OK Team,

So, I am starting this thread to get some of you winners a good excuse to get out for a drive at ol' Wakie, and to wrap up our latest adventure.

Happy to see Chris (dontyellplox) Jeremy (Rosie) and the fifth gear boys ( Alisdair, Thomas and Daniel)

So a couple of Pics:

Anyhoo, come out. It's not just about racing, but it's a great social day.

Great to see you Madmen!

Next trackday that I'm booked for is November. A private day with DontyellChris. I want to see all you peeps there! Rosie will be there fo sho!

Sorry about the rattles. It was my back teeth.

Great day indeed! Now I have a decent list of things to do to make the car quicker.. And a leaking exhaust manifold! :woot:

Good stuff James and Jez!

It was a great day :) big learning curve ! I was for sure losing a good 2-3 seconds on each corner, so I gotta work on that entry and exit speed. Will for sure come along to the next one. My mate who missed this one is spewing and will deffo be coming along to the next :)

what was best time?

Guys also keep an eye out for track days run by SAU NSW.

I know the latest focus has been on running at SMSP but the benefits of those days include sessions where we can place experienced drivers in the car with you to help improve laptimes.

They're pretty fun days. I believe it's sold out but we have an interclub day with RTDC on Sunday the 18th Oct which would be well worth checking out if anyone is in Syd for WTAC anyway.

what was best time?

I didn't prepare myself to record lap times haha :( But I dare say I was in the maybe 1:20's or 1:30's. I was pretty slow around the corners haha

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
