yay i managed to nudge out wilch , tomas and liz

woo :P

not bad for my first outing hehe

i really need some sort of suspension

Which one are you on the timesheet :D

I really need new tyres. Was on the belts for my last session and couldn't get a clean run :).

What a great day and yes that Z-Tune was a beast, it sounds fantastic at full steam through turn 1 with monster brakes. I was out there in 700 the red S15, Oran park is excellent and I cannot wait for the next track day.

Cheers

Patrick

wow you nsw guys actually got your cars out on the track :) j/k..... good to see.. and that z-tune is sex.... what are the 2 coolers for underneath the rear of the car? THe brakes don't look much bigger than stock GTR - what are they?

Most people were too drunk to remember their bets, and I was too drunk to remember to bring the sheet of paper home.

My brother guessed 153km/h and that's exactly what the top speed of the silvia was down the straight. lol

so I'll just take him out of the comp, whoever was closest to 153 gets the beans.. I think it might have been steveo

i loved seeing the prince out there, that thing was awesome!

I believe that was me guessing 155.........:)

Gearbox and Diff Oil Coolers

The brakes are significanty larger than stock brakes.

SPECIAL Z-TUNE BRAKES DEVELOPED WITH BREMBO: This brake system, which was developed to a performance target of 1.6G when fitted with Semi-slick tyred, was jointly developed with Brembo. It features such parts as a mono-block 6 piston caliper (for the front), 2 piece front brake rotor with a 365mm rotor, and 355mm one piece rear brake rotor jointly developed with KIRYU. In addition, the ABS unit was specially tuned to further utilize the performance of these high-performance parts. The ATTESA ET-S and active L.S.D. were specially tuned to accompany the increase in engine power in order to make the torque distribution to the front more suitable and to improve the rear differential effectiveness, among other things, to stay true to the great handling of the base car Skyline GT-R (BNR34).

Front: Mono block 6 piston caliper made by Brembo

365mm 2 piece vented disc

Rear: 4 piston caliper made by Brembo

355mm one piece ventilated disc made by KIRYU

It was an awesome day. I was mildly pleased with my time. I was actually a bit slower than last time out, but I didn't really get any clean laps. Plus it seems the track was a bit slow, possibly due to all the rain? Some of the guys I know are quick there were a little off their best times.

Anyone who has some nice shots of the beer mobile I'd love to see them. I was car 295. Steve and N1 R33 GTR had some nice ones, but I'd love to see some video too, particularly of me going all 4 wheels on the concrete flat out over the flip flop.

Lot's of the SAU guys did really well which was nice.

And the Z-tune sounded magic being put through it's paces.

1 last thing... I got to pass the Z-tune! :) :) :nuke: Went up the inside at turn 8. hehe 1 proud moment! I wish I had it on video.

I also have to say a big thank you to GTRJason (aka Jason Lavis) from JADE Automotive in leppington. He dropped what he was doing to get my car into his workshop at lunch to bleed the brakes for me. Anyone who needs some work done in that area would be mad not to go to Jason, he has all the good GTR knowledge and if you needed any more proof he has his own GTR fairly hauling around Oran Park GP in approx 1.15 which is VERY quick.

Thanks Jason.

Was a good day. First for me on GP circuit and I improved every lap.

I just have one annoyance, too many cars on the track and people not thinking about how their actions or inactions affect other people. Putting around at 70k's an hour is fine for session 1 but when we're waiting 45minutes + for the next session I dont want to be stuck behind some guy out for a sunday drive around the back section...

Liz you did an awesome time in that car well done.

Times are below.

Time Attack Super Lap Wakefield Sunday 17th September. Some fast cars to have a go against.

Natsoft Timing Results

you r32/r33/r34 ladies are welcome to correct me, but do i see chris easton in hr31 having 4th fastest lap time??

go the 31

yeh chris was flying around at one point i was watching him, he kept behind that ztune for about 2-3 laps until he *once again* lost traction after the bridge and drifted around out there lol

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
