need to be there by like 8.30am

am pretty sure its a 1.5 hr drive - so i plan on leaving home about 7ish

*fingers crossed* it gets me there in time :D

there is also a group of officials leaving the Village Green at 7am

Damn, that was seriously cold and wet!

Didn't get to take many pics due to being reasonably busy with flagging. Here's the pics I did take. Apologies to the drivers that my camera auto flashed :):banana:

this was a test to see how long the cam took to take a pic... at least there isn't a blurry car in it

Note to self: Get a new camera... that's not crap

Good day though, especially the free lunch :) Noting too exciting near my corner which is a good thing for the cars, just a couple of geese that got too close to the track :O

Aaron did a 1:44.8.. :worship:

That is all....

Aaron is BACK!!! Yeahhhh damn that's impressive.

I wanted to be there, but had last minute f*ck up with my car.... I'm going to get down there for the PIARC weekend

Was a great day, Just glad my car kept on keeping on without too many hiccups... It was dissapointing some of the other datsuns didn't get through scrutineering considering they had both raced before with the same setup, but what can you do..

I don't suppose anyone has any pics of the datsuns?

I think i saw someone with a camera on turn 2 in the wet, and i'd love to see the photos :worship:

Yeah i had a good day as well, only got in the practice and one session before the rain though. While i'm on that... what the hell happened with the day? gates opened around eight and drivers briefing still going at 10:30? plenty more session could have come before the rain if things were running on time!

That aside i benefitted from some bigger wheels/ tyres and some new front suspension and brakes. it was great to be able to pull up with ease, one extra vote for the QFM A1RM pads :worship:

How would i go about joining the PIARC day in about a month?

It was a good weekend. as good as it can be when you arent driving. not a very big skyline crowd down there for some reason.

As for the track day itself, unless there is some unknow hiccups behind the scene, it was average... Cars were not on track until 11ish!!! the porsche club were there today and they were on track at about 9am....

I don't suppose anyone has any pics of the datsuns?

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
