....damn that drive home was so hardcore. I hated every minute of it. My car was aquaplaning all over the place so I literally had to drive at 65km/hr all the way back to Sydney!!!

:P well done on the win

but :talktohand: about the drive home Mr 4wd sports car driver.....I was towing the datto home with a Ute in that....pretty average drive.....

LOL...we have a new leader.:P

Your car was very impressive the way it was getting out of the final corner and hauling down the straight. I was a little worried earlier in the day when you said you were only doing 1:27s:( , but not surprised to read 1:23s because your car looked visible quicker then Snowman and Scotsman

Circuit Name: Sandown

Lap time: 1:36.1 speed limited to 190kmh :edit 24-10-04: new lap time 1:31.6. Hoped to go faster but for a slow M3 and even slower TVR Griff spoiling me for 4 flying laps straight.

Troy, that'd be 1:31.6 for skylinegeoff :cheers:

Hey there,

sounds like you guys had a great day at Sandown.....

Only 5 weeks to the wedding for me and then after that I can start coming to met some of you guys at track days.....

Any GTS-T's running at Sandown????Times??

Do you guys run with NDSOC??

I saw a GTR and a GTS-T up at Winton with the WRX club when I was up there a month ago running in my standard MX-5. Was that any of you guys ???

James

Brutus - if the GTR was a white 33 with black rims it was Frank. He's a wrx club member and his car is well sorted.

Next year SAU Vic will be running with the WRX Club track days much like the MX5 club and the Liberty club has done previously.

I have run a few times this year with the NDSOC but I find their days a little slow and disorganised - probably because they keep having to pull cars out of the kitty litter or clean up the oil spill from some old datto every session. LOL

As for the GTS-T's running at Sandown last time - most were around the mid 1.30's with skylinegeoff's 1.31 being the best time - none of them were running on semi's however.

Off topic but I need the help from you guys in this thread who track your Skylines. I am getting 130 oil temps every time I go out on track, 5 hot laps and I am forced to come into pitt. Is this normal? Yes I have an HKS oil cooler. The thread I have started is here, thanks in advance for any help you can loan me!

First time out, its a pissy time, but then again nearly a stock R31 with 330,000km on the clock.. lol :rofl: Just here for reference I guess for anybody else with an old r31

Go Gordo. Were the other times up there by stealth 1:04 or 104 seconds?

Nizchick good effort but cheater tyres at the back is ...well..cheating ;)

So how is the track surface? Still bumpy as ever at the end of the pit straight? Just thinking ahead to coming home to Brisbane in Jun/Jul and getting new shocks.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
