Well well well hello kiddies im back. Yes no update since last year almost 12 months to the day. SAU track day just done and dusted and wow is all i can say.
Prior to track day i managed to finally fit a set of second hand shocks and springs. All i know they are blue and double coiled near the top to make them extra stiff. They feel like coil overs. I have pics will eventually get them up.
Also fitted a brand new set of Falken semi slick/radials on 17's with a 225/45 fitment and wow did this make a huge difference.
The car ran into some minor hiccups on the day mainly not being able to keep the cooler pipes on at only 8psi, and spewing oil out catch can due to me forgetting to empty it after 6 track days
. The car went really hard with new spark plugs and fresh fuel.First session I managed a 1:10 which was 5 yes FIVE seconds off my 1:15 previously set. Then a small coolant line to the turbo let go. Fixed that before lunch. Missed the next session due to cooler pipe coming off and leaving me stranded at the middle part of the flip flops.
3rd timed session I drove the ass off it and managed a 1:08! Another 2 seconds quicker and now up competing with some GTRs and a pesky Lemon. (videos of the 1:10 to come)
Last session unfortunately wasn't timed but felt a little quicker and I managed to run for around 20min without another cooler pipe exploding off. All in all a great day and looking forward to seeing the videos and uploading them here.
Car is now home in my new garage at my new house so some serious mods can now take place as she has proven to me that with some tasteful upgrade she will be competitive for seasons to come.

Bumpy Bump Bump Still for sale. Come help fund my next road car.

Bump would consider swap for a road registered Stag or 4 door nissan/toyota. With cash also. had a few recent interests. Once again car can be picked up and tracked the same day. BYO fuel lol.
Now has 2 semi slicks to go with and spare rims.

Hey great build mate. First you let an 86 past you haha
nah. Go out to wakefield heaps in the formula fords when im training drivers and with the race team. Only tips really i can see from that short video.1. The 'Kink" before 1 at that speed should be able to be taken flat then straight after hard hard on the brakes aimaing the car to the outside of the entry to T1, downshift in the straight line while braking and then hook her in. (depends on how good your brakes are of course but most cars with decent pads i read you had issues on the day. back to 3rd or 2nd depending on how deep you go in.
2. The left hander going up the hill way more speed can be carried.
3. Turns 3 and 4 at the top of hill can also carry more speed, good lines.
4. the 'Fish hook or T5 and 6 pretty good through there. Maybe can take more ripple strip on that right hander sweeping. and same rule as T1 aim for outside of entry then hook in for a later apex carry more speed out.
5. Other then that the lap looked good obviously had to let the other car throigh which stuffs the lap
P.S You know you want the 32

So North circuit was super fun. Had a great day out.
Have managed to get my hands on some second hand dunlop semi slicks in 17s for free off a customer at work which will go on for the next track day so pretty happy.
Priced up some ksport coil overs and will be saving for that soon

Im gonna grab i tow off you tomorrow so i can go faster, like seriously ill hook up to the back lol
-
Glad to see this build is still going.
-really REALLY need shocks/coil overs
HAHA yes indeed i do, im saving every penny hard to try get them. May have a sponsor on board from a mate which may help a lot with entry, parts and the look of the car
In preparation for next weekends North circuit supersprint I managed to get the car numbers on. Now she looks like a real race car. Wont have much done other then that and a little cosmetic secret upgrade for the front end.
Plan On a set down this week at some point work a few later hours at work and rattle the bosses mind about alignment. Not that i can do a lot but yah. Also made up a fancy bracket to mount the ignitor unit so i dont need the valley cover.

hey mate where you located? might be keen on motor
rb25 that is.
-
May head down and help out around the place timing ect. Will see how i go

Day went really well last friday. Wing in tact, nothing fell off. Busy day out but really fun. Things i learned from the day.
- Open practice days are crazy 50 cars on track at once
- Rear wing good but probably overkill since car only reaches 185 down straight.
- really REALLY need shocks/coil overs and probably bushes
- wheel alignment needs doing
- Tires wouldnt hurt
So yah the next event is the 18th of october the day after world time attack. Hoping to get these things buttoned up before then. Heres a few videos from the day.
Just some crazy R35 GTR
Full lap
Vibration is rooted left rear shock bouncing when unloaded. -
Updates coming thick and fast. Rear wing is 90% on, picked it up today. looks not to shabby for a $100 wing even came with Nismo badge lol.
Just need to sort out the rear bolt holes due to boot supports in the way. Now looks more like a proper track car and not a drift pig.
Wing will be finished tomorrow then shes right to go for now.
-
Ok another update time, sorry lots of writing not enough pics.
Free practice this friday looking to shake the car down hopefully. Have acquired the GT wing i was looking at so will try and fit before then (today being Wednesday)
Tires wont be on for this test but full GP circuit at the creek which will be fun.
Car now back on 6 cylinders, fitted a second hand stock ECU this one works a treat.
Side pipe put back on for extra unicorns.
Have fabricated up the Dzus mounts for front bar. Will add a few more while doing other work.
Started to fab up blanking plates for all the spare holes in fire wall from off cuts in the shop. Most holes now covered.
Vacuumed out all rat crap and grass from car, now just needs wash.
