Congrats to Paul and all who made it a very very cool day. There was an awsome amount of track time and even though some found the wall at carosell, i think everyone enjoyed the chance to have a good strap around a fantastic old track.

I went out to take some pics - meant to bring them with me today but I don't do Monday mornings very well I'm afraid... will post some up tomorrow. Was great to see so many GTRs, Evos etc running flat out around Lakeside :)

Heard that it was a great day. Times? Pics?

Most ppl posted times in 65ish sec or less. Some the faster GTRs were down into the 61's.....there was a red 32 GTR nudging into the 60's with me in my 33 GTST :)

As for photo's, I was too busy driving. Have some footage that needs converting off a digital camcorder (tape type) but I dont know how yet.

It was a great day thats for sure. Thanks to everyone who came out and raced or helped. We had 39 starters on the day.

I spoke to track management today and as soon as they are in a position to let me book another day we will be back !!

I have seen some good pics around the web of the day, keep them coming guys !!

Paul

Big thanks to you Paul. I never thought to toss you the keys instead of leaving early. Still suffering mate, but worth every second to get back on my old home track after 21 years.

it is great to get back out there hey? I was there in my old Datsun the week before it closed. was lucky enough to get on the track during its official closure for a "driver training" day in my GTR, and was in the first group to get commercial use of the track last month in the Supra. Can't wait to get my current track toy out there as soon as I can after a full exhaust goes on!

those ones on V8central were from Sunday's Top Gear race meeting. cool pics though.

apparently there's a court hearing contesting the opening of the track sometime next month, and Tetly wants to get as much racing in before that as possible.

Finally got a vid to upload

Nicely done sir :rofl: Im jealous of your getting track time.

Couple of "whoops" moments there too :D

What was rubbing? or was that the sphincter opening and closing rapidly?

Only your sphincter makes those noise's, I hear Toyota's do that to their drivers.

The rear guards just touch the leters on the side wall..... just with some sidewall flex too. Its not hurting anything.

Thats because toyotas are an exciting car to drive... which reminds me, doesnt your missus drive a toyota? lol

Some of the letters must be higher then the others. I listened to video again and could only hear "B*IDGE*TO*E" when it was rubbing

    • So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
    • Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
    • Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
    • You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
