Yeah was a good day - Best time I got was 1:16 flat. Thought I might do better as the day went on but un-fortunately headache returned and called it a day at 3:00ish.

Commiserations to :

1) John for B-Manning his motor.

2) The guy I met with the nice GTiR (sorry can't remember your name) - Who also B-Manned his motor.

I can genuinely say - that I know how you feel :(

B-Man's motor survived yet another track day - Yay ! :D

Must do something about the standard brakes next - I feel ... Chris, Chris...hello :)

Post more pics all ! :)

Those Soarers were a bit how's your Father - hey ?? Nice looking and sounding, but theu didn't like going around corners.

There were some seriously quick MR2's there. (Sorry not your's Nick)

And two awsome GTRs that were doing 1.07's I think.

Was a good day.

Thanks to John and all the UAS crew.

Cheers,

Interesting day, gotta be the most retirements i've ever seen at a trackday for such a low-end track (hope my name isn't added to that list after tomorrow).

Good luck with the rebuild John :wassup:

What an awesome day, I had a blast sliding the MR2 around on arguably the most pathetic tyres around.

Good to see such a fantastic selection of cars hitting the track, just a damn shame about Johns car especially considering all the hard work that went into preparing the car.

Oh well, there is always next time hey John

Second session for it , I think.

The high tensile stud that holds one of the cam belt idler pulleys sheared straight off. So the valves stopped working but the bottom end kept going - ooops. John was very disappointed - But he can rebuild it !

I had major traction problems too. That's a much tighter course than Eastern Creek. Got a bit of 4 wheel drift action going on later in the day which was fun. (Duncan my witness :))

Have to say I don't think I was the only one who was confused by what was going on in the middle of the day. I sat there waiting for the turbo sixes and V8's to be called out and it didn't happen. It was a mixed session. The wind blew away the words from the loudspeakers a bit which didn't help.

Also the white 33 GTR that was with our group rather than the GTR group and a red 32 GTR at different times both took me under brakes into the hairpin before the straight which people were specifically told not to do. That's ****ing dangerous and the way that people get T-Boned you ****sticks.

Where was the flag for these people? Also what was with the control of people coming out of the pits. I saw one close one.

Yeah - I'm a bit with you on this one Adam. I vote for consistant class/categories next time.

I went out the first and second times and knew who was who when I was diving around. Then in 3rd session I saw one of those well set up MR2s in my rear vision mirror, trying to overtake my round the twisties. - I just let him go - But man, I didn't think they were in our class. And secondly I thought rules were rules - no overtaking round the twisties (unless the other car was going really really slow) - I thought that bit was a bit dangerous.

But all in all, I had some fun and the car survived so all good.

good to see everyone had fun

OK OK Zed went great for 8 laps flat out and did a 108.9 and at high revs snapped a stud that holds an idler pulley on the passengers ( load side of the motor ) and kissed valves and day over. We will now be drilling and tapping and using a high tensile 12mm stud to prevent this happening in the future. I did miss a gear and revved it off the clock as grabbed second instead of fourth.

I :Bang: suspect it would have been very close to the Gibson powered GTR who was timed at a second or so better, if motor was still going later in the day.

BLA BLA I here, anyway I congratulated Geoff from SSS Automotive who had a tough sounding GTR my zed does sound crap now with the larger exhaust housings, so will change to dual exhuast and quieten it also. I have told him I will give him a case of beer.

Did Merli or anyone get a pic of all the Skyline Guys pushing the zed on the trailer would have been a classic.

Times will be up on our site next day or so.

Next Track Day is Sunday September 12 at Oran. ZED will be BACK.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
