JeeTeeEss25Tee, good to meet you, and thnaks for coming off at my corner, I got to say "send in the rescuers we have a beached whale"

Once again the difference between road tyres and semis/slicks was shown, they seem to be worth a heap of time at Oran Park, all the quickest sau cars were on....

Ok so this is a bit late but anyway... most fun day ever!

Even though I got the slowest time I at least know why so I can improve next time. Might do some driver training courses before the next track day though so I can learn all about the apex and driving line stuff. Regardless I had the best fun ever, the highlight of the day was definitely when I tried to drift round a corner and ended up coming off the track because I had no idea what I was doing. And there is a picture of it! Yay! Thanks silver arrowz..my dad laughed at me when he saw those pictures :)

I really hate that stupid corner that Duncan was on in the morning I almost came off every time I went round it and I did come off at one point which was really fun. I wish I had driven a bit harder and come off a few more times because it was soooooooooooo fun losing control of the car.

Anyway here is my long list of thanks for the day :rofl:

Thanks to Abo Bob and anyone else who did all the organising and also the flag marshalls for volunteering their time.

Thanks to Shaun for taking me in his GTR at the start and coming with me and giving me tips and stuff.

Thanks to Ben and Paul for being so nice when that stupid incident happened at the start of the day and giving me advice on how to drive on the track.

And thanks to Wil for organising all my car stuff beforehand and then checking my car during the day. :(

When's the next track day??? :)

Hi guys,

Just thought I would log on here to say hi.

I am glad you all had a good day out at Oran Park on Saturday. We from RENEW are certainly glad that you all enjoyed it.

The pre-event time did run a bit over, but that was caused by a lot of cars turning up ar scrutineering towards the end of time allocated, and also a bit of getting used to the processes that are required to be followed on a CAMS day, as opposed to other days that RENEW have held at Wakefield that some of you may have attended. Part of this was also having such a large number of trainee and first time officials that had to briefed, signed on, etc.

As stated earlier, the limit for the number of cars on the track is 10. This is a CAMS set limit for Oran Park. Wakefield, for example is set at eight.

The afternoon ran a lot more smoothly.

Thanks to Adam for liasing with RENEW, and for doing all of the organising from SAU. Also, a huge thanks to those guys who volunteered for the flag marshalling positions. You guys hepled make the day possible. Susan, the Clerk of Course, was certainly impressed with you all, and was most humoured by the banter on the radio during the day. ;)

Personally, I was loving the flame throwing Skyline and the Silvia. And the Capri, of course.

We hope we will see all of you guys who were there on Saturday, plus a few others, at our up coming RENEW days at Wakefield - July 2 and Eastern Creek - October 8.

Cheers,

Craig :D

Yep big Thanks Duncan and Adam and all for putting your time and effort it. Duncan must be painful just watching.

I found out why I had so much rear wheel spin. I thought maybe the tyres were off but found my tyre pressure gauge was faulty and was reading 5 psi lower than actual so I had way too much tyre pressure.

Paul L 29th sounds the go. I am adrenalin junky. You and I need to go to Motorsports anonymous, along with Benm and probably a few others. My wife and kids are starting to wonder.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
