I had a very fun day, couldn't have had more different cars than the Leaf and Stagea, but they both ended up with very similar times.

Very strange seeing a Leaf get thrown around. So quiet. Perhaps you need to fit something like this?

That would be me

Would love to know who the person was who asked to stick their go-pro on my car with about 15mins left in the day and got a recording of my last run. I was the silver R33 with the chrome lip'd 18's who had a passenger most of the day.

that was me ( I think ) I have random runs from the end of the day and will post up soon ( maybe tonight ) .

lol. the audio from the camera on the roof picks up us talking/navigating around the course from outside.

It's kind of a ninja car. :ph34r:

but i want to see the timesheets before I write it off as a race car

i need to take may front shaft out next time. I want to do real skids.

You said shaft.

Well Done Eric, FTD on all 4 courses.......

Actually Anna set fastest time on the Jack Rabbit course. But very pleased since I only jumped in for one or two runs.

haha reece I think he fudged those numbers :P

I need to really do more than 1-2 goes of each course... where is my -5 second style bonus for linking them all in drift mode!

Have timing sheets to prove it and there is no evidence to confirm bribery. ;)

I am upset now - I do not mind Kel being faster than me and if she was driving the Stagea it would be fine but I have a problem being slower than the Leaf :blush:

This gives me an incentive to improve my driving or do some more mods just to keep up with the Leaf next time......

haha as well as her finely honed driving skills, I reckon the way the leaf puts the power down may have helped a little. We have shocks, springs, semis and a longer extension cord due before next texi :)

    • 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
