Still good for one track day at least. Not rated in ks but laps if anything. Once warmed up slicks are nice and sticky and not as frustrating not being able to turn in or accelerate as much as you would like on corners.

By the way for those participating and having lunch we have a couple of cases of the mighty V as well as other drinks. Yes we know the Skyline guys live on the stuff. But lets not make it a V topic just letting you know DON'T pannick it will be there.

Maybe my zed might go faster if I threw some down my throat.

Slicks eh, interesting !

How cheap and how used ? (As in approx how many km or laps would I get at EC with no drifting doing 2:00 laptimes?).

To get RE540 Semi-slicks in 225/60/15 it was going to be like $290ea.

:bahaha: Benm gets the trackday bug and goes straight for cheater tyres!

See y'all there, cant wait to give the gibson car a good run around :P

I'll even go easy on your Z john, since you are the host :D

trackday bug yes, cheater no.

Once i have my brakes sorted out (got some proper fluid now and also need to learn how to use them better) im expecting about 3-4sec a lap quicker just from that. With a better set of tyres im hoping for another 5+ sec quicker.

Won't be long and i'll be under 2mins at EC, probably early next year.

John.... the last two UAS days have been a week after a Motoconcepts day and the old girl has not been able to back up after the day at Eastern.....blown this/hammered that:(

Oh well there is always next year at Wakefield! Ill still be along to spectate and enjoy the day.

Thanks for putting on these days , and supporting the scene.;)

I have a mate who wants to come have a look, he has two sons (5 & 10 YO or something like that). IS it OK to bring kids ? I'd imagine it would be OK behind the fence but not in the pits.. I haven't been to Oran for ages so I can't recall what it's like there.

Super keen to come but am a little uneducated on how to get to Oran Park!! Was wondering if anyone from around my area (Chatswood) was going....*cough* Brendan, Dino, Nick etc *cough* and if i could follow them out there!!

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
