I'd say his mate with the teg is getting there early and saving him room (thats my guess anyways)

nah, my mate steve with the R34GTR is saving us a couple of car parks (that's if he gets his useless arse there in time!)

I will try and get down there early to save a bunch of carparks for the SAU crew :D

Troy, either PM me your mobile or post it here so I can call tomorrow and organise to get the strap?

Update - car is 100% back together shocks sweet... pity can't get out my driveway to test them out lol

PS DON'T FORGET DAYLIGHT SAVINGS STARTS SUNDAY, SO WE HAVE TO GET UP AN HOUR EARLIER  :drooling:

Are you sure? Daylight savings begins on the last Sunday in October... which this year is October 31st.

Daylight Saving starts the last weekend in October every year [except syd2kolympics] which is NEXT WEEKEND, NOT this one ;)

As GTTR34 said Sunday 31st October, 2am becomes 3am...should see you guys down the sand tomorrow.

I already knew but checked anyhow...

Where'd you end up getting the shocks done Marcus? QLD? That was a pretty quick turnaround if they were shipped interstate!

Done in QLD... cost me a arm, leg, and kidney to get them there and back in time, but VERY happy with their service and turnaround (not to mention their work)... go www.shockreco.com.au :(

Oh and sorry about the mis-info RE daylight savings :Oops:

Got some RE55s today ;)

Was nice to see so many ppl out on Sunday! I heard a couple of ppl on the day saying that it wasn't a masarati day it was a SAU track day, I had to have a little giggle. Seems like a pretty well run day, to bad the marshalls were a little tight on sitting in the grass area unlike the NDSOC day the weekend before :)

Yeah top day guys.....unfortunately like everyone else I got soooo burnt. Must remember the damn sunscreen next time! For my 1st time actually running at sandown with stock brakes, suspension and street rubber my times around the 1:40 mark, I reckon, were pretty good :-)

Me wants upgraded rotors and better pads before next track day!

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
