Do you mean you take your front splitter off for trackdays? I just have a piece of webbing tied to the tow hook and out through the vent just incase.

r u driving down in the morning? given we live in the same suburb maybe meet at the BP and head down.

hey joe, yeah i need to see this webbing youve done and steal that idea. for the time being though i have to take it off. i somehow hit the front lip going around one of the corners at sandown. dunno how but ive cracked it. ive become quite a pro at taking the splitter off but i'd rather not.

which bp do you want to meet up at?

First time out at Phillip island had a great time

Got a 2.08.4 best lap for the day

Thanks to anyone who helped me with my alarm issue had to listen to it all the way home

I just removed it so don't need to put up with it anymore.

Looking forward to the next round of Motorsport.

yes good day at the island. great to catchup with all the SAU lads as usual.

new surface is super smooth and quite a few pb's today I think!

overheard a conversation from the winkleporker porsche garage "theres a datsun doing 44's!" hilarious!

Some Datto though. BTW did a bit of 911 munching myself, my wife informed me that it would probably have been a geriatric driving - nice!

Thanks goes out to the crews that make these events happen, special mention to Nick Luxton who fixed my suspension at the start of day, which meant I got to enjoy one hell of a day.

Too funny dude!

Another first timer at PI, farken loved it. Best time was a 1:59.6762. Have never heard my tyres squeal so much, love to get back out there with some decent rubber!

Have to thank the bloke who came out with me first session to guide me around the track and gimme some pointers. I'm f**king rubbish with remembering names but he said he had a couple fords (F6 typhoon and Capri's) and had taken a charger around the track? Either way, was really helpful and much appreciated.

What a day!!

Thanks to the WRX guys and gals for putting on another great event. Plenty of track time for anyone who wanted it :-)

I think everyones tyres were squealling......seemed to be the new surface as my tyres are usually silent.

Good times with Richo and my bro Chris thrashing around in close company!!

Painting your car pink. Photo's aplenty of yours, but only a couple of me! lol, just another silver r33 with black lip and carbon wing.

Well the bearings in my front turbo that had done all of 25kms decided to let go again - session 1, lap 1, turn 1!

The jealousy levels were very high. Track was looking beautiful and the weather conditions pretty much spot on.

Looked like another strong showing by the SAU crowd...great work!

Some awesome times being set by all....great work Richo and Sinisha :woot:

Sinisha got done for sound, didn't get many laps at all.

The porsche guys were putting soft drink cans on their exhausts and diverting the sound away.

Paul, wtf! That is massively sad :mad:

Really.

Yeah, not sure what was going on. Think I need to play around more with tyre pressures. I was getting some neutral 4 wheel drift going into the corners, but wasn't game enough to push harder, because it was squealing at all four. Just wouldn't corner for some reason.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
