Haha! Bring it on  That'll keep her happy  Don' think she was keen to sit and watch me zoom round the track by herself.

Yeah, it is going to be mad..... We can get smashed and hopefully there aren't going to be any 'red lancers' around to tempt you into driving at 2am..

Quick Ice update cause I went down at lunch.

Adzs car is done. Just got finished when I arrived.

Roy - your car - the water leak is fixed, the engine runs fine - but the wastegate still is leaking big time. The were going to pull it apart and have a look at the springs as I was leaving.

But personally I think what your car really needs is a few kg's of C4. I think that would be the perfect fix! :P

It only has an 8psi spring but i wouldnt expect it to leak that much, perhaps there is a bit if crud stuck in the seat of the valve...hope thats all it is. The internals were in top nic as i had to disassemble it before when a had the cast body bead blasted to clean up the scale.

Im heading off from work as i forgot my cars rego sticker :P then off to do soem shopping then stroll down to ICE and see the thing wants to run.

As for fuel i got no idea, i may pick up a jerry can this arvo just to save me running aound liek a headless chook over the weekend when i should be perhaps tighterning bolts on the car :Oops:

Dotn even think about it, you all had your chance two weeks ago to blow it up when i didnt car...im so close now i just want it back :boinkcar:

Well I rang the events co-ordinator and asked him and he said he didnt know but that they had just re-done the BP in Cowes - so I looked them up and gave the BP a call and the guy told me they just started receiving it 2 weeks ago.

Funny thing is Adz called him 2 mins after I did and asked the same question! haha.

bastards.

having a track day at Phillip Island the weekend before I come down there to live for 3 months :) there better be another one soon.

Hope you guys enjoy yourselves :P

Another NSW Team Track Day Invader :P ... where will you be working? Flexible hours i hope Calder on a Wednesday and Winton on a Sunday :mad:

Winton is Fridays Troy (and Duncan). Hope the old 58Y made it home OK.

So who is going to bite the bullet and start the wrap up thread? PS I ran 1:58.5 as my fastest lap :( (and 2:03 on normal road rubber:( )

This was the most wicked weekend of track fun ever...REALLY

2 days of both wet and dry tracks with no major spills or lunched engines, even at 230+ into turn 1 and 165 at the apex. What oil surge ;)

Also have to mention the phenomenal drinking sessions and making a new friend in Emre (hell everyone was great). Cool GTR33 mate :D

Hope the old 58Y made it home OK.

Yeh home safe and sound :(

I can even say i had a good weekend...

Hopefully next trackday ill have the car ready, thanks to Scotsman and Skylinegeoff for Sat night and you persistance under the car :D

Roll on the next track day, the weekend was encouraging, i have a whole shopping lists of excuses, but still happy with a 1:58 dropping back to 5 cylinders and missing pretty bad...with more boost to come and a few susp tweaks to be made the car will be quicker then me

Dunlop should put me on the payroll...i think there are a few more subscribers to the cheater tyre school of thinking ;)

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
