that one looks really good however I dont need all the parts in that kit.

All I need is the cooler and a braided line. I can get the braided line and fitting fromm Enzed. So it's only the cooler that I need. I think Autobahn has got one but I am not sure how good it is.

Keep me posted on the GB thing though.

The current bid price on the kit that you mention is a steal though. The oil filter adaptor thing alone cost more than $100

Hi.

What times does your S15 do on Mallala?

What have you done to the car? (Brakes, Suspension?)

195Kw is impressive.

Hi,

Since we lost the old post, I thought I'd post up a reminder:

Mallala public track day

Sat 6th Dec

meet Sefton Plaza cnr Main North and Regency Roads 9am

Racing/Scrutineering starts at 10am (I think)

approx. 7 x 1 hour blocks, with 4 x 15 minute sessions (one of each class - car, bike, go-kart and open wheeler I believe) in each block. So you get to race 15 minutes in every hour (which u want to do to cool down anyhow).

Cost $70

Need:

- helmet

- long sleeves

- closed shoes

- non nylon-flammable clothing

- full licence - NO P-PLATERS - sorry :D

We will be cooking a basic bbq on the day and ask a gold coin donation or whatever you deem appropriate. I will bring a little barbie, utensils, sauce, bread, snags and chevaps. If you want anything else to cook on the bbq feel free to bring it.

I think that about covers it!! Come out even if you don't want to race (not that there's ANY excuse for not racing :) ).

Please post your intentions below so I can get a rough idea of food requirements (again - sorry).

Suspension and brakes are stock, except for some good dot5 brake fluid and good pads. Hence my lap times weren't very good due to body roll, and the fact that my Dunlop LM702 tyres went molten after a couple of hard laps and it was like driving on ice ....

Yeah power delivery is very nice, but I always want more power. My best 1/4 mile run is a 12.74 which I don't think is too bad either :) My power should be a fair bit more now due to the extra mods I have done since, but peak power currently has dropped in favour of a much fatter power and torque curve from very low down all the way to redline. I need to buy a Power FC so I can fit the Z32 air flow meter I have, as my Unichip doesn't support it :D

Would have been there definetly however was on the track Friday doing a Precision and Performance driving course run by the Australian driving Institute. Steve Cramp was one of the Instructors. Let him have a drive as he set up the Suspension and to show me how I can be quicker. From checking back on the video he was doing 1.24min laps with two of us in the car and a boost leak.

fyi everyone - this post has been dug up from a year ago - that was when a few of us did the "SAU track day".

My brother-in-law David was out there on Friday too Greg - he was in his white R33 - he is a mate of Steve's - and Steve does most of the work on his car. I was planning to go too, but I didn't manage to get an oil cooler in time (it arrives in the next few weeks) plus work got really busy etc so I didn't make it. Last time I was there is was doing flat 1:35s, but as I said above had tons of body-roll and very slippery tyres :( .... your times are very impressive!

Chapman I will definitely do one of these courses next year - I'll post up details closer to the event and see if we can get a bit of an SAU group out there. It sounded like it was great fun and very informative.

Spewin, would have loved to take part but was working - will come out next time.

Sounds like you guys had lots of fun though!

What tyre pressures were you running Nightcrawler???

I was sort of wondering where this trackday suddenly appeared from. It was from a while a go. The next course to be run is in March.

Can't remember what tyre pressures I was running John - I think just stock pressure of around 33psi from memory. And in case you didn't read all of my last post - this event was LAST year - not recently!

But Grepin, the track day that my brother-in-law went to, was the one you were at last Friday just gone. He had the white 33 and his name was David.

Yeah met David. His car is quiet quick for what looks like little outlay. Wonder why we take our cars so far these days. I had what may be BOV sticking. Havent had a chance to have a look at it yet.

yeah he has done the right things then stopped at the right point. He had done little bits and pieces previously also, but has just completed a good upgrade:

- Power FC (tuned by Martin Donnon)

- GT turbo of some sort (maybe 25/35 hybrid or similar)

- triple core radiator

- oil cooler

- bigger injectors

- bigger fuel pump

- thermo fans

- FMIC

and now he is running 238rwkw - a good figure for (like you say) relatively simple mods, done correctly.

    • 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.
