfect day for it, and a really good turnout. Definitely should do it again :)

f**king EPIC!!!11!!

I'm hell up for a working bee BBQ on anyones car. I need to learn a heap more about this. But as Jack said earlier on monthly is probably a bit too much for my budget, keen to go along to watch if others are going though.

Pity you couldn't make it mate, really good day :)

Yeah what an epic day! I had heaps of fun just hanging out, got a ride in a couple of cars too which was awesome.

Here are some Pics.

Missed a good track day Toff.... sun was out, air temps were down and there was only half a dozen cars running so everyone had heaps of time on the track.

Good day and it was good to put names to 'screen names'

yeah i'm spewin , teach me for leaving things till the last minute :( , wasn't game on tracking it with a loose ball joint , i ended up getting a mate to drop me one down but figured it was too late by 2pm to come out . you busy tomorrow mate , i'll call you re parts around 12-ish

annoyed i couldn't get out there can't work out whats going on with my brakes rant.gif

looks like it was a good day, hopefully ill be there for the next one

i got a hoist if you need it in the air one weekend? , what are your brakes doing??

who crashed their car btw! hope the damage isn't too bad

Edited by toffy

i have a super soft pedal almost to the floor soft & no rear brakes bled them numerous times but still nothing theres no pressure getting to them.

master cylinder fail?

all in all, i had an awesome day! 1st laps out was shit due to mass missfire in high rpm range.. lucky had some new plugs thanks to the awesome jamie , swapped them over.. and it appears he took a photo lol.. turns out 5 plugs were .7 gap.. 1 was 1.1..... lol... car ran beautifully next few runs until i took brodie out, several laps, new pb.. car decided it needed to get super hot (115) and steam itself up in the pits lol.. all in all ive decided.. i need a new diff.. gearbox.. and a bunch of niggly issues fixed before next outing. good to meet people again!

also... jacks car... an animal... i swear he was trying to show off since i was in the car.. with all those spins :-P

not noticable in daily driving mate, if it's soft all the way to the floor nearly , i'd be checking all of your brake lines/calipers for leaks or signs of tampering :) , does it loose fluid at all?

the booster is working fine? you probably can't tell but if that's worn/damaged it can cause similar issues

It was Tim who had a bit of a spin a little in front of me on the hill, brakes locked up and did a little spin :) basically completely pulled up before the tyre wall though, damage was a slightly bent exhaust and a few scratches on the rear left panel :)

My entire family turned up to show support at the exact point this photo was taken and thought I had trashed my car :P

also... jacks car... an animal... i swear he was trying to show off since i was in the car.. with all those spins :-P

hahah, oh its not very friendly is it! same boat as you mate, got some things that MUST be done before i hit the track again, the beast must be tamed =)

    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
