Is your mate's 350Z stock? Because 1:12's is what the pro drivers are pulling around Wakefield in the comparos, so he's either tweaked it a bit, or a gun driver.

That time of 1:11.5 is crazy fast.

Done a stack of laps there and PB is 1:16.9 in my zed n/a on semi's, full comp suspension, slotted rotors, etc . Last time I was there I just managed to squeeze past a pair of 350 zeds, but our laps were almost identical.

Boosted zed's slot car, the "skyline smacker", has managed a ball tearing 1:08.4.......

Hard to keep track of time down there unless you have a transponder. Hand time methods are sometimes a little unreliable.

no it is not stock, yes it is tweaked and he is a gun driver and you know him...

it was a 12 or 13 i dont exactly memba

says it all!!!!!!!!

use stopwatch times as a roug measurement.

Remember you travel about 30m in 1 second at 100km an hour, so there is a pretty big margin for error when not using proper timers.

Not doubting anyones time just throwing in my 2cents

Yeh Adam

I find that recording your session with an incar camera, and using a dvd recorder for their timer, you can "frame by frame" for identical land marks. Gets you to about 1/3 to 1/2 a second.

Plus you can amuse your friends when your pissed ! B)

I've done 1.10.2 in a standard 32 n1 gtr, but that was on good semis.

1.11 is pretty amazing on road tyres!

Most fairly standard gtsts do between 1.15 and 1.12

1.08 is the best skyline Ive heard of, Giant dropped down from QLD to do that at the Dutton Rally. I think GTRJason is around 1.08 as well.

I know of a couple of Silvias that have broken into sub 10's around Wakefield (with proper timing equipment).

But they're more serious than your usual "light tune" mods, and at least one of them was on full slicks, and the drivers know what they're doing.

well if anyone wants to come next time i go more than welcome...

i will also have be with a sti doin 1:08s as well so call me bluff but come on down next time....

All for another track day at wakefield. Make sure you post it up in the events. I know i would definately take 2 spots if you get one going!!!!!

meh, i was at wakefield last weekend. it will be some time before i go back. it's a fairly fun little track but so damn far. and the flies!! my god the flies!

in our little 2 litre NA 105 alfa spencer has done 13s, i'm not sure on my official times, but they would be a few seconds off that.

We should organise another sau day down there but stay down the night after so you dont have to drive home the same day. Not that ive been to any of the others at wakefield due to budget and work comitments.

Last time i went down for a track day the guys i went with organised the pelican sheep station( right next door for thoes who dont know) domitaries for the night as well. I think there was about 30 people for the track day and it cost about 150 which included the accomodation and pizzas from in at goulbourn plus plenty of booze and of course the hire of the track.

Food for thought anyway.

anyone keen?

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
