Thats a bugger mate. Hopefully you will be ready in time for the next lot of races. In regards to the speed, our factory speedo goes off the clock for quite sometime haha, but at a guess id say it would be that maybe a tad higher. Also we use a high energy circuit sump and it works great with built in baffles, one way doors and gates and an extended pick up.

Saturday Shower or thunderstorm developing Min 17 Max 30

Sunday Possible late shower or thunderstorm Min 15 Max 27

Not sure on the weather forecast though, don't mind rain, don't want to be stuck out here with a possible severe storm. . .

WHOA HOW MUCH FUN IS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!1!!1!1!eleven

how my day went: first three laps i was stuck behind a turbo xr6 then i got past him and two conners later my engine just turned off. got towed back and investigated and realised the hose from the FMIC to the turbo and come undone somehow - put that back and i was back in the action! my first three lap times (read: the falcons first three lap times) were like 1:12s. then second session had some traffic again but was getting a bit more comfortable with the whole thing (really started having fun). was stuck behind a subie for a while and last lap had a clean lap chasing some awesome looking blue r32 gtr. got a 1:07 that lap! then session 3 had nice clean laps and got 1:07s and 1:06s!! :sick: had we even had enough time to go out for a forth session!! :laugh:

best lap of the day for my was 1:06.15 which i was quiet happy with - the car can do quite a bit better if the driver just improves :D like mom alway said "practice makes perfect" so ill be back for more for sure!!!

was impressed with the amount of skylines too!! there was like 3x 31's, 3x 32's, and 2 or 3 33's

haha well our oil pump failed(assumed so far) and killed the motor. Such a bad day, first our new wheel alignment farked 2k worth of slicks on the front, chewed them right down to the canvas. Then the turbo blew, so I raced out to morningside and got another one, we fitted that and everything was ok but then the oil pressure started to drop and along the back straight it died completely. The engine was shut off asap, but it has ceased. So out it all comes this week for a rebuild. Not good at all, and because of the dramas i didnt get a go in the car :sick: But my old man managed a flat 60 when the car was running half descent before it shat itself completely.

Sorry to hear that.

Heat was a big killer out there, being a NA RB30e i don't have much anyway but i could really feel it lacking, still managed to pull a 1:08.95 even with the LSD not working. New tyres really helped me.

My mate in his R31 GTS1 pulled a 1:07.69 and his old man in the stock R33 GTS-t S2 ran a 1:06.40.

I was out there yesterday to watch a mate (the blue ae86) - first time I've been to the sprints and I couldn't believe how hectic it is. Cars everywhere in the pits and almost always cars out on the track. Real variation of cars tho, so it was great to watch.

I can't go near QR without my camera gear, so I got a heap of photos while watching. I don't know which of the cars were SAU people, but here's some of the skylines:

I tried to get shots of every car, but if you were out there and can't find any of yours then PM me and I'll take a look.

I like his ae86! you have any pics of me cerb? im in the r32 KAB :(

here are few pics we got:

as for mods azzurra - not that much... have teins adjustable coil overs (which helps ALOT!!!), gtr fuel pump, 3" apexi exhuast, FMIC, 11psi boost... and some wets (semi slick wets)

im happy with my low 1:06 but not exstatic... i had two friends there... the one has a non turbo aussie starlet (http://www.users.on.net/~jezza323/SAS0610281/dscf1321.jpg) and he gets low 1:08's and my other friend in his civic (http://www.users.on.net/~jezza323/SAS0610281/dscf1331.jpg) got like a 1:02 (not sure about his best for the day)

Top marks for the pics.

Saturday Sprints are on my to-do list for next year but I plan to be there for a bit of spectating if there is another round before Christmas.

All I have to do is learn a bit (lot) of car control, and grow some goolies :laugh:

    • 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.
