lol the security guard just said to me "You're here for the skyline track day?" and I said "Yep"

.... I guess I was driving a skyline though...

Thanks for putting on a great day yesterday, it was the perfect environment my first time on the track, the driver trainers were very encouraging and gave me some valuable pointers. I had a blast and cant wait to have a go at the Island next weekend :)

Glad to see you getting out there and enjoying yourself, which car were you in?

It was a really well run day, good work everyone :D

Saw a drone hovering over the track at dandenong CNR late in the day. Would be cool to see that footage. Anyone know who?

Man I hate the term drone being used for these f**king toys.. we can thank the mass media for that bullshit. Would be some cool footage, but also dangerous if the hobby quadcopter lost power and landed on the track or on a car distracting the driver under heaving braking.

Not as distracting as an animal, or another car...

Fun day taking out passengers. No one has done any video or pics so I'll start...

Would be my PB, if it was on Natsoft that is, so doesn't count/never happened!

Got some good tips in an earlier session but I was a bit over zealous with the speed through the kink, I'd like to say it was a skilful save but pretty sure it was more luck.

Thought I had some decent video following HMAS White Whale aka the Stagea but GoPro fail! Fark it was a pisser to watch it bounce over the ripple strips, poor suspension hehe. That thing clearly wasn't designed to change direction in a hurry at turn 2 & 3 but top work by the ships captain!

Passenger laps so close to home were a blast.

New PB on AD08R's at Sandown, will have to wait for a natsoft day to confirm time. But I want a low 1.19 out of this before I'm happy.

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
