2.30 is beer o clock? you've changed.

I love those quiet days at OP, we need to make the most of it before it disappears......

brad...I share your pain. I've driven the race car a couple of times in the last few days including home tonight. nasty to drive in traffic, poorly aimed headlights after a couple of hits at the front, crappy brakes when cold. not to mention trying to reverse with 6 point harness on. no aircon or heater let alone radio

Oh this morning it was freezing!! Driving along the M5 at 110K's with no heater. I have put a CD player into mine for the week but im sick of listening to them already not to mention I cant reach the passengers seat to get new CD's whilst driving.

Brad,

Im a stupid toolbag who didnt check my calander. Unfort I cannot, its a sunday and I have left it too late to find a replacement (Ive got the s/s day off and the next sunday for the texi)

Im sooooooooooooooo looking forward to the s/s at EC - I paid and entered today as I saw the sup reg's and entry form were open on SSCC website!

And f**k me!! I took out class D at the motorkhana!! man Im lucky you had too much power and spun otherwise Id be up the back of the field!!!I cant understand how I fluked it!! What a top day still!!!I think the r31 needs to make an appearance at the dirt events!!!

Did too, well done!!

The power was a real disadvantage cause 2nd gear was utterly usless (like everyone seen with my spectacular dounuts!) but 1st just was not fast enough or boosty enough. Was a great day all the same though. I thought Berry was also in out class but seems he was in C. Suprising how well standard cars go in the low speed stuff hey (plus the guys car really steer a car well)

She'll get to stretch its legs at the creek thats for sure. I have also put entry through, jess did it today for me. What colour group did you put down to enter.

Should be a good day and your going to get the chance to meet alot more of the Circuit memebers who didnt come to the khana.

Ansel park is great fun, Ill be using the little GTi.

Cheers Brad, I was pretty stoked to see that!

Yeah those blokes can steer a car pretty darn well!!

hahah yeah your car would have been tricky but FUN!

Yeah I'll be using the R31 for Ansel!! :D haha

I put myself in blue just in case. Ive done a high 54 at OP south and a 1.14 at wakie, so was borderline I think? Also my first sprint and 2nd time at EC in this car!

I went in SV over 3001cc

But yeah, I've entered and paid!! Can't wait!!!

i'll give my R888's a final send off :D

Fingers crossed i can get to the 22nd

Il be there.... annual leave already set

Id agree its borderline but can always change group during the day its no big deal. Probably find if you enter the faster group you will also be faster.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
