op prick at gate charged father and I $15 to watch amateurs who'd already paid for a private practice day to drive around the track

i asked what was the $15 for, the op lady said to cover insurance

pricks

sigh, i had to stay home for the gtr parts from danh.

how was it victor, anything shocking?

not really, pretty tame.. well it was my first time going to track day so wouldnt have anything to compare with.

but no real problems, besides the odd car breaking down etc... John's Z and Neil's cars were awesome!

Doodz! No photos? You promised. Who else has some?

Well anyway I had a great time and I don't think I was alone there.

Thank you very very very very much to the volunteers who did the flag marshalling all day. I really appreciate the effort and sacrifice you all made.

We would have got going a bit sooner if everyone arrived a bit earlier, but as per usual track days, by the end of the day people are tired, they've run out of fuel (2 of us ran out on the track :D), some break down or whatever and we end up getting good track time late in the piece.

Thanks for the beer Oz and the race. You had me with those slicks but only just. :)

I think the funniest part of the day was about lunch time when it was all hands and spanners on deck for skyline maintenance but the rotaries were all running sweet! Tables turned for once!

I'm not sure when exactly the lap times will be posted on Natsoft but whoever notices first, post up here. I know I got 1:25's earlier in the day but it remains to be seen what came of the later sessions.

Fatz, that thing is a weapon, and I mean that literally. :(:) Nah, give it some brakes and minitubs and it should be right. I now know your secrets to quick lap times though... Short cuts!!! I'm not kidding for those of you who didn't make it, that cloud of dust was the classic fatz short cut, not an off. The difference is control!!!

We ended up with great weather, bit of sun, some clouds and a few spots on the windscreen at one stage but nothing came of it. Had a great time.

Good to see so many newbies out there. Are you hooked yet?

I had the BEST fun ive had in aages today. It was awesome!! Big thanks to Abo Bob for lending me some tools, and giving me some good training at the start of the day :D

I ended up with a 1:30 half way through the day, but felt a bit quicker later on..

Thanks for all the volunteers time today, you helped make it an awesome day!

Now, to get my fuel filler fixed after spewing liters and liters of fuel all over the place! :D

We need photos people!

oh yeah, your car sounded just bloody awesome primordial too bad about the fuel filler, would've love to hear that car going around a couple more laps. Next time I hope my car will be ready for the track

What a great day, thanks to Adam and co for eveything to make this day very enjoyable for all. Thanks Adam also for helping me bleed my brakes made a big difference!!!

Lizzy we both know who came out the winner here, everyone! It was an awesome day and to answer Adam's question, YES i'm hooked!

Got my times down to 1.31.6 so very happy first timer :D

MADGTR and Abobob's car were flying!!

Again thanks everyone for a great day and Adam for everything, you are a real credit to SAU :D:D

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
