dont get too caught up in the times boys. it's just a fun day out. no points, no trophy, no FTD to shoot for... but know this, unlike saturdays supersprint, passing is allowed where deemd safe (by the passing driver), so if you are coming to this day when you see someone faster coming up behind you, either let them past when safe, or be prepared for them to make a move on you. i was not pleased to be following some more powerfull (but slower) cars around for a whole lap of blue flags only to get to the straight and have them floor it. yes i can back off, but then likely to have more traffic coming up from behind and have this whole thing start again. that was my only real criticism of the day was that a number of people ignored blue flags, and did not seem to ever look in their mirrors. i know it's hard when you first start out on the track as you are trying to take in a lot at once, but this should be the first thing instructors teach you - be aware of other cars on the track.

I can only think of 2 occasions where Ando and i used the flag

Mainly cause theres no point blue flagging at turn 11 if your not allowed to pass on turn 12 :P

AHAHAHA yeah i would lean over to grab the blue flag... but ended up deciding as Steve said that not much point since no overtaking in turn 12. Also meant had to get my arse out of the chair lol :P

I think we waived the Red flag once & blue flag saw some action twice.... rest of the time we were pondering if Fatz was gonna loose it over the top corner of the 'Flip Flop'.... wheels either side of the ripple strip, was amusing to watch!!!

yeah fair call. but i was behind people (wont name and shame) and they were getting blue flags from the pit straight, turn 2, turn 4, turn 5 and cant specifically remeber the other turns. in the end i just made the pass where i could hoping they would be sensible enough not to turn in on me.

r32r, mate i was in the green group thinking it was intermediate... haha that was a wake up in a car lucky to be making 100rwkw with stock brakes (including fluid and pads) well stock everything really even stock boost.

pete, you looked hot, still a shame you were driving a pansys car. no more 31 means you will probably never pick up a chick again.

Yep - getting out of the seats - thats the REAL reason you didnt get a blue flag or meatballed Richo :)

Everytime i thought he was going to get it sideways then hit the sand trap. He was driving it like he had cops behind him. And had just robbed the VB brewery.

no need to run it in, just second hand motor. it's ready for burnouts right now.... !!!!!11111 now!

Yeah true true Richo, just also got to factor in cost of 5 stud conversion + spare set of 5 stud rims + decent 'track tyres' + track day costs. So its another biggish cost just after spending some decent dollars on the old girl.

I will get there eventually, just the wallet has been slapped around like Paul's arse during a driver's briefing........ :(

Now that was funny!!!!

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      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.
