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

Can you PM me about this too please Chris ('er gregor)?

Already received a PM from an appropriate party!

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:

Yeah he is a good guy :) I don't think insurance is a worry, sadly there is none on the race track with most insurers. I'm sure he appreciates you looking out for him :thumbsup:

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...

I get that, its more of a courtesy thing. I was going to send you a quick PM but i thought it better to say it generally in case anyone else was posting them too. No offence meant.

Hey folks thanks for the concerns. I am a play by the rules kind of guy so unless my insurance covers training days I will not be pursuing otherwise with my insurance co.

I would appreciate if people refrain from posting the pics though. It was a fluke accident that shouldn't happen at a club level track day. For the club's sake and until I can get something sorted with the other driver I don't want people to focus on the negative.

Thank you all - Eric

Had a great day. Run really well and it's a credit to SAU and RENEW for running a great day. Great to meet some of the renew peoples and the usual folk and some new SAU'ers. Also chatted to some of the mini guys too, damn those mini's are cool! If i could be bothered i would head back there for the anniversary track day tomorrow, but that's too much effort.

Besides what we all know happened, it was a great run track day and i had heaps of fun.

Got a lot of quality photos, thanks to the rotor boys for popping out flames constantly!

I'm so knackered and i'll post a few photos tomorrow but for now... i'm off to bed.

Thanks SAU!

Had a blast guys, despite a intercooler pipe that exploded 2 laps in. Thank god thats all it was. a HUGE plug to Ultimate tunes in Phillip ACT for getting my car up and running and stripping one of thir customers cars to do so (yes he agreed to it). I would have had no idea how to strip the car. Booze on the way to those guys.

Correct me if I am wrong but believe I was the only ACT car running (the other being parted to fix my car). It would be great to see more guys from the ACT actually come to a track day to race (great support from the ACT onlookers though).

Finally got into the big boys group and felt the tyres were useless, maybe too worn I thought, I had trouble catching anyone and that EVO was just flying past me, then realised I was doing the same times, just up against better car/driver combos, duhhh... Did a personal best at 1.10.6, was looking at an easy top 10 place before al those other GTR's in session 5 put down some great times. As a near stock 33 GTR and the only one that made it into street class on the day, I was happy with the car and myself. Maybe one day Reece will bring his skyline out to play and show us how it's done, hey Reece???

Had a talk to the renew guys about the interclub competition going on the the background of these track days this year, seems really easy to get some prizes just for turning up and not crashing. In street class I'm apparently tied for first with the RENEW tresurer, I'm not sure how that happened or how it exactly gets caculated, but if just turning up and lapping consistantly is all it takes then anyone could win it, and hell it's free to enter and there a chance of getting useful free stuff. I'd love to hear more about how it works.

WTF is a TK-80??? Is this a GTR with the user TK-80?

Big thanks to the guys putting this on and the photographers for the day. I saw some video of the day being taken and that will probably be great as well, can't wait to see it.

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.

yeah that was me, good to meet you :P perhaps in different circumstances next time :D

the 300zx was not being driver by the owner, or Dan, and apparently had a braking issue (like others don't see how you could get it so wrong any other way, so it makes sense). Hell of an unlucky incident, if Eric and Reece had not have been there he would have absolutely drilled the wall....the accident took place 10m+ off the race track on the pit entry road.

Other than that, I hope everyone had a good day out. The renew boys took out the overall win with a 1.04.986 in an rotary powered evo 9 :P Very quick time for any tin top, well done.

Brad yes I do think the track is a little quicker, they have tidied up the top of the hill and rebuilt ripple strips at 3, 5, 11 which is all good :D

Yes, don't know how TK80 made it into the car field. My car is a 33 gtr.

I'm still running on re55's that I bought in 2008...so I'm very happy with a 1.064. Couldn't get the first corner right all day, so hopefully next time I work it out and with some new tyres i should easily get me into the 1.05's.

Thanks to the organisers...was a great day.

Yep we'll claim the winner. The rotarys did alright all things considered. After switching to better semis later in the day mal's FD dropped a few seconds off his PB, he's only going to get faster next time too. Word on the street is some of the big guns are showing up to the next event.

And most importantly my apex seals are still where they should be :laugh:

Duncan will have to drive his street registed GTR down there for the next one,,,my trailer will have an SAU "big gun" inside. We can't have Renew winning can we.

Hopefully when the next one comes around in may, my car will be good to go. Wanted to have a go at this one but only got the car fully sorted last week. Was good to see you out on the track and the other local cars on the track. Was good to catch up with some the local skyline owners as well.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
