Here are a few of the better vids from the weekend in Armidale.

This was my first outing in the new car so there were plenty of mistakes

but I had lots of fun. My best run of the day was third fastest on one of the tracks,

could have been quicker but was haveing too much fun getting sideways.

Hi Matt,

Did you get any videos of my Silvia running?

Was good to see some other imports out there having a run.

Cheers Brett

Sorry mate no footage of your car but i think my mate with the Z20 may have some.

Also might add the winner of the day was a Honda Prelude......With V tech.. :P

Yeah bit hard to beat front wheel drives, but I know who had the most fun on the day, and it definately wasn't him.

Got the results in the mail today and it turns out i got the best time in the last stage after being asked to town it down.

Funny, that was the most boring run of the day for me, no sideways action at all.

neat and tidy is always quicker than trying to wring its neck wheel spinning.

awesome result...faster than Brett eh?...lol

On that course he was faster than me, but it did suit the GTR, was the only course during the day that was wet, it rained just before the last course, and the silvia is not the best in the wet with 244rwkw and bald road tyres.

Was a great day though and good to see someone out there in a GTR having a go.

BTW I ended up finishing 5th outright and 1st in class. Not too bad considering the power and how much it was on the limiter sideways through out the day. Car was run basically the same as when run at Compak Attak in March, save for different rear tyres.

Now that ive had a taste of what this car has to offer im keen as to get it to a real track. I will be going to wsid next wednesday night and then hopefully to a track day, maybe wakefield park.

Will be good to see what it runs down the strip, what sort of power does it have? Keep us informed as to how you go at WSID.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
