Well had a great day, in the last session of the south circuit on the last lap she sprung a small coolant leak in the bypass cooling hose under manifold.

Great day good instructors best fun ive had with pants on. My first proper race track experience.

if you got your times recorded on the texi would love to see the results.

My quickest was a 32.23sec in the GTSt :) only got 4 runs.

awesome day, motorkhana was alot of fun, my quickest was 32.04, circuit was very good, had bit of brake fade on the hairpin and got in before the rain started

ran the car with stock actuator boost as a pre-caution in case i got carried away 1st time on track

both instructors were very good, heaps of information and pointers

+1

Had a great day - fun/non serious atmosphere, loads of variety of cars. Very nice BB BNR34 GTR in the last session.

Besides the "speed limit" I did manage to get up to a sneaky 140km/h down the back bit. Instructor was great - very informative and calm. Instilled a good level of confidence and level headedness. Motor held up fine - bloody over engineered the cooling system so the thermos didn't even switch on. Brake pads were the first thing to start to go, but only had a long pedal a couple of times over the sessions. Pity the traffic was so heavy. Would have liked to have at least one good timed session, but was stuck behind quite a bit of traffic.

Motorkhana times- I did 4 runs.

RWD: first lap - 33.82 then 31.82

Put the fuse back in so AWD

30.38 and best time of 29.67 before I pulled aside.

Got a bit of a round a of applause from the timing crew, so I don't think many were below 30 secs. Hope they put the times up, but don't think they were officially recorded. Only other sub 30 sec time I heard was an Audi quattro wagon. Wagon FTW!

All in all a great day!

good job, yah on my track runs my instructor said "that Sti infront isnt sticking to 100km/h, just go as fast as you can' so i managed about 135 up that main straight before the esses. was loads of fun, got to pass 3 cars in my 2 sessions.

The best pass was on a vt SS vommadore, all over him through the corners but struggled a little to keep up on staights but was waved through and left him behind on the next few laps. No brake fade the Bendix held up well. Just the slight issue of coolant but got her home no overheating at all. good old Skylines ;)

Yeah it was good fun. Rained during our track session so that made it pretty wild even with 4wd... Civic in front of me had a wild lift off oversteer spin after the sweeper down to the old turn 9; ended up off the track to the inside and not far off the wall.

Only got 4 runs on the motorkhana too and managed a 28.8 (got video of that run so I might post it up later - using the horn is key)

I did a 46 on my second last run !! haha

Was stuck on the spot and couldn't even get past the first cone, I said to the guy next to me this place is suddenly very slippery while I did like 5 donuts, clutched in and motor was still revving :/, throttle linkage must have gotten caught when I clutch kicked.

He said you better stop before we get in trouble, hahah he loved it

I am disappoint!

Blew a cooler hose off on the last session of the motorkhana and didn't realise till i went onto the track for the first session...so had to crawl around and make my way back into the pits to fix it. Coach was great though, (Bob) even helped me fix it. Went out again for the second sesh and lasted almost one lap before it popped again!

Fixed it once more and headed home...have now fixed the problem hose. Guess i should have done some more testing with the new cooler setup before hitting the track.

My quickest khana lap was 31.02. Pretty happy with that.

Gah! Beaten by a R34 GTR! Suppose thats ok ;)

Yeah, we were watching the last track session, and looked very slippery. Michael, I think your car is set up for drift! Had to creep round the turn near the pits to get around it!

edit- I reckon I could do that time if I had a handbrake. Have a stupid footbrake is useless, and I suffered massively for it.

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
