Haven't tried semi's (r-comp) yet.

595RSR 235 Front 255 Rear

A1RM pads

324mm front rotors

215rwkw

swaybars + greddy type s

camber bush

1.5 way KAAZ

I've done a 1.24.x there in October (?) last year. The only difference from the above with that time was PMu HC+ pads.

The setup now has cusco upper arm, 255 tires up front, 330mm ksport brakes and blue/yellow stuff pads. With an unknown diff (nismo/cusco 1.5).

So i would expect at least another 24 with the current setup. The aim would be consistent 24's.

Yeh well I've got some AO50's to drop on the car later in the year. I can tell you RSR are a good street spec tire and more consistent the KU36.

But they are still a good 2-4 seconds slower than AO50/RE55. Depending on the track.

Hi John,

I have looked at the Regs for the AROCA day and it says all competitors are now required to have their CAMS Officials Licence for at least the Flags Category? How do you obtain this?

Sorry I am new to the track day scene and hoping to have my car ready for this event and want to have all relevant Licence's. I have obtained my CAMS Level 2S.

Thanks in advance

Jamie

I have never had a problem and I don't have the flags license. L2S will be fine.

The flag guff is there from when no-one was turning up to be a flaggy for their days I imagine. What they do know is either employee flaggies

for the day or organise licensed flagies to assist and 'train' other AROCA club members to be flaggies.

Yeh well I've got some AO50's to drop on the car later in the year. I can tell you RSR are a good street spec tire and more consistent the KU36.

the AO50's will automatically bump you up to modified class :devil:

Here is some action from last years FFCC at Sandown.

Nice footage John.

What camera setup are you using and also what are you using to display the gps track layout and speed?

Very interested in setting up something similar..

Cheers

i sent my entry form in twice and asked for payment details but haven't got a reply yet, i just thought they were full. who did you speak to?

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
