Hey Ferni - tell Kev you'll come if he will personally instruct you. He loves getting into fast GT-R's :(

I saw Kev today, he said the 'fast' GTR's are banned from entering on the day, something about the instructors being 'WEAK'... :laughing-smiley-014:

Ferni, this is a perfect opportunity to get some laps under your belt and get closer to that flat 20... :O

Yeah Chris should be good to get an instructor in the car

car will be fixed in time... I freaked out after I filled it back up with water and drove it to the garage, when I jumped out and popped the hood there was steam everywhere and I'm thinking oh dear... well it turns out there was a pin prick hole in a coolant hard line that was spraying water right onto the exhaust housing of the turbo! interesting way to keep a turbo cool hehe

u'll be right mate....get it done and see u there.

Turns out my RDO falls on this day so I'm definitely in.

Another question. I have a set of wheels with average semi-slicks on the front and street tyres on the back and I also have a set with full street tyres. Which am I best to have fitted for this day?

Slicks on the front was good for DECA skidpan (slidey), but will it stuff me up on the track?

  • 2 weeks later...

This might be right in the middle of my exams week... i always said i needed a study break lol and what better way than to drive hard for a day, should release the stress lol. i'll see when my exams are if they are a little way off might be up for it.

Although I got to thank the other 3 instructors, i missed the man himself, Kev!

Cheers mate for an awesome day. I learnt a packet and definitly look forward to doing it again!

edit: Sorry flaggies i forgot to thank you! specially since it rained half the day! (hope u enjoyed my spin at turn 2-3!!)

Camden

Thanks to everyone involved, including the flaggies (sitting out there in the cold and the rain).

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
