Yeah from memory I did a 1.51 with Al in the car.

They weren't overly happy about it. But I maintain PI is a funny track in that a "safe" lap isn't that much different to a fast lap because most of the corners are long sweepers so you are just maintaining throttle. There isn't much in the way of super late braking at PI so there isn't much time to be saved in that area.

Anyways - I just know it's easier for me to just not take passengers at PI any more.

how are the Maserati days... do they usually get the full quota of cars? will an ugly silver whale be shunned in favour of all things fast red and Italian? (ie are they a good natured bunch or are they a bit serious)

I want to get back to Sandown and see if I can't better my PB, good fun and so close to town compared to other tracks...

HSV Owners club is at PI on the 15th Oct, must be the one Snowy is going to....

I was at P.I. on Saturday with the MSCA. A great day, good weather and no issues - apart from dodging oil from old Alfa dungers.

Ripped a 1.52 with a best theoretical of 1.51 if I ever get turn twelve right.

I heard something about there being a "slow group" at calder?

If thats true, i'll be considering popping my track day cherry, and I know there's another 2 that are in the same boat as me

dezz- there is 'driver training' for those who haven't been on track days before, basically you get somebody showing you the race lines on the track at a safe speed... Obviously your driving with the instructor in the passenger seat....

Does that happen on the day, or you just mean a seperate event altogether?

If me and these 2 other first timers were to do calder, We could just move out of the way for the faster guys I guess...

Yes it happens on the day, but you will be in a different group, obviously with other newbees...

That way you don't have to watch out for 'faster' cars trying to get past you...

A big "Well Done" :P to Aaron and the Stig for their first and second placing in the Skyline class over at my stomping ground at the WRX Club.

While Ben waives the wand, you still have to put them 'round the track. I'll be looking for a tow around the track next year as well boys.

:D

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
