Hi guys

Was just looking on the Lakeside calendar and saw that there is a general practice day this Sunday (16th August)

http://www.qldraceways.com.au/main.php?menu=qri02

Just wondering if anybody is going to this?

Thanks

I'll be there :(, well, hopefully a few of us will be ;)

I'll be there :D , well, hopefully a few of us will be :)

is there an entry form for general practice or is it just rock up and have fun... also do they have timing equipment working on these days.

cheers

I couldn't find the entry form on the website for this particualr day so I just called the office on

1800 RACERS and she emailed it over to me.

I don't think there'll be timing.

I wouldn't leave entry til the day, I did that once and was turned away, full.

I want to see pics of this new wing! :down:

I backed to backed it Roy, first with GTR wing with Nismo lip, then another bootlid with the alloy wing.

It was given to me, and I had a spare bootlid, so I figured I'd try it...... I do hang my head when it's on there though :/

And this is the GTR it came in on mate.

haha, mates, as much as it really pains me to say it, I do think it will be quicker with it on.

Now, there was no official timing out there on Sunday, so I cannot say for sure, so I'm only judging by the seat of my pants. Keep in mind I also only had two flying laps before the gearbox popped.

1. I set the gurney flap to the most aggressive angle to try for the biggest change possible for the sake of actually feeling it.

2. It pulled 5th in around the same spot on the straight so it's not creating extra drag.

3. On every 3rd gear corner I felt like I could get the power down earlier. So, Caroussel, Hungry, and Eastern Loop, I reckon I was fully on the gas 10 to 15 metres earlier.

4. It was carrying more speed under Dunlop bridge (top of 4th gear), and it seemed a little less nervous in the bum.

5. It seemed a little less prone to understeer in the fast corner entering the straight.

6. It broke 3rd gear exiting Hungry, maybe the extra grip was the straw that broke the camel's back?

If I really am able to get the power down that much sooner, it's gotta be worth some time...... DAMMIT! lol

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
