I was wondering if any of you guys have been on wakefield park before, and what times you pulled off.

It was my first time there and i managed a 1:18.3190 In a stock r33 gts-t, beat all the other "modified" skylines there.

what suspension etc do u have

the breaks tyres are fine... the tyres had only done about 3000KM but have been warn quite abit, still HEAPS of tread left. and i havnt noiticed any break fade, exactly the same as when i got there.

I did abit of drifting so the tyres are abit more worn than other ppl, but i only did 28 laps,i went out for 3 sessions instead of 4 to give the car a break to cool down.

i've bene out there! i LOVE that track! but at the moment i suck at it!!! i'm only doing 1:19:03 and thats with me timing myself on my phone while driving! ;) so who knows how accurate it is :)

i've been out there about 3 times! First two times - crap tyres all round.. third time i had decent tyres and the back and shit ones still on the front (stock measurements for all tyres).

Silv - i've only changed my brakes once in the three times i was out there, and my tyres once... but i haven't been going all out! Had a chat with Abobob ( :) ) and his car is stock compared to mine which is almost stock! so i figure i just don't push my car hard enough!

will be back out there within the month with sway bars and more aggression!! fingers crossed i get close to 1:15s :D

I saw your car on the wall there Moanie. One of my mates pointed it out, he said, "hey look it's a shit car like yours!" grrr... lol

A mate of mine with a stock s2000 on stock rubber managed a 1:14:04. I guess power isn't everything. *shrugs*

not necessarily cause of the weight in the chassis for 180sx - more depends on mods

1st track day of mine anywhere (and still is) was at Wakefield, did 1:17 in RB20 180sx, 9psi, CA intercooler and radiator pathetically tiny and water temp peaking after 2 hard laps - return with me new cooling mods me reckons :wassup:

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
