Well that was a awesome day!! Or should i saw few hours... a little late with arrival, but as they say, better late than never!

First track day for the Ceffie and WOW... she does alright!!

Running about 6 psi thru her just to play it safe since the rebuild and according to Sh@un's hand timing, doing around the 1:32's.

So once i actually turn up the boost to something decent, should hopefully be down in the highn to low 1:20's..... :(

Thanks again, great day and well organised!

Any one else got vids or piccies??

Yeah i am sitting here @ work yawning my head off, drinking the mulitple cups of coffee. Leaving home @ 6am & not getting home till 9:30pm takes its toll!! But worth the excitement

OK - so the story with mine.......

Out in the traffic early i was doing 1.40's, did about 10 laps then came in to adjust the harness and check all was well, it wasnt.

Thanks to fatz who spotted the leaking oil i discovered the dipstick was blown off and there was oil all over that side of the engine bay, so that was a shock after all the prep and "testing" done over the last few days

So after an oil change (Cheers again Richard for the ride and tools) i was ready to have another go, Shauns hand timing was a 1.34 in that session, did 4-5 laps, came back in, it had blown off again.

Im very sure that with decent tyres (at least. i hate understeer) and the ability to use 100% throttle down the straight and a few select sections i can reel off something around 1.27. But ill have to have another go :D

After some attempts at a repair we realised it couldnt be done without changing the recirculating system, and we didnt have pipes/plugs etc, so i let it sit for a while then had a go in that last pit stop race, in which, it ran out of petrol.

The track was magic, and the weather couldnt have been better

Ill be back with semis (i was running worn out cheap road tyres showing belts) and the oil system sorted out

Thanks to everyone for a great day

Benm with the broom, Paul for the organisation and that toolbox, Aaron McG of course, Richard (and mate) for the lift and tools, Shaun for helping out, James for pics, MS and Aaron P for vids.....if i forgot anyone im sorry

Sounds like you still had a good day. sometimes no matter how much you prepare something still goes wrong. let's hope it's nothing serious.

I hope you liked fanging around narellan in the worked diesel truck.. haha i was actually thinking about taking it out there for one of the 5 lappers. i reckon with a good handicap i could make that thing pretty hard to pass anywhere but on the straight lol.

Spencer and I had a top day, in fact in all our race meets and testing etc together it was probably our most trouble free day, even with having just finished re-welding the exhaust the night before, only to nail it going on to the trailer. we used pretty much a whole set of pads, and 3 drums of fuel (plus the tank) and all the adrenilan we had spare. I wish i was out there right now, actually maybe tomorrow cause i need a rest day. driving that car is more addictive than my GTR cause every time i think 1 cool down lap then in, i give it a hit on the straight and then think, damn i just want to hear it down the straight one more time... hell i kept lapping till the track owner radio'd Aaron asking why there was 1 car still out there doing laps at near on 5pm... haha

Ben, if i see you at a another track day, with a working (or even semi working) GTR spectating not driving i will tear up your excuse book, confiscate the keys and take it out myself :D:)

hehe.

Hey guys,

A big thanks for organising this.. realli enjoyed myself although my car wasn't realli prepared for the trashing.

Brakes going soft after 5 laps .. Had to pull out of the 8 lap thingy. Furthermore there is something wrong with the car when i was at the 2 turns before the bridge. I step on the acceletrator but it jus wouldnt go. Had to release and step again a couple of time before it worked. Hmmm .. wonder wats work.

Anyway, learnt alot from the trip and am looking forward for the next one.

Cheers

Jay

problems with power out of the right handers is most likely fuel surge (did you have less that 1/2 tank?). it's quite common. the only easy fix is put more fuel in the tank!

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
