Hey all !

Yesterday was the Rexnet forum's track day, which I tagged along to enjoy the beauty that is racing around Wakefield park. Great day all in all.. A couple of casualties:

A 180sx with an electrical fire under the dash

EVO6 with a siezed engine

1 blown turbo

Other than that a fairly good day.. Everybody had a great time and us Skylines showed the Rex's a thing or two about real racing with rear wheel drive.. A lot of good drifting and fast times. Hat off to Frankie's R34 GTT which proved to be the real monster of the track. Great sound from that exhaust!!!

Here are some pictures from the day... Most are of my R33 at stages.. Note the picture with a dirt cloud up the top of the screen, and my car around the bottom corner - caused by one very wide drift - oops :D

hey giles! good to meet you down there, i didnt know you were on sau? i thought you were a work mate of damo's?

anyways, yeah top day, as per usual!!!

next trackday for the rexnet guys will be the 27th of august...carlo has a trackday on the 17th and there is something going on on the 16th too...i think a UAS day.

thanks to 2 people from sau! andrew (for the photos especially) and duncan for their unrequited love and support :P i even managed to get some private driving tuition from the master himself and i experienced, in my own car, some of duncan's driving talent!!! :headspin: with smoothness comes quicker laptimes!

benm, i think i dropped into the 12's, but thats hoping.... ;)

Actually I reckon that car of urs is a very nice steer :P you've gotta expect a 1400kg car to roll a bit no matter how much spring or roll bar you have.

You were having a good drive out there too, its a shame there was so much traffic in some of the sessions, I didn't actually get a time on a lap where you weren't held up so I'm not sure what times....damn quick tho....

yeah rightio. fat bastard the car is, even with my weight in the driver seat its rollin that much! hahaha what a bus! :P

surprisingly it only really got busy when the track was open to all categories in the afternoon? aside from that, i thought it was perfect? only 7 to 8 cars on for each session...

yeah of course I am on here - I'm a mate of damo's and the guys from rexnet, but do remember - I drive a skyline and have some good taste of forum's, hence why this is my main place to be ;)

nah, clutch is still f***ked but I ran low boost on the day so not to stress it out too much.. what an awesome day...

merli - awesome pictures man... started off by saying that you didn't think they were great, but they turned out fantastic. i asked if you would do my wedding day, but i don't think my future bride would be happy with getting married in a drifting skyline down Wakefield's straight... :P

and franks - awesome car - i think you heard me say it about 17 thousand times; but the sound of it at full throttle.... wow! if i were a chick, i'd root ya..

definitely have some good idea's of things I would like to do with the car after seeing some work that the other boys in skylines have done to their to get the type of performance... unreal show boys!!!!

Giles..

wow, what a compliment! :D but im not into chicks who dig my ride only ;)

heres some movies from a mates incar video mount. sorry about the exposure but the camera was obviously setup abit incorrectly. i've ripped them to wmv9 so you should be able to set the video brightness and contrast down a little.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
