[Damo_R34]

fortnight lukey! we were a shit crew, popped the bonnet, checked intake temps (by feel), and assessed brake disc situation at end of every session

[Luke_ENR34]

o nice, do they have a tyre fitter there?

[Inline 6]

looks like a good day out.

damn u flu preventing me from coming along but on the plus side i did get some much needed uni hw done

anyone trading paint with the lambo?

[Damo_R34]

No but he drove like a wanker, overtaking on corners and stuff. He did race in the CAMS license holders group, but its a practise day, no need to show ur fully sick skillz.

Luke, no tyre fitter unfortunately.

Was a wicked day - ran a 1:17:01 as the quickest, and no matter what I did I couldn't crack a 16!!! Was great to get back on the track again - Dstroy did really well to keep that beast on the circuit with all the sliding around you were getting!!!!!!

Very nice time Andrew...you are doing very well.

Car looks very nice too

Andrew had some funny noises coming from his engine, so out it comes

[Blue32]

Yep under no strain whatsoever (I was following my mates WRX to get some video footage from behind his car) it developed a ticking type noise in the engine. I thought initially it was one of my brake ducts working loose and rubing on my rim spokes - but it wasn't so I went for the precautionary shutdown and did the 'walk of shame' pushing the car back to the pits Sounds to me like it is a head related noise of some description - but I haven't ruled out something a little more involved......it is a GTR after all! I'll get into it early this week and see what I find.......

Sorry to hear Andy

BTW how much does your car weight atm? How useful is the larger spoiler at Mallala?

The car is std weight still - in fact probably heavier than stock with the cage and extra coolers and oil on board. Running the spoiler on the rear seems to have settled the slide tendancy on the dog leg on the back straight. I want to aid canards to the front too - just trying to find someone who does them. I don't pretend to be such a great driver that the whole aero thing makes a huge difference - but it makes sense to me that it can't hurt and must be doing something to help out.

[DSTROY]

With the speeds your doing around the back of the track. i think down force would have to help.

[Luke_ENR34]

what sorta top speeds were you guys reaching?

[DSTROY]

my dash was saying over 180, but the computer said my top speed only 174
