Excuse the French, but holy shit one of the best f**king days of my life, first couple of laps were a bit terrible, then tried to go faster and braked too late for a couple of laps, then felt like it smoothed out toward the end :)

Perfect day for it, and a really good turnout. Definitely should do it again :)

f**king EPIC!!!11!!

I'm hell up for a working bee BBQ on anyones car. I need to learn a heap more about this. But as Jack said earlier on monthly is probably a bit too much for my budget, keen to go along to watch if others are going though.

Pity you couldn't make it mate, really good day :)

Missed a good track day Toff.... sun was out, air temps were down and there was only half a dozen cars running so everyone had heaps of time on the track.

Good day and it was good to put names to 'screen names'

i have a super soft pedal almost to the floor soft & no rear brakes bled them numerous times but still nothing theres no pressure getting to them.

master cylinder fail?

all in all, i had an awesome day! 1st laps out was shit due to mass missfire in high rpm range.. lucky had some new plugs thanks to the awesome jamie , swapped them over.. and it appears he took a photo lol.. turns out 5 plugs were .7 gap.. 1 was 1.1..... lol... car ran beautifully next few runs until i took brodie out, several laps, new pb.. car decided it needed to get super hot (115) and steam itself up in the pits lol.. all in all ive decided.. i need a new diff.. gearbox.. and a bunch of niggly issues fixed before next outing. good to meet people again!

also... jacks car... an animal... i swear he was trying to show off since i was in the car.. with all those spins :-P

not noticable in daily driving mate, if it's soft all the way to the floor nearly , i'd be checking all of your brake lines/calipers for leaks or signs of tampering :) , does it loose fluid at all?

the booster is working fine? you probably can't tell but if that's worn/damaged it can cause similar issues

It was Tim who had a bit of a spin a little in front of me on the hill, brakes locked up and did a little spin :) basically completely pulled up before the tyre wall though, damage was a slightly bent exhaust and a few scratches on the rear left panel :)

My entire family turned up to show support at the exact point this photo was taken and thought I had trashed my car :P

    • @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.
    • Hi Sydney kid   do you still selling spring and blistein shocks for Nissan 260rs? Air any suspension upgrades? Please advice     yudy
    • Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.
    • @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.
    • @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
