i'll be back once only when all the necessary mods are done, might take a while but the next time I hit the track, no more pussy footing around and none of this keeping the revs low so I don't over heat kind of crap. I'll be back with a better handling car.......so watch out all.

i'll be getting swaybars, oil cooler installed, proper wheel alignment, will try to fit a 4 point harness, will also try to make some cooling ducts for the brakes. New brake fluids and a good bleed. GTR wing for more downforce.

well i did end up making it on sat to the track and if you think sun was quiet you should have come on sat there was only about ten cras through the whole day and i was one of them had a great time the car went good except a cloged fuel filter but was great to get out i might be going to one of the next ones early next year to give it another run. In the arvo i had thhe track to myself just for a drift session cause everyone else was to scared to get out when it rained. and the day was good cause they just let us go when we wanted no class separation.

people who are scared to go out on track just because its wet are majorly soft.

admitefly one was mal rose and he only had slicks. but it was good there was plenty of track time im hoping to go out again on either the 2nd 5th or 6th if im allowed and if i can afford it anybody else going on any of those dates?

hey guys, i think im gonna go on the 28th of December...

anyone else thinking of going?

ive never been before...this should be intertesting...

does evenyone go stupid fast or can you just go at your own pace? (not something silly like 60k...faster than that...)

hey mate good luck for your first day out - the main thing is to take it easy and build up speed carefully - and always pay attention, loosing concentration for even a second can be a mess.

just work up to speed once you are familiar with where the track goes, go nice and quick on the straights but treat the corners with care until you know how the car handles it. Also brake hard and early until you are sure of the speed you can make each corner.

start out easy and you'll have a ball!

Duncans advice rocks :)

As well as being safe and learning you and your cars limits, you MUST have fun!! :thumbsup: Its always important to come back in with a smile/grin on your face :)

James and Albert - go some whiteline sway bars from sydneykids group buy

and for the handbrake - meh, just get a drift button ;) mine works a treat!

^^ :)

drift button yo!,

yeah ill pm sydkid in abit

Waffles- I pop my track cherry last week :)

just ask everyone who were there how much fun i had :)

especially duncan! :thumbsup:

but nuh, you WILL enjoy youself, make sure you take it easy during your first lap, and work your way up as duncan said, is all from experience ;)

oh guys you rock, thanks for all the advice. im gonna take it real easy as i have just had my baby fully resprayed. but its crazy how quick the stone chips come about..grrrr

however im not so precious that i wont drive my car like it should be driven, hence the easy start into track time....can do all the great performance mods without stretching her legs!

ha ha ha i had just resprayed my front bar a couple of weeks ago, now i'll have to redo it again. this time gotta give it a few more coats and extra few coats of clear coat just in case

BTW frozenwaffles, as James will tell you - the most important thing to do before you get to the track is to bleed your brakes properly with good brake fluid like Motul RBF600. Nothing will stop the fun quicker than having no brakes left after 3 laps when you get to the end of the straight......

BTW you guys....handbrakes are for holding cars when you park them on a hill, not for track work :thumbsup:

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
