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.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
