Hahaha don't stress.. I did it in an almost 20 year old stock R33... changed the brake pads/oil/filter, and chucked on a friends semi slicks. Nothing broke, all was good :thumbsup:

When you get there, just claim a garage (well, carport) and wait for announcements. They'll tell you when to head over for scrutineering etc :)

No problems following me up, I normally take the highway up there to save time and the back roads on the way back. (got into a bit of trouble with the HWP on the back roads on the way up a while ago) I leave early say 6.30 northside to get there at 7.30. (I live southside). Take 30 mins to prep car for the track by removing all excess gear, loggin on as a driver and greeting fellow drivers, 8am scruteering.

If your brakes are bad, get some new pads and/or the whole lot serviced. Brakes are very important. I use EBC yellow pads, which are great for the track but I do not rate them as a general street pad. Plenty of people to offer advice on pads choise in this forum.

If you want to swap over your oil closer to the date at my place feel free to drop me a PM. As I said I have some new 10-60 if you need it.

I also have a spare 4 pack of metal valve caps, $5 if you want (cost me that at supercheap)

Fire extinguisher will be needed and securly mounted in the car

Take some spare oil up with you

Take gear to change oil and wheels, including your spare wheel. Other tools never go astray. Nothing has ever been stolen from Wakefield in my 50+ times there.

If you have them, bring zip ties and metal hose clamps (cheap and always come in handy)

Take money for food and race license and fuel

Optional take a 20 litre fuel container to save you going into town for more fuel 3/4 of the way through the day

Electrical tape is also very handy as well as gaffa tape (electrical for stuff you want to remove later, gaffa for stuff you want to stay on)

you been there 50+ times? holy crap!

Ive shortened my s13 lcs by 20mm so no more -10deg camber and hopefully less under steer. it was ok for drifting but i nearly had to change grumbles name to mr plow last time i was at wakie:pirate:

how much castor do you run? mines about 7deg (again drifting) and i need to pull it back

i need all the girlys at the kink to flash the other drivers so they run off and i'll become champion of the world

yeah, but they are the JJR adjustable ones so the minimum is 20mm shorter. i can take them out 20mm longer than standard s13 arms if i need :thumbsup:

i need to do a few things yet, i probably wouldnt able to make teh 15th, got a link anyway?

This sounds tempting, the only issue is getting home if something goes wrong I guess....

How did you attach your extinguisher? I don't fancy drilling holes in the floor, but I guess I could fab up a bracket so it could be bolted to the front passenger seat rails.

^^ This

Even just a couple of alloy straps would work ok

Luckily I've never had an issue driving home, even with blown turbo's, worn out brakes etc. Worst case, hire a car and car trailer for a few hours.

Mark attached my extinguisher, quickly with bolts to the car before I could say no. I'm thinking of attaching another, so undecided exactly where and how I will mount it.

*******Nothing attached Zebra**********

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
