ahahahahaha. Nice one Toulia.

I just wanted to give direct thanks to bob, dan, neil, duncan and fatz!

Thank you for making this day so very memorible!!!!

Thanks goes to eveyone else and the rotory club for making it happen!!!!

First thought this morning when i woke up... *says to girflriend* babe can we go to oran park today?

I cant wait for the next meet at the next track! Lets hope i still have a car at that time! (i dont want to sell her now, i want to modify it more.)

For having stock Suspension and not many power mods i was happy with my three times:

- 1.38min

- 1.33min

- 1.30min

I will start another thread for track times, for all tracks and could one of the modz sticky it under the 1/4 mile times which silver-gtst started.

Yeah, it was a good day, I was a little pissed with the wasted time and the 10 cars on the track rule, but one of the RENEWS guys came up at the end and said it was mainly due to the new CAMS officials pushing them around.

1.22 Im happy thats, it my fastest lap time. We can now get ready for the next AArom Mcgill day in 4 weeks, I will post it up Monday morning. Did anyone get any shoots of me on 3 wheels into turn 1?

The cams people were very strict overall, which in some cases was a good thing

the 10 car on the track rule was ok, until the marshall stuffed up and sent 11 out in your group, then when you changed tyres/checked pressure (it looked low ion the front from my spot at turn 11) she told the marshall to hold you until the next group, still, from how she sounded on the radios i though she was going to make you wait for your next group session and that you would be out for at least 20 mins while the others had their go's

Your car looks great out there - unlike your ass at the drivers briefing. (i was standing next to duncan)

If the McGill day is the same curcuit - im in!!!

Mate i think you'll find your quickest lap was 1.33, check natsoft for fastest times. I didn't see anyone running a 1.30, Your quickest was 1.33, sorry to disappoint you. :

Well it was good to be out at another trackday, especially the full circuit at OP which is extremely rare however if this CAM's day was run any slower I would have gone home 10yrs younger.

Having only 10 cars on a full GP circuit is extremely lame even more so when their was more than half the track not even being used because most drivers were bunching up. Having a 40min drivers briefing is pointless and starting the first session at 10:30 is a waste of atleast 1.5hrs of track time (every trackday ive been to the briefings have been at 8am and racing starts at 9am) and did I mention that 1980's BMW's suck ass despite what some people may think?

On the other hand their were some very quick rotors out there, 1 in particular had the main straight flaggys ducking for cover everytime he drove past as it backfired going into turn 1 :D

Was good to see some new faces at the track both on and off the circuit. It just shows that their is still plenty of interest for private days just the costs and availability are still a problem.

Great day.. great day. My first time spectating at a track day too. I tell ya, I'm now itching to get onto the track. So much so I think I have a rash :worship:

From both Amanda and I thanks to Benm and Oz for their support during the day. And thanks to Abobob for organising such a great day! (AGAIN!!)

For someone that's basically only gotten her licence to drive, and only been driving a manual for 7months I reckon Amanda did bloody brilliantly! :)

Well done to all involved in getting this day together.

Top time Adam, man you got those 4 doors around there quick. :D

Weather was much kinder than the last track day.

Spewing that I had work commitments, would have been

fun to have another boat out there chasing the Liners. LOL :worship:

After one full lap (to get exhaust temp up), it flamed out on every change of gear and everytime he got off the gas approaching a braking zone

Not really helping fuel economy :D

And i bet if she tried the BMW owner could do a 1min50sec :worship:

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
