Has anyone been to this raceway? 

Went yesterday in my stock 32 and had a blast. Wanted to see if anyone remembers their PB lap times!

I was there yesterday too in the R34 coupe that kept breaking down!

 

i only managed a 54.2, in the first session the cabin filled with smoke, thought it was a burnt plastic pipe, put some high temp tape on, missed the second session, third session only did one lap and the intercooler pipe came loose (forgot to tighten it when I out the car back together) then 4th session only got 3 laps before smoke again. 
 

have since learnt I was boiling the power steering fluid!!!

Oh bugger, was that the white one, that was parked near the fence?

 

I was in the white 32 gtr, bog stock . I only managed a 1.005. Really wanted to crack that 1 min mark. This is the first time i've been to a track and it was amazing! I do get motion sickness but, so i went out every 2nd session.

 

54.2 sounds like a damn good time! I think the red GTR in my group that was flying did a 52.

Yep parked near the fence where the paintball was. 
 

first time I went to Luddenham and what a cracker of a track!
 

I really want to go back and see what the car can do. I never got into a rhythm on Saturday, but I absolutely loved the layout!

i remember your car, looked mint! I really wanted a R32 but they are so rare now

I thought it was a good layout too, being a stocker, it helped me alot, not much straight :P

My small group is trying to organise a private day soon, if you are interested, i'm sure there will be space :)

Im heading there September 26th, but i need to install my power steering cooler before then. only managed 2 fast laps before it completely overheated and spilt on the exhaust. absolute pain in the a$$

Use synthetic fluid when you re-fill. Its got a higher boiling/flash point.

Just got some new track tyres so I want to try luddenham.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
