Any one interested in a cruise sat nite? It would be fun.

I am up for a midnight or late cruise

I will be bugged after a track day and a chrismas dinner on sat.....but I like to test out the new 540....that's if I could get them today

Getting excited about this track day now

Pitty that most ppl car are not ready yet :)

Erica and I will be coming down for a look, but not at 10:00am!! Way too early!! :) We'll get there at about lunch time.  Matt you coming with us or working on your car?

I'm a coming......like a grease monkey =p better bring a towel for ole stinky to sit on----love the grease.

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 :(

was a good day out, im burnt today tough. Andrew you need betr rubber and suspension, Well done dan those 540's work a treak, nex time hope to see more out there and mabye ill have my own car by then

yes, had I had 540s on the front and rear like Dan, maybe I coulda got some of my power to the ground :cheers:

It was great sideways fun all the same :( .... love the 4 wheel dorifto

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:

I betta bring a spare belt then :D

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.

    • 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.
