Wow, what an amazing day - thanks to the organisers and can't wait for the next one.

I knocked off 20sec, 20sec, 10sec, 10 sec 7sec each run then had to back off because of oil temps, but i'm definitely hooked to track days now so much fun.

^^^ WOW!!!!

Great day...blew a wastegate hose on the way up and on the way home my exhaust has decided to mate on to my chassis and is making horrid noises..Im guessing that's what Roy was complaining about..

Not a single problem on the track though, go figure..

Took half a tank of E85 and 60lt in drums..did 16 or so laps and drove home on a full tank.. @ just over a 1$ a ltre I'd say that's pretty good value..

All in all was most fun I've had in ages :D

Weather was spot on.

Bugger about the oil down (2 hour delay) and the crash at the end.

Heaps of new faces. Sorry to those we couldnt get driver trainers for, there were just so many of u!

Had a great time, caught up with a bunch of you. Saw some cars and didnt talk to everyone, just so much going on!

The next event it during WTAC weekend, so i will see u again at WINTON.

Good thing i took the car off the track when I did. was pretty nasty driving home. not sure if clutch or synchros. still had lots of fun and probably spent more time on the road than the Chaser's Evo...\

crash? who? what time?

weather was great

disclaimer going up now.

results won;t be up for a week.

I'm out fo town for a few days so won;t get a chance till next weekend.

Rexy wagon came off into the wall at turn 12 right at the end of the day.

but i'm definitely hooked to track days now so much fun.

Your life is no longer your own haha

Was a final test day for them. Now they're going to make that mess of a front bar into dry carbon. They had a broken windscreen too. Random.

I cracked one years ago from sandown ripple strips haha

What happened to your car today mate?? Your car looked and sounded awesome, love your work on the front splitter.

what an awesome track, this was my first time at PI so I am happy with my times and still so much more left in it, need more balls.

thanks to the organisers, officials and photographers. also thanks to John for showing me around in my first session :thumbsup: Does anyone know when the next PI day is? I have found PIARC and MSCA events in Sept so I think I might aim for one of those events.

Only managed to get one session in before the water return line from the turbo decided to $hit itself. BOOooo!

Hoping the engine is OK... Drove back though with a replacement part brought down by a friend. No water usage at the moment (not yet!!!)

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
