I hope you have a auto trans cooler for your auto box, i wouldn't take a auto car to a track without one

i don't hence why i want to service it... not planing on going nuts at the track anyways, mostly just to see where my suspension and brakes are at.

Forgot to ask you Pete, How did u find the Project Mu front rotors u have on the GTR? Looking at getting some soon.

obviously they were awesome but don't know if I can justify the cost for 2 piece rotors....depends on your brother & how cheap he can source them Luke.

the pads do have more life but they dont bite anywhere near as hard as the bendix, and i really hate that.

just going to get the rear rotors at the same time i get q1fm pads, less hassle in the long run imho - slotted on all 4 = sexy too

-D

yeah fair enough.

I speak from experience, it's hard to not go all out at Mallala because of the rush, adrenalin and excitement. Your normal wise judgments are completely thrown out the window, I saw my oil temp hit 125c last time I was there, normally I would have slowed down but instead just kept going all-out.

i lol'd ill be hard pressed to keep my oil temps under 150 once i start to boogey :happy: tooke the baby up ansties before just to make sure everything was alright.. it hasnt been "driven" in a few months and she pulled up beautifully.. so far how many sau crew will be there?? will be good to meet a few more of the track goers

so bassically we get to come thrash our cars, drift em, etc.. (within our driving abilities, of course)..

what if you dont want to drive too hard? just drive abit hard say up to 150klm?

i wouldnt piss of all you guys right? i dont want to push my limits too far.

and not worry about looking in the mirrors for cops?

gee that sounds heaven, haha..

id love to, but my sister might get the big question layd on her.

how often do these track days happen? any days with only skylines?

The one this weekend is NO drifting. Only grip, but if you go so fast and accidently slide turn one it should be ok, just dont try and drift or u will get kicked off. Usually happen once a month.

Where we meeting saturday morning ppl? Caltex at what time?

ok, thanks.

then if there is onenext month i am looking forward to it.

i am currently changing a few things on my car.

like the air intake/pod enclosure (custom, to suck air from outside) also wanna get it on the dyno..

see if it still has 182rwkw.

oh, and with this one is there a time the gates close? or i can rock up at say 3pm and drive on the track for a couple hours (keeping in mind the hour brakes) then leave? i might do that.

what if you dont want to drive too hard? just drive abit hard say up to 150klm? you *might* hit 150k's on the back straight, but as long as you leave room for any faster cars behdin you to overtake, it shouldnt be a problem

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
