I can't believe that I broke F*#king exhaust manifold studs at EC on Thursday... and as a result won't have a car for tomorrow... Anyone want to lend me theres? pete... what is the 31 doing?

One PISSED camper.:D :D ;):D :D

Wow what a great day ! Totally different to what I was expecting and turned out to be a good experience (even when sitting on the sideline).

Unfortunately the 127 pictures that i took weren't the best because i only have 3x Optical Zoom.

They can be view at http://skylines.pnc.com.au

(at the bottom).

Like Ben said - what a great day ! Big pat on the back to Pete (fatz) bloody good day mate.

Spewing chunks that I didn't get to drive today.....Major chunks.

Last time I came to EC track day, I couldn't run then either, which again, pissed me off even more..... Damn moddified cars.....

For those interested - I thought I had fouled plugs cause I was stalling, farked idle, no power etc on the way up to the creek - but I limped in..... ( Background: had new fuel pressure reg fitted during the week , plus moved the BOV to plumb back position, and new ECU tune...) Got home ready to take the plugs out to check the damage, found small oils splotches in the engine bay - all over the place - like small amounts of oil was being sprayed everywhere - I was al ready to take all the plugs out to see if I could reserect anything - Anyhow , I think what happened is that there is either (a) Too much oil being shot thru from the turbo and/or (B) there is an intercooler pipe leak somewhere.... Hopefully not too serious....

Next time Ii am bringing a hire car are backup ..... Fark Fark and double fark !!!

Pics and Videos posted soon !!!

Play of the day goes to Duncan , who on a $money$ lap came a bit unstuck and collected a hat ! I got evidence bud !! he he

Apart from my misfortune - a bloody top day. Bring on the next one.

(Damn sunburnt tho)...

Cheers !!!

Oh..man...sprung again...twice in 4 days!

That was a top day, we have to make it a regular event.

For once I'm happy that photos don't tell the whole story!

As for that whitches hat, I think I just took the apex a tiny bit too close :( pretty sure it was a good lap apart from that small prob!

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
