S A U N S W Trackschool Trackday 20th April Round 1 Club Championship


Recommended Posts

Yup, A1RM is a good street pad and ok for light track work. Unfortunately, Wakefield has three big braking spots that makes it a bit hard on brakes for heavy cars. But then again, tyres also will control the amount of braking you get so may balance out if on street tyres.

A1RMs are fine in a car with less than 200rwkw, you're just not pulling down as much speed. I never had issues with brake fade with them but the caveat to that is that I flush my brake fluid regularly.

So the last 2 days the cam seals and turbo water feed have been replaced due to leaks. Then my timing belt tensioner decided to let go and the belt jumped a toothed, luckly it didnt bend a valve.

New tensioner will arrive tomorrow, hopefully early.

Breaks and tires are still good, just need to mount the fire extinguisher again and fill up the jerry cans.

CV joint fixed , new project Mu pads in the front, used a1rm's in the back and fresh fluids all round. Front near side strut making clunking sound, let's see if I can break it completely. also running Pirelli Cinturato P1, so I have I built in excuse for poor times.

Cool Ryan, haven't seen you in Yonks!

(Edit - Eric, learn to read thread titles when SAU'n at work!)

Indeed mate, looking forward to tomorrow, last year was very long year with 0 motorsport, . Also looking forward to talking shit with people.

Anyone staying in Goulburn on the Wednesday night?

Anybody ?

Excellent day guys. Always fun to talk shit in between sessions!

Pretty happy with beating my PB by 2.5 seconds with no changes to the car (and the same shitty tyres I've done my 4 previous track days on), the list of want-to mods just keep going.

Well done guys - real shame i had to pull out on Monday - my Son got admitted into the hospital for RSV on Sunday night being less than 6 months old - was a bit worrying - i figured its more important to be closer to home... im glad everyone had fun!

Till the next one!

You priorities are in the right place Des. Hope he's all better real soon.

Much better. Still has that congestion sound. But much better. [emoji4]

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
