CAMS licence just turned up so we are going to head down... weather not looking great but I have to get out there.

Do you want to share a garage paul. Seems it's certain to rain at some stage through the day..

If you, me and Billywhiz (john) get a garage it's only $50 each.

My number is 0421332860. I'm in the black/silver/grey (lol) R32 with a big wing.

What car are you in?

Toughen up Princess! :) PI is the best track in Vic in the wet to drive on. LOTS of room for catching slides.

Plus - what are you going to do if its wet and windy @ Superlap?

Lol just saw your post.

Well I'm screwed if I can't get temp into tyres. Still deciding on mediums or softs for Superlap.Really wanting to test that and test the dynamics of the car at high speeds. Mainly turn 1. Being wet might make that hard. Anyway I'm definitely going now. Weather will be same as today or better. Might get a dry run.

Yep done! Will give you a yell in the morning once we pull in.

I am in Snowy's old (now mine :devil: ) white R34, z-tune kit.

Weather turned out good.

Managed a 48.9 until problems put an end to my day.

I had 2 dramas today. Seems that there is a exhaust gasket leak and we think a welsh plug decided to exit the front of the head, just behind cam gears. Coolant everywhere and all over the windscreen and tyres. I was going about 180kph at the time coming in to lukey heights.

Good thing is that this stuff has happened now and not at sydney.

Thanks Campbell for giving me a hand today and REON for coming down.

Nice to meet you Paul. You seemed quite at home in the car :)

John, did you break the 2 min mark?

Excellent day, didn’t hit my target, but a big improvement from my prior trip. Made big improvements with lines etc so very happy. Got the 4x15mins sessions plus a session with instructor so the fuel tank was vapours by the time I got to the servo.

Russell, shame about your woes cutting the day short, hope it works out, seems exhaust leaks were the go, mine started impersonating a tractor on the way home – to be investigated, food, drink n settling in to F1 Qual & Le Tour.

Nice meeting you too Russ, and big thanks to you and Campbell for helping me out with tire pressures and gear.

Excellent day here too, great intro to track work.

Started off pretty slowly to get a feel for the car, by the third session was blasting around passing everything.

Fourth session I really started to make some ground and finished with a 2:02 including a little traffic. Still plenty of time to be made up but in due course.

Pretty happy with that for a first outing. Also seeing I didn't sleep Friday night can't have helped my cause.. accomodation a must next time.

Would have posted a vid but the plug for the front facing cam popped out in the first session and I didn't check it all day >_<

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
