Gee - poor Liz. So she left an oil slick from wakey into town so people can drift a bit on their way home :D hehehe thats nice of her..

Hope she sorts it - bit of bad luck.

Ive got to get some better brake fluid and a new silicon joiner which blew apart.

Hows this... lost brakes and then car stopped boosting (all at same time) whilst coolant temp hit about 120 deg and coolant started boiling! Thought id fcked everything.

Dodgy duct tape on the joiner got me home. Could hear air escaping as soon as I looked like hitting boost

Cant believe the best I could get was 1.24! Im reading non turbo silvias doing 1.24s. I've got almost 250rwkw.. Geez I must be bad.

1.14 is a really good time chris! Check this out

now you jus gotta try harder and get the other one off.

uh-oh what did liz break this time. where do we send the trailer.

chris - you lost the plastic inner guard ont he intercooler side right? they always blow out, don't bother trying to put it back in, it will just happen again

how did the FH go michelle? is it ok there now the track is smoother?

ben...you should definately heal toe. start practicing every time you drive and you will get the hang of it.

or if you are not confident getting it right, leave your down changes until later in your braking, ie if you are doing 100 and hit the brakes dont change down into 2nd straight away, wait until you are near the end of your braking. Its always tempting to rush everything- just take a breath then change down

You'll be right James - just get the sway bars from the GB thread :D

I need to relook at my settings for camber/caster and the sway bars!

Oh, I need a new diff also....

It went great, its a whole lotta fun to drive :D:D:P its me that has to learn how to trust it with braking and cornering faster. I did have some overheating problems and had to pack up early but I had FTOD for a while which was exciting but then got pipped at the end.

Ben - practice heal toe around town, and don't let the name trick you, in reality its toe heal or toe side of foot.

Michele,

That thing would be freakin hard to drive! Man, if it took me ages to get in and out, I'd hate to see how long it take for me to get the hang of starting at and then driving!! :D

Great day today...how hot was it!..nice mix of cars there which was nice to see.

How hot was everyone elses oil temps? 35deg day..mine was reading at one stage 110deg.

poor liz hope she is ok..i was behind her when smoke was just coming out of her car, and coming down the straight with S13, silvia straight off the track n i nearly followed.

oh how many times did that blue MR2 loose it!

I'm struggling with the gears, but it handles like a dream

nice pics you got of Chris there Michele. Wish you got a little clip of him trying to get in your car (was going to say cockpit then but that sounds so wrong) - that was funny to watch. Had the old arm wobble going (like me on a bench press with little weight

Still thinking ive got issues: 1.24 with semis (2nd hand though) and 240+rwkw!

did you get the instructor to have a sit in lap with you?

Its okay, you can still call it a cockpit with a lady driver, alternatively you could call it the box office :D

Actually, it was funnier watching him try to get out - by the time you're strapped in there, it can get quite claustrophobic until you get on the track, then you don't think about it.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
