Next SAU track day is kind of blended into one of the super sprints on 30th Oct, but I think a small mini tiny sneaky track day may be the go in September? At least I hope so 'cause I can't make the 30th :P

Interested to hear, what aftermarket brakes do you have on there?

Oh, and welcome!

pretty sure they're some sort of DBA slotted and drilled with sports pads, i wanna get an intercooler and oil cooler, and a replacement passanger rear strut (currently a little bent :() before i head out... or would it be fine with the stock cooler? and fixed strut obviously :P

I have an r33 with the stock intercooler and oil cooler (and pretty much everything else stock as well..). She's been running well with no issues for ~4 track days now, I'm just trying to take it easy and get the lines right though. My brakes and tyres overheat before anything else though, so It may be different with your set up :)

Agh yeah, the pads a really squeaky but are ment to be new, so I'm thinking they might be half decent ones?

Anyone have a stock series 1 coilpack they would like to donate to a fellow boat owner?? Hobart area :)

I've got a whole heap of rb coilpacks for sale off 2 motors i'm parting if you want a cheap one?

Early October sounds like a winner to me, I need to order in some new brake pads and get the rotors machined before I do any other kind of track work, as soon as they start to heat up and I brake heavily it feels like I'm driving over a never ending cattle grate :P

Will have to look into some specific dates for a sneaky practice

Yeah tweetywoof thats me, you say its a series one RB25 then yes they're exactly the same, RB25 series 2 don't use an igniter module on top of the motor and the series 2 coils have little modules on the top of each one that the normal ones dont..

Oh and just after $25 each

If my car isn't ready I'm deff keen to ride shotgun so I can see the lines and braking time! Bit worries about the blind left at the top of the hill though

i find taking it easy in and waiting for full visibility to exit helps :D

I added you on fb swell Toby, mind If I use a pack to see if it is that causing it, and if it fixes it I'll buy it off you?

    • Slap a 460L into the car, send its mum.  
    • So last night pulling away from the lights, I lost power for about 1 second. Bit weird, but I kept driving... 5 minutes later the pump completely dies. When I tried to start the car, the pump won't even prime.  I left the car for about an hour, tried to start it and it all appeared fine. Pump primed, car started, got the fuel pressure I should have.... Start driving home, 5 minutes later it dies again. I'm stuck in a shit spot this time going up hill with a car right behind me, so I just let the car continue to turn over while praying to the fuel pump gods. After about 2 minutes of turning the engine over, the fuel pump came back to life and I got home (only about another 5 min away).  So I've been digging around online, it seems like the 525 fuel pumps really don't like to be run at 100% all the time. I've found quite a few examples online of people killing their Walbro 525 pumps within about a year of usage when they are run without PWM.  So, my pump is an Aeroflow 525 (AF49-1057) and I've been running it at 100% without PWM. I'm thinking the Aeroflow 525 didn't like being run at 100% and has burnt itself up.  I really am sick of dealing with fuel pump issues, my current thoughts are -  1. Use a Walbro 450 and run it without PWM. It seems like these pumps hold up pretty well to being run at 100% all the time. I only make about 350kw and can't see me making any more power any time soon so this is probably a fine option.  2. Get a Walbro 525, run it with PWM. I know doing this will annoy me as I feel like with only 350kw, its extra expense that I don't "need" and I'll be thinking the whole time while setting it up that I should have gone with option 1. I know I'll be happy with this option when its setup and running, its only the initial setup frustration and cost as an issue.  3. Get a Walbro BKS1001 brushless pump. This is the fu*k it I'm already going PWM, might as well go full retard. This option just seems better in every way, with the only downside being cost. But I don't know much about this pump so I could be wrong.  Happy to get everyone's thoughts before I go digging around in the fuel tank again. 
    • Doing it this weekend. For sure this time. Thank you forum gods.  And im running map sensor now with the haltech. Still have the AFMs attached to the mushroom dome shaped air filter things
    • Actually, it is probably pretty legit. I mean, it's still woke feminazi bullshit academia, but you would have to agree that it is very likely that there would be a correlation between wanting a loud exhaust and scoring at the unpleasant end of the scales for dark triad personality traits. The fact that they found it didn't correlate with narcissism and only with psychopathy and sadism definitely shows that the loud exhaust thing is more of a "f**k you" than a "look at me", and I reckon that rings pretty close to most of the dickheads who take it to the extreme. Remember, this is correlation with tendency to be closer to one end of a personality trait scale than the other end. Of course someone who is at the literal opposite end of the psychopathy scale is going to be so considerate of others that they wouldn't even think about wanting to upset anyone with a loud exhaust. So the finding isn't that "you are a psychopath". Just that you score more towards that end of the scale than someone who doesn't like loud exhausts (on average, not necessarily even for specific individuals).
    • Blitz ER34 at some point hopefully, should be allowed in Gr3 if they do.
