Yep - I'm officially stoked.

I ran a 1:24.76 on my 4th session. BIG thanks to Snowy for showing me some lines - that really helped. It was a 4 second PB for me! :thumbsup:

I'm even happier with the results considering the car is essentially a exhaust and tune (230awkw) and some semi comps. Stock suspension and brakes at this point. I can't wait to get back out there with some suspension.

Mav - No worries mate!

Bring on the next track day! :angry:

Here is some of the footage I took from Sandown (19/8/07)

Some external footage (mostly commodores and 1 VW) I sat out this session due to some noise issues which were fixed later in the day.

Save as - 12mb

My fastest lap for the day - 1:25:91 :thumbs:

Save as - 6mb

The first supersprint - Hung (red classic porsche) jumped me off the line but couldn't quiet make the LHS of the camera shot, sorry Hung, nice try! :giggle:

Save as - 31mb

I didnt actually run so my car is still in one piece :D

Meh, after your cheap shot at my car. Coming to a track day with not enough pads idoesnt fly. Hell, even i changed my pads on Saturday as the old ones were a little past 50% :thumbsup::angry::P

I had two sets of new DS3000 front pads with me. But i'm saving myself for the real race.

Start of the day, pads = 80%

End of the day = 15%

here's a few of my in-car vids

My quickest lap - 1:33.2

Passing the blown Banana, that was a sad site

Collage of sideways action

Limping to pits after an intercooler hose blew off

Good vids people

Dont even bother replying mate. I was only stirring....plus i am just tired and shitty, and probably a little sensitive. My car will have to continue to be an unreliable wreck as im not going to commit the money it requires to get the car to the level of some others :) It will do me. It just hard to sit back and watch so may other guys go so quick :D

The Stig was on a mission for a 17, but driving with anger was not going to cut it.... Smooth is the Stig's style, but the gearbox wasn't up for another session...

Although it was great entertainment for the spectators, so I was told anyway.....

That it was Jack, that it was!

Nice work too Matt, that's really f**kin quick for an essentially stock car!

Jenny (Timetronics) didn't know how to prepare that sheet, we tried but it wasn't grabbing the lowest times.

Ian returns from timing the V8's at Oran Park today and I have already asked him to prepare the summary page and post it on the natsoft site.

So stay tuned. ;)

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
