Yep no problems paying that....after all I have to pay $150 for an unorganized (well compared to the SAU vic/WRX events anyway :O ) track session at Barbagallo!!

I'm Hoping this will be my first track session after getting back to vic :kiss:

When are the supp regs etc avail bec?

As good as mine are of doing 1.43.

I'll be there and will be mainly hoping to drive the car home.

It's been nearly 2 years since I was last at PI so I'm pumped to go. Mind you it's been 18 months since I completed a track day so I'm not getting too excited about any times or anything. Infact if I can get your 1.51 I'll be happy Bris.

Scotsmans best there is still 1.51 I think. Maybe he'll be happy to bet with you!

The fact some of these other boys are doing 1.43's is just plain freaky.

But Bris - be warned in all seriousness that unless it's a PIARC day they are now super strict on the 75dB@30m thing. Aaron got pinged late last year and his car is super quiet.

Yours isn't. You might only get a couple of laps if you don't tone the exhaust down.

Infact everyone should be well aware of this before they fork out the $180. If you think your car is loud either bring something to make it quiet or be prepared to just tottle past the testing station (which is on the inside on the main straight down near turn 1.)

OOH. Good point. Might have to see about getting the gate plumbed back up.

As for the times. Yeh who knows. I just want a session with no yellow flags and no car problems. Something i havent been able to do at PI...though my car appears to be over its hissy fit it had when it first arrived in Vic.

So i want a sub 1:55. How much i can goi under it i dont know. But i still think that is Chris did a 1:51 in his GTR (in 2004 spec) then my car should be able to do it...the driver just needs some more practice. Hell a farking Mirage does 1:53s

Mind you it's been 18 months since I completed a track day so I'm not getting too excited about any times or anything.

The only track day i have finished as i have started is Sandown. >_< I know it sux but sooner or later you will come out the other side. I am running out of time and money, and patience. All i care about is the times because my engine will only hold on so much longer and when it goers bang i will be parkign it for a long time :laugh:

I'll be at PI this Sunday for the PIARC day, chasing 1:47's...

Roy - If you get a 1:51 I'll buy you 2 kegs.... On a serious note, a lot of time can be made at turn 1, hayshed, and coming onto the front straight.

Hold it flat through those corners and you will be on the money!!!!

In saying that 1:53's is achievable, it just depends on whether your foot listens to your brain, if the brain says back off, DON'T!!!

Roy - If you get a 1:51 I'll buy you 2 kegs.... On a serious note, ...

LOL...im being serious :laugh: . So is that a bet? :laugh:

And before ppl get upset with me...its all taking the piss. You have to have a goal, its great to hit it, no shame in trying and missing :geek:

LOL. It takes a bet for me to get my ass in gear and get the car ready. I wanted to do this weekend but DECA weeeknd has left me broke. Really looking forward to this. Will be my first track day since Sandown 2005.

I have to keep telling myself that:

Phillip Island:

- Mirage , 1:53s

- Commodore Ute , 1:52s.

- ME (PB) , 1:58s

At Sandown:

- Mirage does a 1:27

- Ute , 1:26

- Me (PB) , 1:25

At Winton:

- Mirage , 1:38

- Ute , 1:41

- Me (PB) , 1:41 (Dutton when i ran out of fuel on the warm up lap >_< )

So its up to me to get the job done. The car should be capable

Now your just taking the piss :laugh:

So you are only doing the Sunday Jack? May come down to spectate if im not in Sydney

Yep, just Sunday..

Forecast is for 38 degrees.. >_<

Although the sea breeze might make it a little cooler...I hope...

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
