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:

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
