Jetwreck Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) Thanks Duncan, Been here a while though....just in the Stagea area hiding...lol....finding out about the world of the M35 Stagea....big learning curve!!! Love to bring the R31 out to a track day but to expensive.....we only really use it for racing and maybe a test day every now and again to bed in new bit's or test/sort out something...if the timing's right though we might be able to make one of your track days and use it as a bit of a test session. Would bring the M35 ARX but it might end up on the roof....bloody fat cow it is....and the brakes are next to useless...lol.

hrd-hr30 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 1.20 wakefield absolutely pouring rain and first time I can vouch for that - it was pouring rain and cold on Saturday. I got a 1:16.4, but I'm not telling you what I was driving for fear of ridicule on this forum! My Datto track car is in pieces thanks to a spark plug 'picking up' the thread when I tried to remove it... of all the stupid little things that can go wrong prepping a car for a track day! So I took my road car down there instead. I think I could have gone a little quicker in the later session if it wasn't for the bloke in a shitbox proton rally car cutting half the corners and dragging heaps of mud onto the track just after all those apexes...

hrd-hr30 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) sorry Chris, didn't even realise at the time that anyone I'd know was there, apart from Marty. I should have, I saw your username on that other forum, but it just didn't click. I think after the 1180km drive on Friday my brain wasn't really operating all that well on Saturday. And apart from the stopage for the crashed Evo when I went back into town, it was all happening pretty fast out there. there was someone else from SAU out there, who I was talking to for a while but I wouldn't have a clue what his username is. He's been thinking about buying one too, but was worried about how they handle until he saw mine out there on Saturday...

Stig O'Tracy Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 SAU Nickname: Stig O'Tracy Car Make and Model: 93 R32 GTR Circuit Name: Wakefield Lap time: 1:18.4 - damp/wet patches Modifications Engine: Front Mount / Exhaust Power: approx 210kw (UAS dyno) Suspension: front and rear strut bars otherwise standard Tyres: RE55 Brakes: standard discs / calipers Ferodo DS2500s Body weight: me or the car - both too heavy First time at Wakie in the GTR and first time out with a proper lap-timer (Mychron). It was pissing down first thing today, drizzled til lunch and lightened off after lunch. Still a couple of wet patches and water running across the track just after Turn 8 (the fish-hook). Should be back in about 4 weeks for another go - hopefully a bit drier......

Stig O'Tracy Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Mark - was there another GTR out there being driven by a bloke names Jase? Another GTR (R32 Maroon) - sorry I forget the guy's name. He was there with some others who had an S15 and Golf GTI between them - looked like the Nissan guys were really enjoying coming out of Turn 10!

I have got one of those attessa controllers to put in after P.I., be interesting to see how the two mods interact. All I have to do now is try and keep the engine temp under control for 4 flying laps - no mean feat this time of year.

Snowman Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hey Andrew - on a test day I did at Winton I took 1s off my lap time by giving the Attessa button a couple of clicks. Infact my pb's at all tracks except Calder (where I haven't used it) have been with at least SOME value of input from the Attessa controller. Even though at places like Sandown and Phillip Island it may have just been one or 2 clicks. And I have transfer case mod done as well. The 2 mods act differently in how they effect the cars characteristics.

Just got to gather up the courage to rip my virgin dash trim apart and cut and join a few wires.

Duncan Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 cmon get the drill out, you'll love it. nissan agreed and added more and more front torque throughout the different attessa version, in fact Andrew's R34 runs about the most stock. It's a shame Mark isn't making them any more, they've raced in Japan, won a couple of dutton rallies, done targa etc etc. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/46199-sau-circuit-times/page/40/#findComment-3649629 Share on other sites More sharing options...
