Great news all.

Thanks to my new Federal tyres (under the advice of :P Bullet32) and hopefully a little skill improvement... I won fastest lady of the day :)

Todays event was a two-lapper (which doesn't happen often) and instead of losing by 700th of a second, my closest competitor was myself in another car (4.13 seconds behind) then an RX7 (6.25 seconds behind) YES... the very same RX7 that got me last time.

Ladies results being:

90.31 - Me in my little GTST

94.44 - Me in hubbys Volvo (T4 category)

96.56 - RX7 (T4 category)

97.38 - RX7

99.46 - Nissan EXA

105.83 - Subaru Impreza

Then what surprised me most from the day was also coming second in the category (Type 1/2 over 3001cc) :( which was bittersweet considering I was beaten by my own car (by a further 2 seconds) so I don't think I will be willing to share my Skyline with hubby next time, he can stick to his Volvo LOL although I must say, it was fun co-driving two cars and having twice the runs.

The new Federal tyres were a dream and I believe I can better my time yet again once I get used to their extra grip. Each run I made an effort to brake later and increase the speed on the cornering and they just STUCK.

Thanks again to all who helped.

Cheers

Michele

PS: Can anyone tell me what I have to do to register/enter for the SAU track day at Wakefield on Sun 8th July? Just for practice of course, my little gtst is pretty standard and couldn't compete with the kW's you guys are talking.

Excellent! Im glad to have been a part of your glorious victory. :D

So you are happy with the tyres then I take it?

To say I'm "happy" with the tyres would be an understatement. When I thought it was about to lose traction in the tail end (as it normally would) I noticed they gripped in again, so I didn't need to back off. I cut around 2 seconds off my PB for the first split time (which is same as the normal single lap event) and I'm certain I will improve on my PB in July once I get used to my new limitations.

If you only knew how many times I blessed those tyres as I was going around yesterday hehe.

Thank you

Michele

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
