John, is it going to be back to back 10 min sessions all day. Its just that if i drive up from Melbourne i want to be sure to get plenty of track time...are you planning any 1/8 mile or go to Whoa?

Whats an estimate number of 10min sessions a driver will get? I wont talk it up as i wont be able to keep up with the Zed or any of the GTRs :D ...

(waits for John to read this)

What's happening on sunday? And what's this got to do with me?

You're the one that said that there's "no such thing as Z power" and that you have "never copped a whooping befor[e]"

So you've never driven at Wakefield before... How much circuit racing experience do you have? :D

Pffft have you seen the Zed lately? 2 fuel pumps hanging under near the diff, carbon fibre bits n pieces all over the place, talk about a heavy tank.... :headspin: John is probably at home right now getting high on V's :wassup:

Now Merli dont scare them off too hard. Sounds like beer talk though. It is only a zed after all. Blitz Why don't you show get your GTR out and waste the zed????

Sorry to hear Duncan won't be out there, can't wait though will be big. By the way 107.7 last at Wakefield.

We are currently doing lots of mods to it, things that will drop times. Motor not in the car yet but will be next week. By the way I need another mechanic, good one if anyone knows of any, email or call direct.

Roy you will get in plenty of ten minute sessions as it will be almost non stop all day, with a drift session in the middle for half an hour.

There is a case of Beer or V for any GTR or GTS-T that can beat the zed on the day, as well as a trophy. And a full admission on SAU and the ZEd forum that I got wooped by a Skyline. Even a handicap for tyres. Road tyres 2 secs semi slicks 1 sec. I will be running very second hand slicks.

I will be having a V early in the day ( my third in my life ) SHWING, so I don't want to here any excuses about this. I estimate half a second improve in every bottle. But double the dose NOT double the benefit unless it is drift contest. Yes Blitz it works on old guys too.

Now Merli dont scare them off too hard.

Wreckedhead has my full support :D As if I'd back any silly Zed over a GTR, no matter how many cheating additions you have on your boat :D

Let's hope John can get that motor in the zed, get it all wired up etc in time for this day. I haven't seen it for a 2 weeks but last time I did - it was on bits - major bits.

I've never done wakefield, are there any straights ??? I might come down and let the fat zed overtake (or lap) me just before the straight, then go past it on the straight for the photographers :D :D

does anyways have any pics of this ZED, casue just curious how it goes and what power it makes, not that im worried or anything but i used to have a zed and i spent about 10 grand on the motor and it was still a nugget, any videos or anything like that.

hey wreckhead, check the last HPI for its specs from about 12 months ago.

IMHO 107.7 is fairly quick. I reckon you will be around 1.14s, or if you haven't been on a circuit before I'm guessing you'll end up deeeep in kitty litter at turn 2....but you can always prove me wrong :rant:

B-man, its only got a little straight....you need to take it on at Eastern Creek

It goes better than your 10 grand nugget i'll bet :thumbsup:

it probably does go beter that my nugget, but that nugget is long gone, and king of the road had taken over, ive never actually raced my car on a curcuit befor, and i dont think its set up for racing casue of to much turbo lag, but its ok its all good and fun.

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
