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).

Had a great time exploring the limits of my car (geez turn 1 is a lil hairy in the wet)! :D

I was rugged up so didnt feel the cold but did get a bit wet.. But thanks

    • 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.
