that was fun.

And yes my best real lap was 2.02. Its amazing how slipping $50 to the timekeepers can take 5 sec of your times, just like semi slicks really :D

:D

Was a truely great weekend.

A BIG thanks to Andrew for taking me on the passenger session. Experiencing all those G's really was a sensational feeling.

Waiting for my car to be ready and i will be soon joining all of you out there. I will of course start from the rear of the skyline field :D.

Hope to see you all soon.

Another great weekend had by all. The drinking sessions slowed down my enthusiasm on the Sunday, but chopping HSV's was enuf to keep me pushing hard till the last lap. I loved the 5 lap super sprint's format for the last session of the day, and I must admit the HSV day was the best organisation i've seen at a club day yet. Even with the pits being renovated and a large field to contend with.

Everyone in our field was good to chat to and encouraged a friendly, healthy compedative attitude towards the whole day.

I personally feel I couldn't get more than another 1/4 of a second off my PB without changes to the car. I felt I pushed as hard as I could to keep up with Snowmans decreasing lap times. Well done mate! I just cant keep that corner speed while still running stock suspension. But enjoyed every second of it trying a few diff methods around the track.

Well i said there were some awsome pics to come and here they are.

Ill bring the hard copies to the next meet so you can have a look, and ill have some inlarged ones aswell.

hope you like!!!

I will be attending as many track days as i can, so there will be more where these came from.

James.

Nice photos James; have I met you on the day...?

I've met the brakesRus representative from Sydney who kept littering my car. :)

Awesome fun was had on and off the field, even though the resident larrikin was missing. It was a pretty quiet saturday night without you Roy. :)

Chris,

It is due for a wash next month mate.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
