Guys if your really hooked on the circuit then join a club that runs supersprints and get in on it.!!

southernsportingcarclub.org and NSCC all compete in monthly events at various circuits and the cost is pretty reasonable.

Fair ammount of track time all properly timed and its great fun.

Typically the events fill up fast but if you get the entry in early your bound to get spot.

TJ very upset I did not get to see you leave i was to busy going side ways with sam with the semi slicks on god he is funny when he drives he kept head butting me every time we went around a corner.

How did you go anyway ?

OI! just cause i don't have bucket seats!!! Had a great day guys, i was running low 16's, but think that if i drove a bit smoother with the semis i could crack teh 14's! Pumped for DECA and Winton!

That sounds right bobby. coz i was right behind you in my gtst (the guy who borrowed the jack off you). and me gf timed me at 1.25. so sound right. :P

Awesome, I'm quite happy with that, considering the tyres I had on cost a total of $450.

Nice to meet you both at the track as well :-)

Face it Sam, your just nuts!

My arm muscles (lats or whateva) or lack there of were killing the next day from holding onto the Holy Sh!t handle to stop from sliding out of the seat!

lol fair call. Def need to do some shopping!

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

I have been told that the tyres are very soft compound, however they have now done 3 track days (with plenty of use on each) and I am confident of getting another track day maybe even two out of them. Maybe the fact that they are old stock has hardened them up a bit. For $500 odd dollars a set I would buy more if they were available.

As for the brake pads, they are “Racebrakes” RB74 fronts and comp 2 at the rear. The discs are still the standard ones with over 55,000km on them so I think that’s the problem.

Sounds like a great deal mate. I'm thinking that your lighter car would help too.

When did you last bleed your brakes. I wouldn't have thought that standard rotors would cause the brakes to fade so quickly although I don't know how good they are from stock. Luckily for me the R34 has great standard brakes. 310mm front rotors for a start. :D

It's pobably been about two to three years since I had the fluid replaced and the system bled so that could be an issue.

Now that several of us have been to DECA before, we're definately taking it to them this time. If I start running as well as I did at the end of the day last time I'll move up considerably (a more sorted car doesn't hurt either).

A short clip of a light run during the day.

Managed 2 salvage one bit of footage.

Next time all three cameras will be in operation.

Also lost a fair bit of clarity when posting them to youtube.

Cheers

& thanks again Adam & Co.

HELMET CAM

SAU Track Day in the R32 GTS-T

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7inn0WBvI1s

There was a quality drop with compressing for Youtube, the helmet cam was making an annoying 'clunking' noise, so I covered it with music and will look for a better way to attach the helmet cam next time.

The white 33 was interesting to follow, even if I did have to slow down/stop for it a few times.

Thanks again to the organisers, it may feel like a loveless job, but we all luv ya for it!!!

Cheers

Michele

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
