got my car serviced yesterday and while my car was on the hoist we found out that my right cv boot is blown and there was oil leaking everywhere... can i still run on the track with this condition?? (i couldn't find anyone who was willing to recondition my cv boot @3pm on saturday of long weekend... :) )

I will be there with Unique Zed with new R32 GTR diff 4.3 ratio which should be interesting as first time out with lots of changes. I think may run out of legs down the straight going from 3.7 diff ratio to 4.375. Will be good for Wakefield and Oran though. Weather looks like will be perfect and public holiday should be a big one.

Does the BBQ accept Green prawns and maybe some egg plant or only snags for the V and Coke drinkers?

Join the club with my speed limiter still in place :)

is there anyone just turning up hoping that someone will drop out so they can run on the track?

i *might* drop out thanks to the cracked right cv boot...

keyword : *might* ... i really wanna run this time coz 5 of my friends r running too... but if it doesn't look good, i might just have to drop out... and fix the damn thing for next track day on the 24th july...

This cold weather is giving me some trouble, noticed pinging earlier, been out and stuffed in some octane boost, hope that will sort it, first time I've tried it.

My track tyres were showing 18 psi after 5 kms from cold. So put them up to 36 psi, but might lower them again on the track. What kind of psi are most people running with 225/50/17s ?

About to take out the stero, shed a few kgs. Easier than going on a diet.

See you there ! can't wait !

Popped the bonnet to do an oil change today and found a half dozen or so well done snails on my rocker covers.

Might have to drive a little faster so these bastards can't catch me!

Pete - I'm up for helis as usual, you bringing the gtr or the PIMPMOBILE?

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
