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

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!!!)

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • 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
