CAMS licence just turned up so we are going to head down... weather not looking great but I have to get out there.

Do you want to share a garage paul. Seems it's certain to rain at some stage through the day..

If you, me and Billywhiz (john) get a garage it's only $50 each.

My number is 0421332860. I'm in the black/silver/grey (lol) R32 with a big wing.

What car are you in?

Toughen up Princess! :) PI is the best track in Vic in the wet to drive on. LOTS of room for catching slides.

Plus - what are you going to do if its wet and windy @ Superlap?

Lol just saw your post.

Well I'm screwed if I can't get temp into tyres. Still deciding on mediums or softs for Superlap.Really wanting to test that and test the dynamics of the car at high speeds. Mainly turn 1. Being wet might make that hard. Anyway I'm definitely going now. Weather will be same as today or better. Might get a dry run.

Yep done! Will give you a yell in the morning once we pull in.

I am in Snowy's old (now mine :devil: ) white R34, z-tune kit.

Weather turned out good.

Managed a 48.9 until problems put an end to my day.

I had 2 dramas today. Seems that there is a exhaust gasket leak and we think a welsh plug decided to exit the front of the head, just behind cam gears. Coolant everywhere and all over the windscreen and tyres. I was going about 180kph at the time coming in to lukey heights.

Good thing is that this stuff has happened now and not at sydney.

Thanks Campbell for giving me a hand today and REON for coming down.

Nice to meet you Paul. You seemed quite at home in the car :)

John, did you break the 2 min mark?

Excellent day, didn’t hit my target, but a big improvement from my prior trip. Made big improvements with lines etc so very happy. Got the 4x15mins sessions plus a session with instructor so the fuel tank was vapours by the time I got to the servo.

Russell, shame about your woes cutting the day short, hope it works out, seems exhaust leaks were the go, mine started impersonating a tractor on the way home – to be investigated, food, drink n settling in to F1 Qual & Le Tour.

Nice meeting you too Russ, and big thanks to you and Campbell for helping me out with tire pressures and gear.

Excellent day here too, great intro to track work.

Started off pretty slowly to get a feel for the car, by the third session was blasting around passing everything.

Fourth session I really started to make some ground and finished with a 2:02 including a little traffic. Still plenty of time to be made up but in due course.

Pretty happy with that for a first outing. Also seeing I didn't sleep Friday night can't have helped my cause.. accomodation a must next time.

Would have posted a vid but the plug for the front facing cam popped out in the first session and I didn't check it all day >_<

    • I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.
    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
    • Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
