Hey pal, I was out there too.... saw your ride but didn't know who you were!!

Nice times indeed... I was only running low 1:30s in a 32 GTR (have run 1:27s in a Gts-t) as I was tryin to save my car from the heat!! Bloody hell it was HOT!!!

I ended up boiling my brake fluid and losing them altogether!!

I was considerate enough to pull off line and allow the quicker guys to go past and gave em a wave thru... no hassles.

Perhaps she should have been given a black flag and had a caution to let the faster cars by??

Anyways, I still had a blast... bring on the next one.... and cooler weather. :blink:

yeah that was on street tyres too the semi slicks didnt come in on time, as far as the black flag it was out for me!! hopefully on the next tarck day the old codger will be dead! f#$ken pr&%k. he wouldnt listen to me he just shouted GET OFF THE TRACK! YOURE GOING TOO FAST!!.

I love that second last corner at mallala.

My first track day there i was entering that corner at about 60 km at the apex in the morning, by the end of the day it was at 100+ such good fun.

^^ agreed... I was on my street cheap-ass crap tyres also.

They certainly do make the difference. Next time I will definitely be rollin' on something a bit stickier!

I had a quick word to the guy from the GP rally that was in the 33... he was runnin' 1:21s!!

yeah he had re55's and he should be running a lot faster considering he has a 4wd? last time i went on a practice day there was a dood running a 400kw gtr r33 and the best time he could run was 1:25 and that was about 22degrees on the track. you can shave at least 3 seconds off with semi slicks! oh btw throw out your interior that will save you about 20kg. maybe we should organise an SAU track day? to hire the track for a weekend day is about $5000 if 50 of us were in it'd cost about $100 each.

I know a guy doing 1:12's on his 600cc motorbike.

thats pretty sweet i think the lap record is Formula Holden Paul Stokell (Birrana Reynard) 01:02.6 7/08/1994 and v8 supertaxis 1:08 greg murphy man i got a ways to go!

I think they just dont like skylines at Mallala, my self and drinkies got red flaged for oversteer and then our team leader got told if we drive that fast through corners again that he will disqualify our whole team.

I was only doing 1.27's

practice days are better you can go harder! but you need a cams licence next one i think is in april, you need helmet, fire extinguisher, and car smust be track ready , or you will break something TRUST ME! brakes,tyres,oh tyres!!!! radiator and gearbox, if you even have a hint your car is not up to abuse, FORGET it you won't have a memorable experience!!! suspended licence didnt stop me on the track you just don't say anything about it if you have a cams licence that is current ALL GOOD!

i think they got there groupings a bit mixed up. What was that red corolla doing in group 2? It was way slower than the rest in that group and just got in the way. I think they only group car by the drivers experience and don't take the cars into account at all. I was only out there for an hour (that heat was something else) did they put you in group 4? What colour was the evo the chick was driving?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
