should i go? i have whats known as "one stop then nothing brakes" when on rd, will it be better on the track with more airflow or will i just have a crap time. need advice. stock 33 gtst brakes with compliance pads still. how much of a difference will some nice ducting make

Jeff, Bleed the brakes and change the pads!

Or just buy the stuff and I will do it for you!

Corrine,

I want to support driving events. Without us they will not happen. I have no problem with $220.00 just I do not have a CAMS license yet. I will try to do it with Ian Luff Motivations but I need a day off work which is hard at the moment. If I will not be in that will be the only reason. Thank you again for the wonderful day on skid pan. Hopefully next time I will do better....

Cheers,

EUG.

Hi Eugen,

You don't need a CAMS licence for this even thats why the cost is a little higher.

This day is also on the saturday. Let me know what you want to decide.

For most track days you won't need the PC licence (which i assume you are talking about here). Best way is to get your L2S licence, which is just a case of filling out a form and sending it off with $85. But as Corinne said, you don't need either for this event.

can anyone help me source some ds2500's or similar? maybe some dba 4000 rotors too? i cant get this stuff from autopro lol. well not for a nice price anyway.

brakes are fine for street, i dont use them. but you stop a few times from what we will call high speed and they fade and squeal like a banshee, they are just a crap pad i beleive, (compliance pad?). plenty of meat on them they just don't work.

Don't be using dba 4000's they crack.

Why don't you talk to Brad about it?

YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR PADS JEFF!

No Cams licence required for this one.

DS2500 are a great road and track pad. Brake air deflectors are also a good idea.

Keep in mind it is a Saturday at a Sydney track and with pro drivers to learn from this is well worth going and not expensive. I might get the Slot Car out and out and see if Bozzo can do in it. I have been doing track days at Oran Park since 1984 and I always learn something from Bozzo.

Nice shot of the car John. :D

Hahaha you are going to let bozza drive it!

Thats the last time I let boz drive my car at the last skidpans and he broke the clutch.

I could not help but comment on this one.

Of course JP would let me drive his car as I have been doing this for 24 years (racing cars) and have been a professional driver trainer with Luffy for the past 10 years. We (JP and I) have known each other for many years and he respects my profession as I do his.

Corinne, are you serious about that comment?? I certainly hope not. If you think that I 'broke' your clutch you are JOKING JOKING, JOKING!!!!

Please you are a really nice girl, but stick to things that you know about LOL

Being one of the very few test drivers for MOTOR Magazine, The Sunday Telegraph, Factory Driver for Mazda in Japan, Driving a V8 Supercar, Driving a Turbo Lotus Exige for Southern Motor Works and just having done a deal to drive a GTR SKYLINE for a team in a Championship, I think they have trust in me and I think that you should as well.

Impressive resume Boz......do you need an assistant at all?

Chris

Hi Chris

haha Did I also forget to say that I love driving my Datsun 1600 Rally Car as well. Go the Datto!

Cannot say much about the GTR yet as it is a bit of a surprise. Should be ready in about 6 weeks though!

Haha Boz Im only having a joke..

Seriously I don't care about the clutch.. I knew it was on its way out it was just a matter of time before it went.

You would also have to be one of the few I trust driving my car because I know you have been doing it for so long and I have seen you drive before.

I didn't think you would take it seriously, sorry if you did.

damn....ladies im dissapointed even more so about wasting my tyres last week....hope u guys have fun out there.....missing out big time....still trying to get something organised....

hey corrine u mentioned u knew someone who could get me good tyres for $100ea? or was that someone else?

ill be out there spectating if i cant organise tyres....

If anyone is going to be bozman's assistant....its going to be me.....i will fight you for it?

    • 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.
