Do you mean you take your front splitter off for trackdays? I just have a piece of webbing tied to the tow hook and out through the vent just incase.

r u driving down in the morning? given we live in the same suburb maybe meet at the BP and head down.

hey joe, yeah i need to see this webbing youve done and steal that idea. for the time being though i have to take it off. i somehow hit the front lip going around one of the corners at sandown. dunno how but ive cracked it. ive become quite a pro at taking the splitter off but i'd rather not.

which bp do you want to meet up at?

First time out at Phillip island had a great time

Got a 2.08.4 best lap for the day

Thanks to anyone who helped me with my alarm issue had to listen to it all the way home

I just removed it so don't need to put up with it anymore.

Looking forward to the next round of Motorsport.

yes good day at the island. great to catchup with all the SAU lads as usual.

new surface is super smooth and quite a few pb's today I think!

overheard a conversation from the winkleporker porsche garage "theres a datsun doing 44's!" hilarious!

Some Datto though. BTW did a bit of 911 munching myself, my wife informed me that it would probably have been a geriatric driving - nice!

Thanks goes out to the crews that make these events happen, special mention to Nick Luxton who fixed my suspension at the start of day, which meant I got to enjoy one hell of a day.

Too funny dude!

Another first timer at PI, farken loved it. Best time was a 1:59.6762. Have never heard my tyres squeal so much, love to get back out there with some decent rubber!

Have to thank the bloke who came out with me first session to guide me around the track and gimme some pointers. I'm f**king rubbish with remembering names but he said he had a couple fords (F6 typhoon and Capri's) and had taken a charger around the track? Either way, was really helpful and much appreciated.

What a day!!

Thanks to the WRX guys and gals for putting on another great event. Plenty of track time for anyone who wanted it :-)

I think everyones tyres were squealling......seemed to be the new surface as my tyres are usually silent.

Good times with Richo and my bro Chris thrashing around in close company!!

Painting your car pink. Photo's aplenty of yours, but only a couple of me! lol, just another silver r33 with black lip and carbon wing.

Well the bearings in my front turbo that had done all of 25kms decided to let go again - session 1, lap 1, turn 1!

The jealousy levels were very high. Track was looking beautiful and the weather conditions pretty much spot on.

Looked like another strong showing by the SAU crowd...great work!

Some awesome times being set by all....great work Richo and Sinisha :woot:

Sinisha got done for sound, didn't get many laps at all.

The porsche guys were putting soft drink cans on their exhausts and diverting the sound away.

Paul, wtf! That is massively sad :mad:

Really.

Yeah, not sure what was going on. Think I need to play around more with tyre pressures. I was getting some neutral 4 wheel drift going into the corners, but wasn't game enough to push harder, because it was squealing at all four. Just wouldn't corner for some reason.

    • The 1000ccs are side feeds but they're not currently installed, had my old factory ones in for leak testing purposes, only decided on them because front facing plenums and good top feed rail kits are out of my budget at the moment, are they really that problematic? Had a set of yellow jackets that lasted me 5 years, no real issues, only replaced them chasing this misfire issue that ended up not being ignition related 😄  
    • Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....
    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.
