Had a ridiculously good time yesterday!! Thanks to all the organisers for another perfect day. Thanks to Ando especially for the good key tips that shaved up my times --very happy mate!!! :P

Bring on the next one.

Ian, champ you did absolutley awesome! You had it down pat before i jumped in... just need some 'fine tuning' :happy: Wakefield is a great track to 'push the envolope' as such as it rewards you well with times when you give it about 90%! Hitting into the 1:14's is nothing to be sneezed at, well done mate!

As i said before we left, get to OP GP!! By far one of the best tracks, fast, technical, flowing, everything you could ask from a track!

ok here is a couple of videos from yesterday.

still editing some others so will try put more up soon

whoever had the white 33 with the plates GEE 33R you should watch the last one. it has a few laps of me behind you.

after going through my videos and timing my laps via that way. my quickest was a 1:16 which i am rather pleased with considering it was my first track day ever and on street tyres

Looks like I am the last one to say thanks, but thats to ALL for an awesome day.

All my mates hear now is "track day this... and track day that..." and they are sick of me talking about my track day already! HAHAHAHA

But i had so much fun. Was so different to go there with a club and not just randoms like i do normally.

Was great to meet the whole gang and finally put some faces to the Usernames and Avatar pictures!!!!

Cheers to chubbs for hand timing me to pull a 1:14 flat...... pretty dam stoked with that, with more mods to come, looking forward to the next day already..

THANKS AGAIN ALL!!!

Oh yeah and it was a race against time to get home on my semi slicks before the storm, just got home and them BOOM down came the rain and thunderstorm. Plus there was flooding in eastern suburbs, looked insane!!!

Good track day for me, despite a number of issues with the car... popping out of third gear was one, the shower of fuel from my tank breather hose was another. Sorry to the open-top guys who got a faceful. Fatz timed a couple of laps for me and reckons I did 1:12.97 which I certainly hope to improve on when the suspension (and other things) are sorted. Abo I hope you enjoyed watching my spin into turn one hehe. Also thanks to Mr Cass for minding my bag. Nearly had to buy a new toothbrush...

Man I wish I had a working car... You kids had so much fun!

Thank you to everyone that spent many hours organising the event, even though I didn't get to drive I'll be at the next one... for sure.

So jealous of all of your lower control arms, lol.

^^

haha, that was me. I saw you had a smile on your face and after the wave new it was all good.

Just got back from Canberra after heading down again this morning i am officially dead tired!

I also found out what my massive shuddering was any time i tapped the breaks on the way home - cracked rear right rotor. Given their condition I'm not too surprised, and gives me a good reason to upgrade i suppose :-)

    • Google says for a 1998 Nissan Maxima to pull/pry, and the metal pin might even come out with it. I'd do a bit more googling, there was a few videos, find some where the shafts/needles appear most similar and compare the techniques.
    • Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ. Located: Auckland, New Zealand.    
    • I particularly like the look of the John Player Special team. (Thumbnail isn't different but hit play for the clip)
