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.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
