Ok got the wheel stud changed tonight, filled up the jerry cans and then realised I have left my helmet at my parents house down near phillip island (2 hours opposite direction) DAMMIT!!

Has anyone else got a spare helmet I could borrow for some cash? I got a largeish head so L or XL normally. Otherwise I will have to pull the pin dammit.

Good to hear no trouble, hope everyone had wide brimmed straw hats! I had a small gap while stood at the BBQ and the sun found it!

I'm itching to get out again but even if I didn't have brake issues would have struggled to get to this with it being a big family day.

Mate it was sunny all day and 35deg ish. Nothing like melb was.

Paul and Kat...errrr exceeded the melting point of their brake pads, as did Chris in the ///M. All had to have a rest for a little bit.

I blew a water hose, Rob blew some studs in the exhaust manifold (leaking gas). Chris sent the RSR's to their grave. Scott mowed the grass.

Dion was blowing oil and leaking boost via the BOV.

Still was a good day with all of us there.

Looking at the ind. laps on Natsoft - Kat got an actual 1:52 in the second session - not just me running around with her dorian - she is stoked for her first outing at the track!!

Double entered cars on hots days = no dice. Our tyres were only good for the first full lap before they started getting mushy - but couldn't drop pressures for fear of delamination. However saying that if I had put some decent brake fluid in on Wed night the silly little car would have performed flawlessly given the conditions.

Look forward to hitting Winton again on a more moderate day.. and in a Skyline!

    • Aren't these run off of high voltage in OEM applications? Like 200+V. Or at least 48V in mild hybrids. At ~18,000 BTU ballpark nominal capacity the power draw is at what, 2.2 kW? ~185A is a pretty crazy amount of amps. At 200V it's only 11A. The 70A nominal kits with up to 100A peak draw I see for stuff like classic Porsches have pretty substantial compromises like shutting off at idle and not actually managing to keep the interior cool in hot conditions because they can only output like 6000 BTU. IMO if I had to pick what high amp draw component to retrofit to these cars I would start with the engine fan, not the AC compressor. You need an ~850-1000W brushless fan, something like this: I would love to see the data but I would bet that whatever you save by running the AC compressor in a more efficient regime with an electric motor you're probably losing to conversion losses anyways. It's not really like a clutch fan where you're losing power all the time even when it's nominally disengaged and it gets worse as it engages because the envelope tracking isn't that precise.
    • I am a volunteer marshal at the Grand Prix. As such, I get a "friend / family" ticket. It is a general admission ticket, valid for all 4 days. Anyone interested in my spare pass, please DM me. Ticket is "free, gratis and no expense".

    • Bit of a long shot but if anyone has 4 of these laying around in new or near new condition. I will happily buy them off you.     https://skylinespares.com.au/product/stabilizer-door-glass-inner-new-8032404u03/?srsltid=AfmBOop6L5EgUFaHPHiVXoAhv5k8aJYwc77nGmoApp-hY03OiOsNVaOv Thanks 
    • I'm wondering is the Toyota and Mazda "collaboration" could see that new Toyota ???G20 ??? turbo engine that they have been showing off recently into a future MX5, apparently it's good for 400hp out of the box That could easily, possibly, be much better than the last collaboration between Toyota and Subaru with the boxer engine in the twins
