My front right shock is gone so I will have to give this one a miss. Not to mention I'm gonna be falling from the sky at 200kph while the race is going :)

Fabs, check out the info from one of the other Mallala prac day threads :no:

E.g http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ma...y-t264900.html#

Many variables on oil temp mate - power output, rev range you are using (ie experience on track) sump size, oil pump, turbos (water vs oil cooled) etc. Usually a stockish GTR (with standard initial mods of exhaust, boost, intake, tune up to around 240rwkw) will be up there over 100 degrees after 8 laps or so, ambient temperature dependant. For tomorrow, with a session of a couple of sprints and a cool down in between (which will also help your tyres, and brakes cool down) you'd be pretty good. Main thing is to let it cool once it is hot for a lap or two then you can get back on it. Or you could fit an oil cooler in record time.........

There is absolutly no way I could make this event because of work commitments ffs but I think next session I will come out. Been out a whole heap of times to watch a friend of mine race, he has a white VL Turbo, got 1:22 or something very similar as his fastest lap and will be coming out shortly with more mods so I think I'll definatly come down for the next event and enter.

Goodluck guys and no one twist there cars. I was there last time watching when an evo 8? hit the wall on the straight after the hairpin just as the kink in the straight is. Slightly damp roads + full racing slicks = understeer :rofl: Never heard what happened to the driver, he was taken to hospital not moving tho

New oil and air filter are in, new pod, new plugs, topped up brake and steering fluids, checked brake pads and under body for leaks. Gotta do tyre pressures tomorrow before i head out.

What air pressures should I be running on 18's? 225/40 front 245/45 rear. Was thinking around 30-32 front 32-34 rear?

i see, last time i ran 36/38 and felt like a bit too much... that was on 16s with 205/55 tho.

will go for higher psi and let some off during the day till it feels right i guess, cheers!

time for bed and early morning then :angry:

    • 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.
