Yeah turn 2 is more open then it looks, so the kink (turn 1) is flat in a lot of cars...maybe not in the quicker, poor handling ones ;)

Actually, a lot of the time to be made up at wakefield is the whole 3/4/5/6 complex at the top of the hill, a great spot to practice your left foot braking.

With turn 8, you just take the kamakazie line in, hit the first part of the turn while still braking hard, then turn in and wind the lock back off while hitting the second apex really late. Then flat thru 9 (mostly, although I've ended up in the dirt at 120 a couple of times from turning in too late.

Turn 10, turn in *really* late, go over the jump...and start another lap

easy :(

except in the wet on semi slicks :( right roy?

2nd best track in NSW after Oran Park GP circuit :D

LOL... i was watching some footage of that day about 3 weeks ago with a friend, 6 spins in one day :headspin:

I would have thought the road rubber i had would have been better then semis in the wet, you and that yellow ute lapped me every 5-6 laps...LOL, so whats that 10-12 seconds a lap quicker then me :kick:

I want to come back to NSW in May to do a few track days before i sell the old girl and head OS, be interesting to see if i can go a bit quicker, or whether the extra power just brings undone:(

It will be an honour system as proving lap times is rather difficult, so i ask that you are honest. As a minimum laps should be hand timed by a spectator or third party. And please bear in mind that others may be spending considerable amounts of money on the content of the posts :)

i was at wakefield today driving one of those v8 auscar things they have there......which was brilliant then i was soo excited i put the skyline on the track toooo......i'm no more a track virgin :)

farken awesome, will be back there real soon.

just thought i'd share my excitement. :)

I love the torque in the V8's. Fantastic!!!

i wasnt too confident so i wasnt pushing too hard, but they dont really limit you, you have a pace car infront of you and basically you gotta catch him and push him to go faster. I found them to be pretty cool at wakefield.

My car isnt on song yet, but wasnt too bad could only rev to 5900 because of injectors maxing out above that. But next time it wont be like that :D

Also had my girlfriend in the passanger seat, that was fun tooo!

Hey Roy who's this GTR Jason dood faster than my slot car??? Give me a dog box and will be a lot closer if not beat but pretty impressive times. Does he get out to the track much as I have not seen it? What colour is this beast or pics or website??

I got no idea, i suppose his name is Jason:)

All i know is that its an R32 with HKS 2540s etc. See if we can get him to Wakefield/UAS day. He apparantly has just opened a workshop out past Liverpool...showdown:)

Providing i make it thru this weekend at Winton with no problems ill be paying for the UAS Wakefield day in May:)

Im hoping to pull 3 secons out of my best lap time now that i have 80rwkws more and semi slicks...ill be stoked with a 1:10, ill be buying the beer if i crack into the 1:09s:)

hahah you sure don't have to be competitive to be at the UAS day, after all they let Zs out on the track there :)

And I understand Jason will be joining you for your track day John, unfortunately Mark and I will be down at Targa that week.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
