Thanks to SAU exec's for organising another great track day as we both had a great time. :(

The time we put into car prep paid off with a split hose on the boost controller the only issue for the day and once I found where the hiss was coming from a simple fix.

A big thank you to:

Gary Baxter for his advice on tyre pressures because it made quite a difference to grip levels.

Ando (S13Deviat) for showing me the correct lines and braking points

Chris (evil weevil) for showing Clinton some good lines and braking points – to the point where the old 626 was going quicker that it should have been

We now cannot wait for the next track day and we have renewed enthusiasm to put more effort into proper oil management work on the R33's so they can see more track time. :)

Ohhhh Adam U have no ideea. I even washed the car for you but u did not nottice. I LOVE YOU GUYS. I wonder why I stayed under a rock so many years....what a waste.......sorry a uber waste!

Thank you eug,your making me all the more keen to keep on having a go. :( genelle.

did somebody say oil leak.....

came out to the car this morning to find a nice big puddle of oil under it. :(

not sure what has happened as it was fine at the track all day and coming home. looks like it will be taking a trip to the mechanic to investigate.

but had an awesome day anyway. cant wait for the next one.

Andy did you get my almost big lose on video?

ive got a few laps of yours.

i still need to edit some footage an post up but should be up shortly.

oh and a few pics to put up.

Charles, mate all good!

Im glad you guys liked it and happy that Clinton was out there flogging the arse off the 626!!!

I saw him over the flip flop each lap getting faster and faster!

Well done guys - see you next track day!

John - sucks to hear mate :(

Do you have an oil cooler?

any loose fittings or lines?

I had a loose fitting on my old r33 on the return oil cooler line, was leaking a bit, simple fix, hope its just that mate :)

Sorry to hear John. That thing has been bullet proof through Wakie and OP as well. Hopefully its something small like an oil line or something.

Did any of you see a particulary crazy person in a very pretty black conv doing equally crazy shit in the arvo.

I did,,,I was in the passenger seat and loved all of it. Slight tail out through turn 1 at full song had me laughing my head off.

You are with out a doubt one of the best drivers SAU has mate.

On his behalf I would also like to appoligize to the skyline drivers that we harrased lap after lap,,,I was trying to control him,,,but it doesn't always work.

Neil.

Matt (MBS206) that was me at the flip flop - we knew you had dramas, I waved the yellow flag as you went past to let others know to be careful :(

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
