Bed? I only just finished playing with and packing the car - now I have around 3 hours of work reports to do that have to be out by 9am tomorrow morning .... sigh

Well I have just finished typing my work reports (and had a couple of little involuntary snoozes at my desk), so am heading to bed now for a couple of hours. See you chaps at City Dismantlers.

it was great to meet you guys at Mallala today (although i am still trying to match up SAU forum names to first names to cars!). while it was cold and wet standing out on the track in the rain with the instructors, i did manage to take quite a few photos so will try to post them up soon. i'm glad that i brought my waterproof jacket! sorry that i didn't get to chat with the guys in the third group before lunch but it's hard to cover the track on foot!

i hope that the rain held off after lunch and allowed the track to dry out for the half laps. sorry that i couldn't stay and play, but my one lap in the V35 on my way out was still fun :) i would have loved to bring out my other car, but as it is currently rolling on semi-slicks, it wouldn't have been much fun on the track or the street given the rain today.

i trust that you all had a good time and learnt a thing or two about your cars and driving techniques. this Advanced Driving course will hopefully whet your appetite for the High Performance course on November 23, so please fill out the form that Dean has given you to secure your place now! if you have any questions, please email Dean or PM me here.

cheers - Kim

like wise id like some pics... great day just frieken cold, gave me a stiff as neck... AWESOME THO and we (SAU:SA) and other skyline ppl that came with us should have a trackday some time? be great fun

Intercooler pipe reattached by Nyt so car made it home.

Rich had fouled up the plugs a bit but by the time I got home it was idling like a kitten again.

Had a great day guys - Thanks to Kim and Luke.

Absolutely keen for 23 November 2009. I might even be able to provide some more entertainment for the fans.

Cheers

Thanks for organising the day Kim - it was awesome fun and a great test on dry, damp & wet track conditions.

Glad your R33 GTR made it back Red Back. It was the only 'casualty' of the day so that's a pretty good effort all round.

Now I just need a helmet and new brakes by Nov 23rd. Anyway got some Brembo F40s they want to sell?

Yeah thanks Kim - definately an enjoyable day. Good to meet a lot you finally, with the only familar face being Andrews (from back in 03/04). As with Luke I learnt a hell of a lot and was very happy with how my car went considering the extra weight. Will definately be there in November. Gotta love the many handbrake attempts... I think Luke won that contest, followed closely by krishy - pretty good guys!! I'll post some pics up tomorrow - is anyone precious about their number plates?? If so speak out. :( Oh and still bummed HESLO got 168km/h max speed, beat me by 2km/h - bastard!! :)

Great day guys, glad you all enjoyed and will definately be there for the 23rd of November. Special thanks to Kim for doing all the leg work, you're a champ mate!

Craig, good contest mate! Can grab the vids you got of me and also any pics anyone may have? Could care less about plates being shown and as hi-res as possible :)

David, good to see you got home mate, definately the plugs yes?

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
