I don't understand why Mat didn't just put decent pads on the rear to begin with!? saves the trouble of changing them when they get cooked. Bendix Ultimates are rubbish pads for the track.

Rear brakes were thought to be ok. Mustn't have been checked well haha.

Ultimates will be fine for rears though.

First day on a track and i got 1m50sec and i fried my clutch! I guess thats what you get when you play with stock parts... :(

At least it was at the end of the day closedeyes.gif

That's enough drifting blah blah blah blah blah....

cough

Was a good day first time I have taken the GTR out, did a 1:48.1 probably could of done a bit better but needed the car for the next day at Heathcote drags and its my daily to and from work so couldn't afford any issues, seemed to be about 1 second quicker each session from the 1:53 I did on the practice laps.

Overall awesome day :D any pics of the white 33 GTR? :domokun:

Nice to meet a few new people as well good crowd of peeps.

Awesome day!!!!

Matt we did swap our dorians (major pain in the arse) and Johnny did have times to his name throughout the day. Ill go as far to say that the timing system for the day was shithouse. One of my sessions had 3 people listed and one time each...shafted. Others missed out on times for their sessions as well. People in the timing room had no idea.

The rear pads were ~90% but were unknown type; I didnt put them in. Must have been cheap shit and they just disintegrated with the amount of heat we were pumping into them. Its all good anyway we popped in a new set and away we went.

Im happy with the results and happier the car stood up to 2x abuse on its first outing with its best being a 1:40.3 on the KU's. In some sessions the car wasnt even turned off between driver changes!!

It has an ASI rad as well as a thin B&M oil cooler, coolant max was 92 while racing and oil max 120.

LOL @ being told off for 'drifting' twice! Those old blokes obviously havent driven a high powered RWD car. Must have been the tank slappers I had going out of pre grid that annoyed them a bit.

I enjoyed my day and was happy to get in to the 1:45s but what about not being able to finish your last lap, annoying.

4/5 through my best lap to get the red lights indicating session end, how f....., reckon I had a 1:35 in the bag :D

Yeah that's a mistake. Also can't find Johnny Rachelle in the overall results...?

I'm guessing they didn't put him in a class. He is there for individual sessions http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?09/04/2011.WIN

Looks like he got a 1.40.4 http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?09/04/2011.WIN.S22 pretty good for 235 KU36

Yeah thats what I thought too! Good times!

WOW! What a fantastic day.

My 1st track day & I'm hooked.

Good to meet some members - John & Chris.

Big shout out to Arron at ImportMonster for the Volk Challenge 18's & RE55's on Friday afternoon.

Certainly wouldn't have got a 1:39 without them. :banana:

The only question is can I get an oil cooler on(read:$$$)before DECA?

Also, apologies to the bloke in one of the Silver R33's.

I got a bit too keen under brakes into Turn 1, then missed 3rd @ the apex.

Sorry & I would have tooted my horn too. :spank:

BTW anyone get fuel from Caltex in Benella?

I had slight detonation above 8Krpm.

Only happened after I put in the 20 lt jerry can of Caltex in the afternoon.

Yeh we got a jerry from there, no det but the 32 is very conservative on IGN timing for the track.

Anyone got 33 LCAs for sale? I want to get some in before May 1st BP Midland Sprints :)

I was thinking about doing the midland sprints this year too :) Last time i did one was back in 2007, good fun!

+1. Shotgun John's :P

I may have two sets, just have to check the RHS from the last car. Visually it looks fine.

Matt when does the car go in for the turbo install? Get that ATR knobler out of there.

Leigh I have some video of your car, but waiting to give it to Laith to work his magic.

Watch out here http://www.stevenhendyphotography.com.au/Site/Events/Events.html for photos though, as he was there on the day.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
