Yeah pretty happy with the car, can do some more work on the suspension setup, the problem is I can't safely run more boost with the standard bottom end... there is more left in the car :( i reckon i can do better than 1:08.. I'll be back in October to have another crack.

Jack you kicked arse out there.. sounded tuff!! See you at P.I. B)

Aaron I want your car!!! that thing is nutz. *droool* cheater :D

Well Done to Jack would have gone better dude but you were getting held up in some of the sessions. my dodgey phone watch said you laped 1.05 in the 3rd session.

Sorry we had to leave early but some mates were going out and i wanted to tag along.

Well dont matt car looks mint and sounds awesome, awesome times for a first crack

I've still got your brake fluid in the car from Sandown.  That's my secret.  Don't tell anyone though...

LOL, now i know you are lying...i was actually using that Motul bottle as a hip flask to fool the officials. I will not be held responsible for where you poured my Glenfiddich :P

Way to go Jack whatever happened to you takign it easy? Times suggest you have lost the plot and driving the wheels off the thing :(

Poor odl Chris will have to stick with the DECA days as it seems the power stakes are getting too high for the std turb fellas

FERNI, if you are reading this...you on track with the new engine, or are you giving the car a rest for a while. Semis on you thing will mean you will be stepping up to the plate as well :(

Ppl dont rate Calder, but like it as its good fr really having to get stuck into the brakes and getting the power down.

The times by Matt and Wayne are good for the RWD boys...i just hope i can keep up with the R33 boys. I have a few mods in the pipeline which i hope will make the car quicker, but i still havent got the best out of my existing setup so dont want to throw it on until i get the max out of the car as it stands...so, Matt what power are you running, i need to do some calcs ;)

Troy, I've discovered that my car can do wonderful things when pushed hard without fear!!!!!

On a serious note its just that I have more confidence in the car than I did last year, especially with the RE55's, the more I push it the more it grips!!! Calder was a good test in regards to braking points, I can confirm my slotted rotors are no longer slotted!!! There are also large cracks going from outside to the inner part of the rotor, so basically they are getting thrown out....

I also have an exhaust leak, my car sounds like a tractor, I'm assuming it has a crack in the front pipe, as I'm using standard cast manifolds.....

Oh well, that's motorsport for ya!!! Worth it in the end!!!

Bring on PI!!!!!

JAGR33 one of the standard cast manifolds will have cracked, those things always crack. Would be unlucky if its the front pipe. From what I saw of you and your car things looked to be going well, very impressive to watch!

MSPEC - From what I hear its the stainless manifolds that crack not the cast ones, so I'm assuming its the front pipe coz its stainless..... Thanks for the compliment, ur car sounded pretty horn on the straight!!!! The problems started on my last supersprint...

Roy - looking at getting just new rotors for now, but new brake setup has crossed my mind!!!! Frank had family commitments so couldn't attend, not sure about the deal between Aaron and Snowy??

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
