haha yep...I was complaining because my lap timer showed 1.07.00...wished I had cracked the 1.06s. Turns out natsoft says I did.....if it's on the internet it must be true :D I am stoked with that time it is a fair bit quicker than my last best.....those Federal FZ201 are a good thing :D

Thanks to Steve and Shell for standing at the flag point all day, and to Aggrodave for organising all the entrants.

Very sorry to see what happened to Eric's car, and I hope both you and Reece pull up OK. That was by far the worst incident I have seen at one of our track days - I hope everything is sorted out at minimal cost

Great to meet up with Dave > then Dean 'n Jeremy > BenM who talked me thru' the circuit > great buzz.

Then there's Sid (Yay), Steve-0, Mark, Patrick, Brian, Neil, Nick, Shell, Eric, Duncan, Ben, Buz, Matt, Kory, Matt, and others that are testing my premature dementia who offered support eh?

If you Eric can PM me with the dialogue between you and that jerk driving Dan Mackie's car > I'd like to make contact with Simon Mackie, Dan's dad and see if some moral backbone can spike that dude's conscience!

I've received heresay reports only, and I don't want to act on those alone.

Had a great day out and cant wait for the next one. Did a 1:17.1 so thats ok,but still lots of room to improve. Bring on May!

We'll look at class points shortly and let everyone know.

Shell: I'm not sure if you have spoken to eric about a couple of those shots in your facebook link but if he isnt aware of them it's probably not a good idea to post them. Depends on how he is handling it i guess.

Would be nice if old mate in the 300 offered to replace the fire extinguishers another bloke and I emptied under his bonnet. His car would have been in an even worse state without it.

Eric's a friend in person and also on my facebook so if he has a problem with the couple of pics on the flatbed, I'm sure he'll tell me :)

I dont really know him just looking out for him - he seems like a good guy. Speaking vaugely about something is one thing but pics become a massive issue if insurance gets involved and if a bunch of people are posting them up it can have consequences :cheers:

The whole incident happened right in front of me and im still struggling to work out how he got it so wrong.

Unless you have spoken to the driver involved it's pretty poor form to post pics of an incident.

Not sure if that was aimed at me, but it was a public event at a public racetrack and sh!t happens. But removed it out of courtesy anyway...

      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.

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      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

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      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.
