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 great day guys, always learning, looking forward to getting out there again with some improvements to my car. well done to those who helped organise it. Good way to spend a sunday, with like minded datsunoholics

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 =)

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
    • Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?
