Yeah, it is going to be mad..... We can get smashed and hopefully there aren't going to be any 'red lancers' around to tempt you into driving at 2am..

No ones answered anything about the 98ron fuel - are you guys bringing extra fuel with you?

[Snowman]

We have a new contestant for the Sunday to. The big Turk Emre in his 2530's driven R33 GTR will come down for the day!

[Snowman]

Quick Ice update cause I went down at lunch.

Adzs car is done. Just got finished when I arrived.

Roy - your car - the water leak is fixed, the engine runs fine - but the wastegate still is leaking big time. The were going to pull it apart and have a look at the springs as I was leaving.

But personally I think what your car really needs is a few kg's of C4. I think that would be the perfect fix!

On another point - BP in Cowes now sells Ultimate (as of 2 weeks ago!)

...water leak is fixed, the engine runs fine - but the wastegate still is leaking big time. The were going to pull it apart and have a look at the springs as I was leaving.

It only has an 8psi spring but i wouldnt expect it to leak that much, perhaps there is a bit if crud stuck in the seat of the valve...hope thats all it is. The internals were in top nic as i had to disassemble it before when a had the cast body bead blasted to clean up the scale.

Im heading off from work as i forgot my cars rego sticker then off to do soem shopping then stroll down to ICE and see the thing wants to run.

As for fuel i got no idea, i may pick up a jerry can this arvo just to save me running aound liek a headless chook over the weekend when i should be perhaps tighterning bolts on the car :Oops:

But personally I think what your car really needs is a few kg's of C4. I think that would be the perfect fix!  

Dotn even think about it, you all had your chance two weeks ago to blow it up when i didnt car...im so close now i just want it back :boinkcar:

[ferni]

stoked - they need to update the bp website then

where did you find that out Andrew?

[adznight]

We both rang BP Cowes about 10 mins apart, he'll think he's in for a big weekend!

[Snowman]

Well I rang the events co-ordinator and asked him and he said he didnt know but that they had just re-done the BP in Cowes - so I looked them up and gave the BP a call and the guy told me they just started receiving it 2 weeks ago.

Funny thing is Adz called him 2 mins after I did and asked the same question! haha.

Another NSW Team Track Day Invader ... where will you be working? Flexible hours i hope Calder on a Wednesday and Winton on a Sunday

[ferni]

I actually called them to double check as well (before i asked you where you found out from)... so make that 3 he said to me 'see you on the weekend' hahah

[GTRgeoff]

Winton is Fridays Troy (and Duncan). Hope the old 58Y made it home OK.

So who is going to bite the bullet and start the wrap up thread? PS I ran 1:58.5 as my fastest lap (and 2:03 on normal road rubber:( )

This was the most wicked weekend of track fun ever...REALLY

2 days of both wet and dry tracks with no major spills or lunched engines, even at 230+ into turn 1 and 165 at the apex. What oil surge

Also have to mention the phenomenal drinking sessions and making a new friend in Emre (hell everyone was great). Cool GTR33 mate

[ferni]

I was waiting for you guys to wrap it up, 1.58 hey, nice.. on stickies but, cheat

What did Emre, Andrew and Chris end up with today?

[Roy]

Hope the old 58Y made it home OK.

Yeh home safe and sound

I can even say i had a good weekend...

Hopefully next trackday ill have the car ready, thanks to Scotsman and Skylinegeoff for Sat night and you persistance under the car

Roll on the next track day, the weekend was encouraging, i have a whole shopping lists of excuses, but still happy with a 1:58 dropping back to 5 cylinders and missing pretty bad...with more boost to come and a few susp tweaks to be made the car will be quicker then me

Dunlop should put me on the payroll...i think there are a few more subscribers to the cheater tyre school of thinking

[adznight]

:burnout: Home safe, I'm stuffed but what an awesome weekend :boinkcar:, this will have to wait for the morning...

[Scotsman]

Fully enjoyed the whole weekend guys, cant wait for the next one. I ended up with a 1:52:49 on the last session chasing Andrew. Who's best was a 1:51 (low) which he had a few of.
