i had some issues with engine bay temps that were causing the coilpacks to crap out, it was probably a bit noisey for people on the pitwall

there was so much track time it was great, i did probably 190km+ on the track

I had a blast. Just went out to watch some mates drive, and having just gotten back from Wakefield Park in NSW, noticed the massive difference in speeds on this track! What great fun :(

Hey I thought I saw you there, did'nt get a chance to say hello because I was off to the servo with my tail between my legs. :D

I was wondering what others were getting along the straight.

Best I got along the front straight was 169km and then along the back straight when the whole track was opened up, got 187km.

Over all, I clocked up 71k's on the track and used up pretty much a full tank of fuel (minus the fuel from brisbane to the track).

I'm lookin forward to the next one and with my track times I did, I was pretty impressed with my outcome.

Next bit of work to be completed on the car now is suspension, rotors and tyres.

Front Straight (start finish line) I was hitting 170km and the back straight I was hitting speed limiter 180+ with approx 200-300m left of the track. That's the only bad thing with having a tiptronic auto is it's hard to get rid of the speed limiter.

I am waiting to see my times for the day, as it felt like I had some scorching hot times considering my car is fairly stock except for zorst, some suspension and Hawke pads. Having said that, there is not much left of my front pads. Driving out of the QR gates, both my depth indicators started to squeel. :( Not to mention my front left tyre. All that's left is a shredded rubber band looking thing wrapped around my wheel. No worries though, I have the Yoko AVS V103 on order. Just have to wait another 4-6 weeks for them to get here from Japan.

Thanks for a great day Paul. Heaps of runs, approx 180km travelled on track (almost too much), and it was great to meet some new people, even people I had already met, but hadn't see for ages....... Impact Blue and Bunta!! :D

See you all next time out there.

Good to see you again too! Hopefully I will be out there with you next time :D

There is vague whispers of a track day with nsw members coming up for a QR day.. That would be a great event... or maybe they're a little ...soft? :(:D

Yes the whispers are vuage....but they are growing

We should return the favour and all head down there sometime too :D

I was wondering what others were getting along the straight.

Best I got along the front straight was 169km and then along the back straight when the whole track was opened up, got 187km.

I was getting 190-195kph on the front straight and struggling to slow down for the corner if I had slicks i could push it to maybe 210kph. I didn't do the national track this time because I wanted the engine not to blow up on me.

Thats with a few mods thou >_<

The next Track Day will be on September 12. Details will be emailed out shortly. Anyone not on the list make sure you PM me your email address to get involved.

The full track results will be up on the web site shortly, check them out.

I will update the Honour List shortly also.

i filled up on the way there, threw in another 20 litres in the afternoon and had the empty light on by the time i go to oxley

i had to skip 2 sessions cause i didn't have enough fuel :D

What a great day! I beat my old time by 5 sec on the national circuit. Down from 1:34?? to a 1:29.50!! Top speed down the back straight was nudging an indicated 195km/hr and had fun keepin' it outta the kitty litter into turn 3!!

Paul, thanks very much to you and all the volunteers, well executed morning(and afternoon...I would imagine)

Hey hey hey, we can see into this section too........ ;)

Basically the plan for the NSW'ers is, as soon as we have our cars all set (few things to happen first, one motor needs a rebuild, and one person is buying a dedicated track car) we will book in for a QR day with you guys and head up :D

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
