big thanks to all the organisers and volunteers for getting this day up and running, had an absolute ball, the car went hard all day and shaved 2 seconds off my best time from last year

also thanks to Brian for taking me for a spin in the corvette, such a beast, and to Mark (Staz88) for sitting shotgun and teaching me how to spin out like a boss, ended up shaving off those 2 seconds straight up next timed session. Hopefully Luke got some footage from that passenger session, was quite fun

Cant beat the last session of the day though which we all seemed to treat as a fun session, jez blasting past me through the esses twice, and bighead overtaking me up the hill....... sideways....... was pissing myself laughing when i saw him coming in the mirror

hey mate the first lap in my video is the passenger session your talking about you can see the dust i think as i come out of the esses. If not ill review more footage and make sure i put it up lol

i had my camera and go pro, but in the end cbf putting them on the car

someone dropped the ball and didn't bring the club go pro's so no vid's :(

if i knew you were wanting to use one i woulda lent you mine

first time ever being on track @ smsp

had a great time was not to fond of last flag Marshall she was very flag happy in the passager sessions .

Happy with my time just can't wait to beat it

Highlight of the day was seeing FATZ in a passenger session split 2 cars down the middle on the straight right infront of all the marshals and i was near dave with his radio and i hear "WE NEED TO FLAG THE SESSION! THESE GUYS ARE GOING ALL OUT NOT 80%" i lost my shit hahahaha!

how many boys ran semi's? be keen to know how the street tyres ones fared

I was running 2x worn Dunlop on the front, 1x kumho and 1x maxxis on the rear.

They were getting slippery when the track was getting some heat into it.

Hence, I called it a day.

My tires were maaad lol. Not as much power as other cars but i was running on the front 1x potenza re001, 1x potenza re002. And the rears were parelli Pzero's All second hand my tire shop gave them to me $25 each 235/45/17. Very good and they have about 60% tread lol.

I had semis on the front and chalk on the rear, hence overly tail happy very dodgey on all runs, will roll and pump the rear guards so i can fit the semis next time and maybe even get an alignment done rather than using my eye to align the rears... Lol!

Apprentice wage sucks assssss!

Anyone got pictures of the flaming Nur?

KC, hope you're feeling better mate. Even though you lost your pride and joy, it could have been worse, you walked away from it.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
