oo0o0o0o0o nearly half way through the day... i'll bet y'all have already blasted your previous times :) Can' wait for when car is fixed and I get to have my first turn at wakie... If only there were more hours in the day... We just didn't have enough time to drive 12 hours to get there, do track day for 8 hours then drive 12 hours home. We would've died along the way for sure :thumbsup:

And now some words of wisdom courtesy of my inner bogan...

GO HARD OR GO HOME

ARC IT OR PARK IT

GET 'EM SPINNIN' & WE'LL BE GRINNIN'

:thumbsup:

fantastic day. with my stockie i managed to clock 1.21.2 with which am pretty satisfied though being my first time looking back I felt I could have improved in a few corners. all said and done cheers to all the guys who organised it and looking forward :P to more such days.

hahah the volvo was funny on the track :P

But I think SAU is dead atm maybe only admins can post ;)

Anyway....great turn out today, it was brilliant to see so many new faces on the track and I hope they all enjoyed it.

The wet track in the morning came close to setting a record for number of spinning cars - but overall I think eveyone came through pretty unscathed.

Thanks Adam and Corrine in particular for organising, and Kel and Steve for standing in the freezing cold at the flags all day.

The forum was down last night.

Sweet day, was good to get the R34 out for its last run. But hope it wont be its last time on the track.

Paul, you're welcome to pilot mine anytime I'm at Wakie. Thanks for all the help yesterday. It's amazing what driving right does for your times. Thanks to all the other experienced drivers who took a lot of tme to help me and everyone else to learn to drive better

Guys - Lots of great effort by everyone who helped yesterday, but I think we owe Adam a major thanks. Back to back weekend events and both ran superbly.

Via El Presidente!

yep.... thanks to everyone that helped make this happen... and a special one to adam.

i had a great day.... thanks to everyone who helped me and gave me advice whether it was in or out of the car... appreciate it i learnt alot.

was quite good weather... a little chilly but its that time of year. it was good to experience some slightly wet conditions aswell. by the looks of it... everyone was going heaps good.

oh yeah tim..... i think i may have been converted from drift to circuit... well partially....still gotta have some power oversteer on corner exit.

Was about to say the same thing duncan, Steve you were locking that inside wheel @ the same corner every lap :P

Thanks to everyone who organised, but also huge thanks to everyone that took passenger's out (including me) on some laps, I think this is what makes SAU + Wakefield such a good day as everyone is happy to have people along and it encourages people to get out there..

Got a small sampling of photos..

Warning - some large ones when you click on them, but i'm happy with how they turned out..

thanks to all who made this day happen....thanks to all who pushed my car back to the pits...lol....and to Paul who got my intercooler pipe back on...had a great day as a newbie and it wont be my last....thanks Duncan for the driving tips which helped me keep in on the track all day...Anthony

I would like to thank all that came and also allowed me to safly slide and slide and slide all over the road IN CONTROL THOUGH :P

Paul your words help really well and after some modifications I think those track times will drop even more.

Adam thanks AGAIN for a great day.

Stevo for making me laugh ( THAT HELMET ) please someone post a pic of him in that black helmet.

And last two

Brad from cracking my back on every corner wicked car and cant wait when it has its over haul.

And finally Shell now since we have seen you twice three times now thats it i dont want to see you for another 12 months.

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
