Well what a day!!! Awesome weather, great conditions and all round accident free event.. To sum it up, Frank had trouble all day with intercooler pipes blowing off due to shitty clamps, didn't really get a full session in.

He still managed a PB of 1:43.5...

Aaron managed a PB of 1:46.3..

I managed a PB of 1:49.5.... and also came off the track for the first time!!!!!! Doing 360's into the kitty litter at Southern Loop, that was fun, NOT.... Besides a very dirty interior (and damaged ego), the car is fine, no damage, the wall was still about 30 metres away....

So Roy u can say PB's were the order of the day!!!!!

On a sour note my brakes were not performing as well as they should, and can gladly say I've f**ked the set of rotors which I found and got machined the day before, slots are barely visable, oh well, looks like I better get those new rotors before Sandown!!!!

Im too lazy to log in as me so ... with regards to the rotor, getr a kew, meytal skewer and clean out the slots...dependign on the pad you use, you can actuallt deposit pad on the rotor. Pad deposits on the rotor are generally a good sign as it helps with teh friction co-effecient, and when bedding brakes is what you are trying to achive...so just check that its not pad and gunk in the slots....or they could be dead :no:

Awesome work, how did Ferni go

Nay dude. I got a 1.45.95 in the last session.

It's good to see the top three GTRs all in the 40s... Congrats to all.

Sorry Aaron, didn't see the last session results, that's awesome dude!!!!!! I guess we all went there with a mission, and the mission was successfull indeed. PB's all round!!!

Let's not forget the other GTR's, not sure what Ferni got, he retired early with a faulty boost controller, and how about the other Andrew (BBGTR), sure he's a WRX member, but he has crossed over to the 'dark' side...

Ferni was spewing. I've been there too many times myself so I understand. Sandown is next. Hope fully we get a bigger turnout of SAU there. It's time to go clean the 34 and put the 19s back on it.

Don't know what to expect at Sandown, never had a good go at it yet, will have to chase Snowies time....

Brakes should be sorted by then aswell.....

Aaron, my car is the filthiest its ever been, I suppose cutting the grass and ending up in the kitty litter doesn't help!!!!!

Yeah I had a bit of trouble, first prac session was ok, but i was taking it pretty easy, 2nd session i went out and had water temp issues which i've never had before, and also some knock which i thought may have been the boost controller since it wouldn't let me adjust anything, but on the way home i gave it some stick and it was fine,(well i still can't adjust boost, its like its locked up). I think it may be issue with heat. But i did get one thing out of the day - 300+ rwkw with street tyres even with a GTR is silly. I'm not gonna bother coming back to the track until i get a set of Semis.

But it looks like it was a good day for the rest of you so thats good to hear :D

How did you come off Jack? Glad there was no damage :D Shows your driving towards the limits now at least :D

Hey ferni, it's always a bummer to leave atrack day early, at least with your car it doesn't seem serious...

I was coming in to turn 2 a little too hot, oversteered thought i could correct it with giving it some throttle and opposite lock and before I knew it I kept going around until I hit the grass and 360 into kitty litter. Closed eyes and hoped for the best, opened eyes to see the barrier a fair way ahead still....

Had to come off one day!!!!!

Thanks for the mention Jack. I didn't have the best of days with the 4WD light appearing on the dash after the warm up lap in every session. Couldn't really get a decent lap, so it's a call to Ben on Monday for a diagnosis. Shame really as it performed well at Calder. :)

Well done to all the boys in the 40's.

Cheers

Yeah exactly Jack, nothing too serious so i'm not worried too much. Haha damn turn 2. I always find turn2 and turn3 tricky. Glad the walls are well away from the track :)

No Garretts? not sure why you thought that, i got a set of HKS GT-SS from greenline.....

I'll state the obvious, but i'm guessing you already checked it - the attesa fluid in the boot, make sure thats not too low....

I wouldn't have a clue about Datsun 4WD systems. I'll have a look, thanks.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
