Nice day, good fun , plenty of track time, just wish i had my car there to join in:(

Still enjoyed myself watching everyone go round though,

the Corsair challange was worth the price of admission alone. :O

Pits to ourselves

Yup, it was a great day. I got to drive 4 cars throughout the day. breaking the 1.40's in the corsair challange was one of the highlights, the next was putting the 2 tone territory through its paces. I did 175km in the GTR, 10 laps in the territory and about 8 laps in the corsair, and I rounded the day out with 3 laps in Abo's weapon, until the fuel light came on.

All in all I think I spent more money on petrol then track hire, thats the way it should always be.

I will continue to chase OP for L2S days and keep the post up and current. As it gets hotter I would encourage everyone not to do too many track days.

Thanks to everyone who played in the corsair challange, the car lasted so I cant see why it wont keep running, with the entry fee's , john should be able to keep the car running.

Yup, great fun day. It's also so relaxing to go to a track day and only have to organise myself.

Tried out the new diff. Was up to 2:30am the night before putting it in at Majanals place in the mountains.

It definitely changes things. I came down the straight at about 200km/h, stabbed the brakes for turn 1 then a little gas to turn 2 but was too much because of the diff and lack of rear end grip (my semis have had it), so at about 160km/h I spun around and off into the kitty litter. Had to get towed out but no damage.

That's my first big lose ever on the track. Kind of fun although I would have preferred to do it at a slightly slower speed.

Also enjoyed taking the mighty MADGTR for a spin. The GT-SS's really are great on that engine. It almost feels like a non turbo it's so linear. You really feel the extra weight when braking but the grip is unbelievable.

WHAT A BLAST

I had a GREAT day....

Very different to a normal track day.........sooo much track time, and no pressure.

Must get an in car timer,(thanks Paul for the lend) it really does improve your times when you have instant feedback on each lap.

Being first up in the Corsair Challenge Car, i obviously babied it too much, turning in a 1.46, but hey, the clutch really was crap, and i didn't wish to be the one to spoil everyones fun. I'd have been drummed outta here if it crapped itself. I gave it another go later, on a semi oiled track, redeemed a little dignity with a 1.43

Much was learnt this day (must take jerry cans fulla fuel)

A Special Thanks to my fellow enthusiasts who helped create a perfecty day!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
