got my re540s and wheel alignemt today :)

alignment is a tad less than perfect :) but that will do for now

re540s on my 16" stock rims are sticky but seems to sideroll a lot more than what was on my 18". However the weight loss from 18"-->16" rims feels great in term of acceleration. I weighted last night and it's something like almost 19kg/4 wheels. ....hmm need to find some twisty roads tonight to get use to this setup and prepare for track tomorrow.

So are you guys meeting at Sefton for a small cruise up there? Cant wait to hit some high speed corners tomorrow :D

Common guys, come down the track and burn some rubber.

The event was so fun.

There were 3 porsches there, 911tt4wd, GT3 and a ?996 race car. I think matt said I am about 5 sec behind the 911. This is not bad considering it's my first time there and the alignment setting was not setted as aggressive to prolong tyres life.

However, it did not feel like a 5 sec slower with those beast around. It's really difficult to keep up!!!!! I was getting the hang of it until my supercharger belt shredded :) Luckily there was no other damge and the car is still driveable. Well no boost or 9krpm for the next few weeks for me.

I think we all had fun there today. Thanks for the delicious food nightcrawler.

We should organise another Skyline track day. I hope we will get more pple next time.

Quote of the day

"You are faster than nightcrawler" from Matt

hehehe poor nightcrawler with a fresh set of Dunlop street rubber. It must have been difficult to control that beast.

yes, yes it was :cheers: .... was very unhappy with my LM702s and found out why when we got home - after a couple of laps they went molten .... they have melted and set several times over by the looks of it - lots of thick patches that had been very runny at some point.

Was a fun day anyhow - and I only spun it once. I well and truly proved the point that my car needs new suspension too :(

Nice meeting you guys too.

Many thanks to nightcrawler for organising the event, providing the delicious food and putting on a drift show on the race track in front of 2 porsches hehehehe.

I am itching to get back there again guys. I want to up my boost so much to catch up with the 911 turbo. Apparently that is the fastest road legal/track car in Australia as money can buy :rofl:

I hope you will get your beast then too mattr

Nightcrawler when will you be ready again?

John your car is nice mate

I think we should aim for an April day .... when the weather starts getting a bit cooler, but it is still unlikely to rain.

And maybe I can sort out my suspension and save up for a set of new 540s by then :) - then maybe I can keep up with you Dan :rofl:

nightcrawler, I had a look and found that

250F is about 121Celcius...it's not too bad.

My temp maxed at 132C which is about 270F :rofl:

I need an oil cooler mate.

Which oil cooler do you recommend mate?

We should do a group buy .... I have been following the progress of this one on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...gory=43807&rd=1 - I will be interested to see how much it goes for. It sounds like he has a business - so maybe we can approach him to do a group buy? Anyone else interested in an oil cooler? As the ad says it helps slow down the degradation of your oil - hence makes it work better for longer.

      EFR7670 exhaust housing selection RB26

      Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.

      People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.

      Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
