I would be interested if any of the 400+ guys track their cars?

Having played gtrs for a while it seems the magic number is 350 at the track

And I'm not talking poofy super sprint shit... More like 30minutes to 1 hour sessions

And if u have what cooling systems you have?

Never a truer word was spoken.

Also mechanical sympathy for the drivetrain is null and void, the drags I found to be the worst offender.

Unless you have big dollar items trying keep it together I assume.

But then a lot of it has to do with the driver, when I had my old boat its driver was rubbish though,LOL .

But like what was mentioned, you rarely see the big cars out on a regular basis, its usually, track day, broken, fixed, drags, broken, fixed and so on and so forth.

Either that or they are "dyno queens".

I hope I win LOTTO soon...........

I was mainly interested In your cooling setups

How extreme they are

I'm working on the GIO Gibson 32 next weekend at Sandown, I was hoping to get underneath with the camera... Quite extreme under there, as it was setup for the Sandown 500 I think. Coolers on everything.

Could give you some good ideas... :)

Is there even a such thing as 1 hour sessions at track days?That's mega hard work on the car!!! Weather it has 250kw or 500kw.These are road cars, not v8 supercars

When I was racing bikes and even open track days, we were limited to 20min sessions. 1 hour is murder on any road vehicle

      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.
