Troy,

Yeah, as Brendan said, there was one N/A civic on street tyres that was cutting some very nice lines out there, as well as Daniel in his White R33 GTR lapping under in the 1:08s...

Then there was a Race-setup MR2 that seemed to be driving in all the categories, all day :D 1:10s... Not too bad...

Personally I thought that Darren in his 200SX was doing very very well out there, except for his slight tendancy to cook it a little too much into and out of corners :(

great day :)

John will be back with a vengance to re-claim his case of beer I'm sure

Those MR2's are fantastic and if my car was still for sale until the weekend then it certainly wouldn't be now. I can't wait to get mine setup now :(

Check the times in the links I posted Roy.

 

I was impressed with the N/A Honda civic with suspension & brakes - was running very fast lap times.

Thanks Merli for those very clear pics on that mega camera of yours. I think I need some of that Just For Men hair colour stuff.

All I will say ROY lucky the zed stopped or it would have been in there.

Also Roy check the times of a burgundy GTS-T 1 min 12 and it looked relatively tame, very impressive.

I was looking at that... is it std turbo with good rubber/susp/driver???

For Oran Park, i think a certain Zed should be attacked with a holesaw, RIP non structural panels :P

1:20 with compliance tyres for me.  I tried so hard to wear them out but they still have heaps of tread.

I thought those MR2's seemed fast.

I'd say your probably not trying hard enough... come up to Oran Park on Sat and I'll demonstrate how to kill a few sets!

Yeah my car first had blown piping on the cooler then a leak in the exhaust manifold. Should be back on the track next week if I can get the time to fix it.

Was a real shit as I was just getting used to the new suspension and tyres too!

That red gtst was kinda insaine, I think modified cars of that level should be in the race car and gtr group.

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
