Next weekend now. Hows everyone's prep going? Troy?

I forgot I had a wedding on the saturday so I'll be coming up sunday morning.

I'm at a wedding on the Island Saturday, win win.

prep work...has wheels and tires, pads, oil. yep ready.

(tires are rooted though...)

Great event with the sun even breaking through the clouds every now and then.

PB for Ant and I've finally got a time for PI!

Results

I'm stoked with a 48. Faster than I expected on tyres that are now 14 months and 7 track days old.

Missed ya Bris.

You'll have to make up for it at deca :)

What an awesome day! The forecast all week was not looking good for the weekend and certainly Sat lived up to the hype. However Sun proved to be pretty good weather for racing at PI.

After a day of mixing it up with slick shod GT3 cup cars, ex V8 supercars and pretty much any other car you can think of, I ended up with a new PB of 1:47.14 besting my previous by around 2.5 secs. To say I'm wrapped would be an understatement as my goal for the day was to get into the 47's let alone a low 47. Big thanks to Russ - without us trading times and having a ding dong battle via the timing sheets all day I probably wouldn't have pushed as hard as I was.

Despite a small group from SAU which is the norm these days at track events :P it is a good indicator of the depth of driver talent when every class we were put in (rightly or wrongly :banana: ) has an SAU member at the top of the tree - congrats to all and once again an amazing effort by Russ :blink:

Dane - where were you? I would've thought with some Radicals on track you would've been there for sure. That was no ordinary Z...put it this was the model badge at the back said 600Z instead of 260Z giving us a clue - passed me on the straight like I was standing still :rolleyes::banana:

Incar vids to follow later in the week.....

What's the go with the 260Z?

I've been informed it's an ex-Nascar engine with custom 4wd system in the old 260Z shell. Kevin Mackrell is the driver. Absolutly crazy speed in a straight line!

That's what I'm there for :D

Ahhh yep, I've seen that Zed do a hill climb before. Very, very quick!

I was at Presidents day for the Porsche Club on Sunday as I wanted my lady friend to go for a ride in a club car and see what it was all about. Would have liked to come down though.

The day ran pretty well and we got heaps of sessions. An outback went front on into the outside (?) wall at the hay shed. There was talk

of carnage the day before though. Aquaplane and crash on the front straight?

Awesome to finally see a GTSt being punted well and showing how quick they can be....lol i just never had the talent to prove the point >_<

That's not true mate. You've just gotta stop tinkering and start driving!!!

Fark you guys are flying.

Well done, super effort...

Maybe one day I'll get back out there...

Oh crap, starting to sound like Brisby.... :(

haha. More driving required! Track days are a little bare these days.

    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
    • If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
