Noooo..... never :happy:

DAMN i wish i went to the track day

You should have, there will definately be more however. In the mean time, maybe try this to get a feel for it. A bit less hard on your car and you'll learn an assload

yeah track days pwn, so going to get off my ass more and get my car back on the road

Damn straight mister, get it going! ;)

I would but i only have a ford laser until mid-last next yr

What a day. For my first time out at Mallala I had an absolute ball. Good to give my car a real test on the track. Also I managed twice to pull a 1.29 which I was pretty happy with. Thanks to the execs for organising such a successful day. Now I can't wait for the advance driving course to learn a bit more so I can bring my times down.

well i had fun. I think i need moar powah.... held a few nice slides through turn one though. I managed a best time of 1:30.7, which is is 2 seconds faster than my personal best and gave a few of you turbo's a run for you're money! Looking forward to the photographers pics of me and josh at the southern hairpin.

Also a note to the organizers; mustaches should be made mandatory for all future track related events.

The times will be up Late tonight or tomorrow, it's taking ages to type them into Excel and i need a nap now as i'm knackered.

thanks again for organising the timers and taking up your entire day (and night) to get us a timesheet - very much appreciated!

Personally I found the instant good/bad/best lap feedback was awesome - let me link the way I'd taken each corner with the resulting time much better than getting the times after the whole session. What is the brand of the timer? I'm going out to get myself one for future days...

Cheers

Thanks to all those that helped put this day together :happy: I had an awesome time out there, gave my car a hard time all day slightly improving my lap times throughout the day. Set a new PB of 1.20.64 i think it was :D Car ran like a dream all day, went through a front pair of QFM Comp9 pads on the front and A1RM's on the rear and cracked another rear rotor :/ Rear brake calipers started the day painted red and ended up pure black from being so hot ;)

I have some video footage that i'll get to during the week and post up, think i got most of the cars out there.

hi guys,

thanks for letting me test my "other car" out there today. with less than 100km on the new setup and tires (of which 60km was driving to the track) i got to warm everything up nicely and nothing broke (well nothing that i have found so far) for a series of 1'26 laps.

after a neat 1'26.3 (with Group Four's R35 GTRs circling around me like hungry sharks) i called it an early day before anything went wrong (or i was tempted to test the limits).

was a great bunch of people out there with a fantastic atmosphere (the club bbq was a great idea) and i look forward to the next SAU trackday!

cheers - Kim

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
