Well yep, Kev gave me some pointers and I had a fantastic day.

Great practise for Dutton Rally and I slowly improved throughout the course of the day!!

Thanks for your help Kev.

That was sooo much fun, more than expected!

Top day!!

Had a ball, car is still alive, except for the rear brakes... yowzers

No wonder I was getting taily under braking, it's metal on metal. Whoops!

Congrats to all who ran PB's, and very, very impressive Chris, mucho respecto :(

Ok, so Scothfinger has risen the bar....i always thought a 1:21 is about it for a neatly modded but std turb GTR...now just how fast can the cheater go on ceramics?

He, he, he, thanks guys - I just keep taking it out and driving the wheels off it. Hopefully that continues to be the rubber wheels and not the ceramic ones!

Didn't feel I put together a 100% super lap at any point in the day. So a 1.20 is achievable if I can actually get some sleep before an event. But I think that might be about all the car can give.

A guy is meant to be transferring money into my account, so if the money hasnt been transferred by Friday...then?!?!?!

They are 235/45/17s.

And its $200 for entry? Well that changes things a little as i may just go on a Wednesday when i get my car back...more laps that way.

Well that was fun... perfect weather for my first track day! big thanks to all the guys who put the day on and everyone who helped out being flaggies etc... also thanks to the WRX club guys (murph & Jason) who were my instructors on the day... they let me fly solo in the last session and I grew some balls and recorded my PB for the day 1.32 which isn't toooo bad I didn't think? but mostly just glad I brought home the car in one piece, the brakes, oil temps and tires were great all day (I mustn't be driving hard enough hehe)

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
