And a HUGE thanks to all volunteers, from BBQ to merchandise to sign on (Tegan did great after Anna and Duncan had to stop), cones to timing to sceuitineering - the list could go on and on!

Thanks everyone, without your help these days can't happen

yeah I enjoyed once I figured out (last 2 runs) why the hell the car wasn't making any power at all ie. TCS was ON *facepalm* This is what happens when you drive a skyline with 2 hours of sleep night before..

On the first run I rode my clutch like crazy and smoke started coming out of it like mad ... I let it cool down but can still smell that stench. Doesn't seem to be slipping though. What's the chances it's gonna have permanent damage ? I rode that thing like a mofo trying to "wing it" on the first course..

it was a good day and im suprised the rain held out as long as it did. Huge thanks to the guy with the white 180, without his fathers help i dont think i would have got the battery secured and got out on the track.

Looking forward to pics and results.

It was good to catch up with those I know and meeting those who you I didn't know before today. There were some pretty epic skids out there today! Nicely done people. I think the rain added a lil something extra in the afternoon too :)

Literally hundreds of more shots on the disc. PM Me or Talk to Pezhead if you haven't ordered one yet.

Love how straight this GTR is.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
