Good day all! Very well run and the weather held out just nicely. Pity about my little incident at the end, which has left me with a fractured wrist but what can you do. Glad to hear the driver of the green WRX is A-OK.

Thanks for organising the garage Martin, much appreciated mate :cheers:

Ouch....sorry to read that Dane. Hopefully nothing too serious is wrong with the car and you are back out in no time.

Just make sure you get the missus to do all the work and that wrist will heal in no time ;):P

Hope you and the car are on Dane! Would love to see the video of what happened (if you're comfortable with John posting it online)

Congrats to all who did PB's, the conditions were great for quick times. Luke deserves a special mention with a 1:20.46 screamer! Dipping in to the 1:20's is awesome.

Yeah another great track day!

Good to meet some more of you and catchup with a few people from previous days. That was my 3rd track day and definately hooked.

4 x R34 GTRs was great to see.

thanks to the WRX club for putting it on.

Russ: Me either mate! Thought it was jarred/sprained but got progressively worse and now I'm in a cast... balls!

John: Nice vid mate! Basically I was fiddling with my camera between 1 & 2, lost a bit of concentration, went in too hot on tyres that weren't up to full temp and you can see the result. Stupid mistake by me, but a lesson learned. Luckily the car is fine, just a bit of cosmetic damage to the lip, front dive plane, light cover and rear guard but it's getting fixed up now. :thumbsup:

Ant: I'm trying mate, with little success... :teehee:

Thanks for the well wishes guys!

Sorry to hear about the broken wrist, ouch and glad to hear wasn't major car damage so both are on the mend.

Thanks to Russ, Martin, John for your advice, will post findings in the brakes thread but I talked to GSL RallySport who mentioned A1RMs but if I don’t mind spending more, they reckon I should try Project mu’s Club Racer pads for longer track pad life and do work from cold. I’ll have them in for the SAU nationals. Note I had no issues with repeating the same setup but as I’m starting out, seems sensible to test a few setups.

club racers are working really well in my car now. 7 track days and 1 deca and about half worn although the G4 does have a massive pad surface are. I'm impressed. :)

As far as pads are concerned I use Project Mu HC+'s in the STi, and have in several cars. Great pad, work well from cold and last the distance. Would highly recommend them mate.

How is the bite on them?

I wasnt a fan of the Ferrodo DS3000

So thinking either Pagid RS29, or perhaps another pad.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
