Last maccas before you leave Canberra heading towards Sydney

thanks, I cant go, dad wont go in my car until it proves it self ( it was written off and I fixed it... must no believe in my skills )

have a good time guys! ill try and convince mum, very unlikely tho :(

So.....

Boiled my brake fluid, shoulda changed that before i went.

Lost half of my engine oil, dunno where it went, it happened during laps. Should have taken more spare oil.

Got some more from town, and noticed my diff was extra noisy, left shaft clunks badly, the one that Toll Ipec smashed and never paid for (fck you Toll Ipec). Back at the track, i looked and saw diff oil all over the diff. Front seal leaking.

Time to call it a day before i break something.

Rob said; roughly 1:22, for one of my laps.

Next time ill be better prepared.

And ill try those Remsa pads too, they might not smoke like my Bendix pads.

Ps: the Skywagon is a good support vehicle. thanks again Rob.

What a mad day! Where to begin... Thanks to Mik for organising it. Shame your car started having issues :( Was great having Rob along aswell. As I said before, I think it's more enjoyable with a mate there. The driving was so great, awesome value for money. Pb according to racechrono was 1:17 flat, though I only used racechrono for one session. Needless to say I'll definitely be doing that again! :woot:

nice work! Shame I couldn't come. What tire were you running?

Could be a suspension thing. Coilovers on the rear? Possibly too stiff?

Theres heaps of grip on the track, unless you go into a corner too hot you have to be trying to get sideways for it to get out of control. For me anyway, im still running fairly stock :)

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
