I will have my old mans GTR ready for this but I will be in QLD for my 21st. Im not sure I want to let him take it out without somebody being there to help him, he knows stuff all about imports.

i wish my dad was as cool as yours.

this looks like fun, later in on the year when the weather cools down abit I will give it a go.

Is anyone else with Shannons, do you know if taking your car out onto the track voids insurance? if so can you get extra insurance for track use?

Yes will void your normal road insurance.

I will say on the track days and supersprints I have done for the year I have only ever seen one car come in off the track with damage :) It is a rareity if you are going out with good people ..

count me in can't wait.... should i bring the 33, 34, or 32?????

find 2 other drivers and bring them all :-)

You could be surprised..cause isnt it high revs which causes the oil surging not boost?? Blue32 isnt that right :)

It is mostly the high revs which causes the oil surge problem, but high G force also adds to the issue.

thanks for that info Jess.

Still im abit paranoid of that chance of an accident, I doubt my family and misses would allow for a replacement if I wrote it off with no insurance :)

Everyone has that ;)

Why dont you do some driver training to get your confidence up before you take your car on the track..Mallala is pretty good there is plenty of run off around most of the track so good for newbies...Should see some of the tracks I drive on not much room for error due to the walls being so close.

Accidents as in someone hitting you doesnt happen much either..Cause the cars should be well spaced apart and the other drivers if they have a quicker car "usually" are curtious to back off a bit and get around you safely..

Are you guys aloud passenger at any of the track days?

I am sure Mallala has days where you pay and there are instructors out there that if anyone is new or needs advice on tracking there car jumps in and gives you guidance?? We have it all the time over in NSW

I think I might do some driver training first :cool: I dont care if people think I look like a noob or sissy.

I know when I first got my car I gave myself a few scares not realising how tail happy DR's were. it took me a year before starting to know how hard to push it and its sweet spot before it wants to loose traction. still I dont like to get over confident as thats when people have accidents :yes:

Driver training is awesome! I know loads of great fast drivers over here that still get trainers in there car to help them tweak there driver skills and habits..Not sissy thing at all any one that thinks that is a noob!

I love the trainers in my car they help me go fast and thats a massive rush :cool:

If your car is is getting tail happy around corners you are going too fast into the corner. Use your brakes thats what they are for and use them hard :D Get down to a decent speed and turn in..Smoothness is the key at driving fast, where you look on the track and using your brakes well.... Its hard to explain in a post :yes:

Im sure if you went out to this day and asked Blue32 or DSTROY to give you a few pointer

Happy to help out with some driver pointers - you have to remember on a practice day with a day CAMS licence you will be in with the less seasoned track drivers - you can go as fast or slow as you feel comfortable. Passing under brakes or on corners is also prohibited, so you don't have to stress about being muscled out of the way.

Three legged GTR?

Nice Pics DSTROY !!

I just realised your car is basically a GTR :yes: Nice work!! Are you running Single Turbo on the 26??

Great that your willing to give pointers to the newbies.. Its scary on your first time out and you have no idea what the hell to do :cool:

I still dont haha Looks like there is loads of run off on the track except on the fish hook..The track looks so much like Wakefield

Blue32 do you take your car to the Tracks interstate??

Thats Hawt!!!What corner is that on????

If your going that quick through corners your car should be in the middle of the ripple stripe straighting out the corner :yes:

I wish I had the guts to go that quick I have the car to do it in :cool:

Thats on turn 3 (immediately after pit straight). The track diagram doesn't do that corner justice, it is a lot sharper early on, then the radius drops rapidly. Gotta brake deep into it, then get on the noise as you apex :cool:

No interstate racing as yet, my job has me away from home 6 months of the year at the moment. Will be doing Dutton, maybe Classic Adelaide, and some track days interstate in the next couple of years though....

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
