DIDO... as usual great day.

I thought the witches hats were a great idea, i normally tip in too early and wash out the front end on the exit or corners, i think it helped my line.

...and life begins with DJ-01s, speed limiter thru turn 1 !!!!!

Ok, I've got some pics from the day, I don't know all of you so I'm not familiar with whose car is whose in many cases. :D

Please also note that the track day was my first ever attempt at panning practice, and as you can see there's more practice to be had, so sorry if your car is blurry. :D I can only say I'll be at many more track days, so hopefully in the future these pics will come out consistently good. That said, some of these shots look pretty cool I reckon. Not a bad first effort. :(

Enjoy!

Cheers to every one who went. I had a great day on the track for my first time its good to have had no incidents or failures with the car.

Thanks Roy, I enjoyed your 32 aswell. Next time you drive mine it might have breaks and I'll try and dial out the instability in the rear.

You can try a bit more boost next time!!!

If any one out there thinks their a quick driver and havn't been on a track, think again. And inject your balls with steroids too if you want to take turn one at more than 180k.

By any chance did some one pick up my ferrari hat at the Cricketers Arms. I think I left it there?????

Guys, was a top day... good to get back to the days where we had plenty of space in our group... just a shame that the nembies had to run with the oldies... shit... gotta think of a better way of putting that! They could have got more of an opportunity to get out with people that have been before rather than following them. I think following helped at least Carlo though... And it appears that we have a few more addictees!

Unfortunatly I was not as lucky as the rest of you... I managed to shear 3 bolts in my exhaust manifold and thus have a car that will be off the road now untill the 16th of April. Oh well could have been worse.

I'm looking forward to the next one... which will be on the Monday the 9th of June (that is ages away) however it is a public holiday... so no excuses!

:Owned:

Majanal said there was a shortcut over to turn 5...but I think he lied.

And I would have got away with it if it wasn't for the paparazzi on the hill there.....the price of fame.....

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
