to be honest turn 1 scares the shit out of me.

And I think you'd already left by the time XCUZME had his little excursion.....

Was starting to get turn 2 down better after some good advice from Scathing.

Good to hear. I still can't get the Turns 2-3 complex correct consistently, but I know where I should be even if I can't make it stick.

yeah that wasn't fun. I was right behind him.... well not directly, but I was directly behind the soarer on the racingline and he went the inside to overtake him, a little too fast.. felt like it all happened in slow motion. My hands wouldn't stop shaking ... and was hell nervey first session back out there.

He must be feeling a little sore today!!!

Great time! I thought you said you were running around 2 mins! You must have pulled out a blinder for that lap....

nah.. 2.03 .. I wanted to get under 2mins... but it wasn't going to happen. Bit disappointed!!! But next time hey!

but far out, I am sick of all the drivers thinking they are shit hot and being too stubborn to let a faster car through! The amount of times I had caught up to a car by turn 2.... not being waved past and having him fang it down the straight only for me to catch him again come the first corner... it's a f**king joke.

I'm certainly not the fastest driver so when i see a car coming through in the rear view.. i automatically stick my hand out the window and wave him past so I don't disrupt his lap as much.

Anyone else missing a few sessions of timing??? It looks like I've got some missing.

Was someone else driving your car or using your transponder? Your time on Natsoft is 1:52.

Yeah, I had a massive rant about it after the Wakefield CC...for which I got told off about. The A group is generally quite courteous. Aside from the cock in the turbo S2000, who has a reputation for it, to my knowledge everyone else in my session was waving faster traffic through. But when I drove in the B group at Wakefield, I had a couple of guys not wave me past, and in fact I had an Evo baulking me when I had a look up his inside to engage him in a braking duel.

I promised Narada I'd do a "track courtesy" article, which I haven't completed yet. I'll try finishing it off this weekend so he can print it in The Circuit and maybe up on the site.

that's a top idea!!! I hope the yellow s15, the black integra, the white integra and the black soarer read it! I don't think i got one clear lap in because of all the traffic... maybe I'm just too nice and should try and nudge my way infront anyway.

Yeah liz, what gives? You're 12 in the natsoft listing :) did you cut across the in field at some point :thumbsup:

Nice times btw guys.

don't get too excited, I still can't drive lol.

I shared my transponder with Andrew was they didn't have enough to go around.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
