Well had a great day, in the last session of the south circuit on the last lap she sprung a small coolant leak in the bypass cooling hose under manifold.

Great day good instructors best fun ive had with pants on. My first proper race track experience.

if you got your times recorded on the texi would love to see the results.

My quickest was a 32.23sec in the GTSt :) only got 4 runs.

awesome day, motorkhana was alot of fun, my quickest was 32.04, circuit was very good, had bit of brake fade on the hairpin and got in before the rain started

ran the car with stock actuator boost as a pre-caution in case i got carried away 1st time on track

both instructors were very good, heaps of information and pointers

+1

Had a great day - fun/non serious atmosphere, loads of variety of cars. Very nice BB BNR34 GTR in the last session.

Besides the "speed limit" I did manage to get up to a sneaky 140km/h down the back bit. Instructor was great - very informative and calm. Instilled a good level of confidence and level headedness. Motor held up fine - bloody over engineered the cooling system so the thermos didn't even switch on. Brake pads were the first thing to start to go, but only had a long pedal a couple of times over the sessions. Pity the traffic was so heavy. Would have liked to have at least one good timed session, but was stuck behind quite a bit of traffic.

Motorkhana times- I did 4 runs.

RWD: first lap - 33.82 then 31.82

Put the fuse back in so AWD

30.38 and best time of 29.67 before I pulled aside.

Got a bit of a round a of applause from the timing crew, so I don't think many were below 30 secs. Hope they put the times up, but don't think they were officially recorded. Only other sub 30 sec time I heard was an Audi quattro wagon. Wagon FTW!

All in all a great day!

good job, yah on my track runs my instructor said "that Sti infront isnt sticking to 100km/h, just go as fast as you can' so i managed about 135 up that main straight before the esses. was loads of fun, got to pass 3 cars in my 2 sessions.

The best pass was on a vt SS vommadore, all over him through the corners but struggled a little to keep up on staights but was waved through and left him behind on the next few laps. No brake fade the Bendix held up well. Just the slight issue of coolant but got her home no overheating at all. good old Skylines ;)

Yeah it was good fun. Rained during our track session so that made it pretty wild even with 4wd... Civic in front of me had a wild lift off oversteer spin after the sweeper down to the old turn 9; ended up off the track to the inside and not far off the wall.

Only got 4 runs on the motorkhana too and managed a 28.8 (got video of that run so I might post it up later - using the horn is key)

I did a 46 on my second last run !! haha

Was stuck on the spot and couldn't even get past the first cone, I said to the guy next to me this place is suddenly very slippery while I did like 5 donuts, clutched in and motor was still revving :/, throttle linkage must have gotten caught when I clutch kicked.

He said you better stop before we get in trouble, hahah he loved it

I am disappoint!

Blew a cooler hose off on the last session of the motorkhana and didn't realise till i went onto the track for the first session...so had to crawl around and make my way back into the pits to fix it. Coach was great though, (Bob) even helped me fix it. Went out again for the second sesh and lasted almost one lap before it popped again!

Fixed it once more and headed home...have now fixed the problem hose. Guess i should have done some more testing with the new cooler setup before hitting the track.

My quickest khana lap was 31.02. Pretty happy with that.

Gah! Beaten by a R34 GTR! Suppose thats ok ;)

Yeah, we were watching the last track session, and looked very slippery. Michael, I think your car is set up for drift! Had to creep round the turn near the pits to get around it!

edit- I reckon I could do that time if I had a handbrake. Have a stupid footbrake is useless, and I suffered massively for it.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
