SAU Circuit Times

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!

Probablly just stating the obvious, but I found my oil temps went down using Penrite Syth 5 oil ... $90/5l

sorry Nizchic I was running street tyres all round....I need to invest in semi slicks if I want to get the time down.

Thinking about a std set of rims 16" with 205 Bridgestone Potenzas. Anyone got any sugestions where I'd get a set of std rims??

I'm down to 1:15.52 at Wakefield Park now.

I notice that's what Tosh was getting last year in the MR2. I really notice the size of the 4 door on that circuit but I'd like to think that if I match him at Wakefield then I should beat him at Eastern Creek.

wakefield Park, standard MX-5 (plus exhaust and koni's) on Yoki 032 R,s 1:12.78, Calder in same car 1.13.02.

Saw you fellas out at Calder on Saturday, you looked like you were having fun. Attack the track hard through the corners and you should be down around the minute mark in a mild tuned 2wd skyline. I also noticed many of you guys were braking about 100metres too early at Calder. There was aguy there in a silver GTR as well that was pinging it's nuts off, hope he didn't melt a piston......

FWIW, I took my Cuz's R32 4 door around there on road tyres and we were losing a car length a lap on a 911 RS 993 model and the guy was going hard in his 911.

I'd love to get my car out but alas it's in Autosupermarket. Too expensive to start running the skyline how I want so back to racing an MX-5.
