Ask any racer, any real racer. It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile; winning's winning

I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I'm free.

Or file for divorce?

Hahaha so it's going well I take it? Did you replace the wall etc? I only saw the demolition updates....

Yeah wall is fitted but still need to finish filling the gaps.

Melisa finally choose a colour so I can get paint and just rearranged all the tables and boxes of stuff in the back lounge room so we now have room to move

Northeners!!

For those of you who can make it on the 17th... we're about to make the date official so if you all get together and cruise to Sydney, I'd like to make the Main meeting point @ P6 in Homebush Bay at around 8:30... from there we'll make our way to the venue for shits and giggles... and car talk... and food... u get the idea

Here's the original thread

Benji aka Mr Wakefield Warrior Goes to Wakefield for the first time SUMMARY

Benji Lap Time: 1:19

-Great day.

-Third or fourth session I ran a 1:19 seconds with the stock standard S15 (my dad timed me) and that was with a FULL TANK OF PETTY which weighed me down a bit I think. Luckily I left the boot carpet, plywood board and spare tire out of the car...also removed the front floor mats. After that, didn't really get timed.

-I felt I was improving throughout the day whilst the car began deteriorating a little due to the brakes.

-Met a bunch of cool people during the day.

-Got some good onboard footage of me at Wakefield.

- I had about 9 sessions, after the 9th session I had I started hearing a weird metallic noise....and basically my rear brake pads were completely decimated and metal on metal. I was wondering why on my last session I wasn't entering corners with the same precision.

-On the way home, Dad was driving with the now metallic rear brakes....and anyway, detoured for fuel near liverpool, and then GPS took us this backway instead of the m7 where we must of got every red light. There was a fair few people beeping their horn etc, whilst my dad slowed down using gear changing (like ffs, the lights red why does anyone car how fast you get to the traffic light lol).

-Managed to get home okay though, rear rotors are shot to pieces though... soooo Slotted rotors, new hardware kits, and brake pads is on the menu ;)

SLIGHT MISHAPS

-Pushed it a bit too hard in the 7th session and floated off the track on the right hand corner before the hairpin, I made the mistake of easing off the throttle when I thought I was going to exit too wide and floated into the grassy patch (stopped pretty easily with no damage to the car).

LOLS

-Got a little bit sideways around one of the left hand corners....usually I power out of the corner with 3rd....but felt like a bit of fun so downshifted into second (checked my mirrors and no traffic) and then planted the throttle and initiated a power over drift for approximately one second, before quickly correcting it before it got to out of hand.

Good to see you finally got to the track Benji..... Now shutup again :P

    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
    • thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
