Congrats Andrew!!!!!! well that explains it, hope the little one and mum are doing well....

Not sure what the TMU were doing there, but they did sit at turn 1 with the radar to see what speeds me and Aaron were reaching. Aaron was clocked at 165 and I was clocked at 177, although my PowerFC was showing 213!!! Looks like that radar was in need of some serious calibration....

Bad weather but made for interesting driving training as some of the instructors would have found out.

Considering it is my first sprint day at calder i had an absolute ball juggline conditions was excellent, I even started to run out of brakes in the last session because we had traction. Could have also been an interesting drift day but as the boss said no drifting :), Saying that I think I can get used to "grip driving".

On the subject of police attendance I think it was encouraging to have police on site that can see we are competing on the street but also have a chat and not try and heavy handle anyone.

I had a great time...found out I couldnt put my foot down anywhere in the wet as some of u saw...hahah good old lockup..hehe way fun.

Pitty I didn't get to blast it down the straight as I was hoping. Always next time.

I see the cops presance as a good thing. Shows them that not all "hoon" cars are hoons.

When i worked at Calder, cops/tmu would often drive in and have a look, just to see what cars are racing.

Or to take down plates of cars running 11-12 second passes, that were being driven home :laugh:

Matt I'm so sorry to hear about your car :laugh: , I can't believe it and you were trying so hard to make me stay out there, probably a good thing i went home at about 8pm.

Glad I went when I did, my car was all over the place.

Really disapointed with the day overall but you can't help the weather.

Looking forward to the next round in the dry!

What an awesome day...well afternoon. Thanks heaps to everyone that organised it and especially Chris for being my driver trainer! Hopefully by the sandown will have an adequate fuel system so I can wind up the boost and some semi-comps ;)

hmmm now where are the pics of my car, I know people were taking them cos I kept on getting flashed.

BTW chris james has your helmet, if he hasn't already given it to you :P

You were cutting some pretty good laps in the wet Kyle although i bet Chris will take the cred ;). Very impressive while I battled plough understeer :P

Was heaps better when the track dried out! So glad i hung around after the break.

Had an awesome time and have officially been 'bitten'

Yeah you were pretty quick once the track dried up and we were on the short track.

Yeah the bug has bitten, can't wait for the next one.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
