How much fun I had:

Words cannot describe how much fun I had. I was very very excited leading upto it and it by far exceeded all my expectations.

What I learned:

1. HOW TO TAKE TURN 1!!! - That was a very big off but I am glad that I got them all out of my system @ the first trackday so now I know what not to do. I'm disappointed that I did it so close to Steve Bullin but it was great that Daz, Carlo and Steve were all very supportive of me :P

2. WINDOWS UP!!!!! - everyone saw my interior

3. Duncan is a champion!!! (more than he was before :P) without him I wouldn't have learned as much as I did

What I need to work on:

Braking & heel-toeing. Although by the end of the day I was using the ABS less, I was using it alot coming into the horseshoe and turn 10. I was also compression locking into 2nd alot too..

Better tyres and suspension setup will fix this. You will probably find that your front end is too stiff or too low.

Its funny, my experience was almost identical Tosh. Turn 1 looks ominous and seeing the speeds that some of the GTR's approach it made me somewhat nervous but after a couple of laps you get the feel for it and begin improve your line/speed.

1 big off that I had was unfortunately also with the window down and my interior was caked in brown dust.

I would have liked to have had duncan passengering for a few laps but the car wasnt behaving well at all so I called it a day.

Looking forward to the next one :(

hahaha what is it about turn 1 and MR2s spinning :(

actually I did a few laps in tush's MR2 and I was very impressed, its got great turn in, and traction out of corners. - you do have to be careful under brakes but it was certainly not the super spin-ey car that some people claim.

Shame that Ben kept chopping us on the straight tho :)

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
