Wink: Yes

Richard: I've learn from the past to not take a half assed car onto the track, it only results in broken bits. I still need to get:

Braided brake lines

Decent pads

Semi-slick tyres

Splitfire Coils

Catch Can

Sump Baffles

..atleast before you will see me on a track.

deadset you dont need any of that sh1t. dont get me wrong it's all nice to have but for someone that loves motorsport (and i know you do) dont let the track days pass you by!

the only thing on that list i reckon is really neccesary is decent pads. under $400 will get you a full front and rear set.

sump baffles is a concern but man it will cost you prob around $1K just in labour to fit them. I've got a set of tomei ones in my bedroom and so far they have controlled my oil surge very well from there. People say, do you have sump baffles, i answer 'yes'. problem solved :D

Top Day first Aaron McGill day I have done and tops fun the littel race at end of the day. Nathan from Grey Imports is a good driver and was hardest by far to past as he made his car very wide. Hope to hook up with Aaron M for future days.

PS Always check brake pads prior to the day.

Yeah i was a bit worried in the last race about your 300 catching up to me.... luckily it was only a 8 lap race and i had a HUGE headstart.

Afterwards Nathan said he did a good job of keeping his car as wide as possible for you John :D

oooooooooooook vid is here

very basic recording with completely seteady shost of the straight 4th corner and a few other bits but i think most cars are on there towards the end of the day

quality is pretty good

i made it this way so its good for editing

WTF!!?? I can access it saying denied P2P....AAARGGGHHHHH

Ill put it on a disc for you bish

I have to head over to the inner west today - ill leave it in your bucket of bolts :mellow: - is it still with Nathan?

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!

Yeah .. when i came back from lunch after the top up it stopped. But when the tank went to half it came back again..

So is there anything i could do other than top up fuel??

well the only proper way to fix it is with a surge tank (really anti-surge lol). Basically you can run your standard pump feeding the surge tank, with a new high flow pump taking it's feed from the bottom of the surge tank.

Woah that was a quick reply .. haha.

Think i will just stick to topping up the fuel. The surge tank sounds exp.

Anyway, tks

    • 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?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
