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:

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
