Kim or Luke - can we get another thread going with regards to the High Performance Course on the 23rd of November. I'm definately keen and got a mate at work with a 34 GT-T keen as well. Do we get a spot like the last one or just send in the form soon?

yep, will do. i just have to recover from all the administrative stuff involved with setting up the last track day! Luke and i will post up something soon.

thanks for all your positive feedback - i'm glad that you all had a great time and got some useful tips from the experience. Nov 23 will take things up several notches so i'm sure that you'll enjoy access to the full high speed circuit for the day. i hope to have my track car out for that event or might have something completely different by then. three months isn't that far away!

cheers - Kim

Yep, had an awesome time out there. Thanks a bunch for organising it Kim - the day ran like clockwork!

Thanks for the comments from other guys - yes it was bad planning to have so much damn work to do the night before, but it was the price I had to pay for taking the day off. Well worth it though and managed a solid 11 hours sleep last night to make up for it :D

Yeah David/writeoff, of course I wasn't going to leave anyone stranded out there :D .... what sort of mod/father figure do you think I am? Also note the Luke/Heslo stayed there with me until the very end, so he did his Daddy duties well too :D

I will have my new car for the next one, so will see how she goes on the track.

If anyone is concerned about their plates showing let me know and I will black them out. Couldn't be stuffed renaming all the photos, but I am pretty sure I left viewer editing on, so feel free to rename them if you wish. I resized them for internet/upload reality, but if anyone wants high-res ones, let me know - most high res pics are 8Mp so weigh in at around 2.5Mb each.

Nice pics Andrew, would love to grab all of them hi-res off of ya. Mind putting them on a CD for me pretty please?

Good to see David got home nice and safe, fouled plug(s) in the end yes?

Who said I was under 20km/h? Pretty sure the car is warmed down enough already when I'm like freezing my tits off :D

Scandy did afterwards (he was joking at the time). I was just shit-stirring Vu. No offence was intended. :D I didn't even see the incident so have no idea what happened.

Besides my view is that if you didn't spin at least once then you obviously weren't trying hard enough... at least that the excuse I'm using for my spin. :D

I managed to top out at 164km/h with my 200kw (boost set to 12psi).

My brake pedal was consistant all day, even after the 6 laps at the end of the day. I'm running RDA slotted discs up front with QFM A1RM pads and some unique autosports front brake air deflectors, nismo crossdrilled discs on the rear with genuine nissan pads and BMW dot4 fluid in the system (barely a week or 2 old), also have a Cusco brake cylinder master stopper as well.

Maybe its time to try the QFM brake pads....so far everyone i have spoken to that have been on the track recommend them so will chuck some in for the next track day.....

Epic failed are those f**king tossbag f**king wankstains f**king criticizing how I want to f**king drive on a f**king race track where your meant to f**king learn how the car behaves and learn driving techniques and shit and have a f**kING FUN TIME aswell.

f**king.

Come on guys... Enough now! Vu, I'm sure that what had been said was just shit stirring, I don't think the intent was to rile you up, take it easy bud! :D

Answered for Vu's quote

i had my moments but didnt spin....caught it on the last second stuff you know....

Krishy I would have thought your brake fluid would more likely be the culprit of your spongy pedal. What fluid were you using, and when was the last time you changed and bled it? Of course pads will help, but fluid is the most important imho.

i had PBR 500 or whatever fluid its called....replaced it a fair while ago so i am thinking that it most likely was the fluid.....well better knowledge for next time i guess

Once it's boiled it's useless, but even when it hasn't been boiled, over time the lines take on water and the boiling point is lowered alot. Just get about 2l-3l of cheap fluid and flush that through before next track day, will do a better job than old brake fluid even if the existing stuff is good like Motul RBF600.

PBR is cheap shit, use some good fluid like Motul RBF660

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
