Well that was a fun day, even though it wasn't the actual day that we were originally aiming for I didn't mind the 5 lap sessions. The way my oil temp was rising I wouldn't have been able to do much more that that anyway.

Although I only went out there for some track time, after the second session I was leading the Modern Reg' part of the day so I decided to actually try any have a crack at getting a good modern reg' place. The next session I tripled my points for the day though and took myself down to third place then after a reasonable 4th session ended up with a second place for the day.

Started off doing 1:26/27's and by the end of the day was averaging 1:25's with a best of 1:24.73, not bad considering it was my first time to Mallala and was on street tyres.

Here's the days results;

hey Dale, you messed up that last session, its session 3 again.

Well done on the second place I wouldn't mind going to one of these again and giving it a decent go at getting consistent times.

So true steve, If it wasnt for "Who" id have no interest in turbo nissans. Still remember when I was 15 and I was scared shitless by his converted turbo pulsar.

Mine is mounted behind the passenger seat, where the back seat would be. It should be in a spot that is easy to reach.

Looks like I wasn't out at this day - but trust me I was there! It was a good chance to shakedown the GTR for the impending Porsche Super Sprint day I've entered this weekend. Probably a good thing I did too - blew a brake line on the pit straight just like the winfield gtr did on its debut!! Was a little difficult to pick the pace to ensure a >1:20 lap - and I failed at least once (black flagged!) but once I got into it it was great fun. Just braking early and no boost plus slowing on the start finish straight until over the line did it. Recommend these days to anyone and anycar - the dial your own lap time means laptimes don't matter, consistency is what counts.

Can't wait for Sunday now - fixing the brake problem at the moment, and a little oil cooler setup mod to help with the temp control and I'll be out. Oh - and you can do parade (passenger) laps at the porsche days.........shall we start the bidding????

Hey Andrew, If your gonna take a passenger i would suggest lining the passenger seat in plastic for the seats protection

[Luke_ENR34]

i recommend qfm a1rm pads... they're really good all round, cold or hot you wont feel the diff, very consistent pedal feel and they seem to last a long ass time too.

GSL rallysport is doing a half price rears deal which means front and rears for $191... delivered. I cant say personally how they are compared to top brand items but ive heard that they're just as good.
