Anyone got pics of the slow white r33 gts series 2? (lol i know there was like 4 of them on the day) but the one with Black rims and white hks sticker across the windscreen?

Man you where not that slow I reckon you over took Stephen in the R32 GTST and also SAM in the White R33 GTST and I would of been the guy spining at every turn in the Grey R32 GTR

But sorry No pics of the day

SLIM should have some

HAhah i wish Andrew.. Stephen hand timed me.. and i was going SLOWER then i usually am and slower then STEPHEN as well.. think i should stick to the drag strip, me think i'm getting too pussy for corners.

Everytime i go back to wakefield i get slower and slower <sigh>

As long as fun was had by all that is all that matters

Exactly,

And you have to remember for at least the first half of the day the track was damp aswell, so if your going as fast as you have before and not faster you have still improved.. I know I for one was having major traction issues, I think the rear wheels were spinning out of almost every corner all day long (until I was forced to retire anyway)!

Well I'm finally home.

Thanks for the thanks everyone. I couldn't have done it without all my helpers though. Kel, Duncan, Neil, Steve, Anna, Corinne, (this space left blank for the person I will have inevitably forgotten).

Cheers also to Greg for the loan of the jack and Snap-On penis polisher. Thanks Shaun for giving my mate a lift home. Thanks Andrew(?) for helping me bleed my brakes for the second time and the japanese translation service. ;)

I had brake problems most of the day which culminated in a rotor cracked to the hub. Also found out what happens if you run semi slicks for 3 more track days than advised by pretty much everyone. Bits come off them and it's kind of like driving on butter. Even so, I'm told I was timed doing 1:11's several times so that's a pb for me. I was short shifting all day as well so with a bit more practice driving a manual around the track of those speeds and I should get where I want.

I still have a few track day shirts left over if anyone missed out.

Very funny and scary for us organisers how many people spun out in the first sessions but thankfully no problems created there.

3 of my 4 tyres are holding up. the other one.... not soo good...

That's what an open wheeling diff will do to you. I wrecked a semi slick at Eastern Creek the same way.

I'm a bit worried about the contents of that video Anna. Brad, very sorry for the megaphone at midnight routine. The others made me do it. :dry:

My only problem with the cold temps was that by the time my tyres were up to temp my brakes were overheating, (dam standard brakes!)

Those tyres are a very soft compound Raul so your brakes must have been really bad. What pads are you using?

What happened to you Adam towards the end not much track time?

Delaminated tyres and cracked rotor. Glad you enjoyed.

My car had no intercooler pipe problems on the track but on the way down I blew one off. I was lying on the ground seeing what the problem was when I see some guy walking across the highway towards me. Turned out to be 2rismo who just happened to be driving the other way and his help was greatly appreciated in getting the car back together. It's quite a big bang and a little scary first time it happens to you. I remember Anthony's face when we got up to him after his did it. Without words it said something like "holy crap I just killed my R34 GTR". haha. But we were all pretty sure what had happened.

Awesome day, thanx to all the organisers ! Special one to the Wakie guy that told us to Shut Up and scared the f$%k out of us noobies before the start !

Yeah apparently he was in a good mood that day too. :w00t::P

grey GTR

The Grey GTR is actually mine =)

Check out Greg's face in that pic. hahah.

Finally, thanks to all the participants. I'm glad you had a good time. I think we are on to a winner with regards to format. It was a fun and relaxing day. Heaps of laps available to all. I am personally happy with hand timed laps as we're not in it for sheep stations. With official lap timing comes more regulations and no passengers. All of you who took out an experienced driver now know the benefits of instruction. All in all, a good social SAU event and to my mind a total winner!

shaun - did a pair of jumper leads finally disappear or do we need to take a trailer back down there next weekend?

the site maintenence dude had a battery booster pack

everyone else- your help was unvaluable :D

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
