im exited have some flyers for the day that i made that are 4000000% funny

man i have an ugly head

cmon you know you want to ;)  pick up a helmet from a motorcycle shop they are pretty cheap

We ll see how broke I am at that stage :P) I also need the air filter and the pedals, cant heel and toe with the stock pedals at all...

I got my helmet for $200 but I know you can get them for $150 new and given the money people spend on their cars it's hardly a major expense. As for needing pedals to go to a track day :uhh:. Lame.

Sorry if I sound harsh but I think we've got to get people into the habit of 'taking it to the track' so I'm just giving you a friendly kick up the arse. :P

hahah just need some practice, I can assure you its possible to heal and toe on stock skyline pedals :)

And not directed at you, but generally....

I have read at least 50 times in the last 4 days "keep it on the track". Was everyone just repeating what they thought they were meant to say, or do they really mean it?

This is one of the *cheapest* track days I have seen, and there will be experienced drivers on hand to help with tips.

What will it take to get people off the road and onto the track.

I got flamed in a friendly fashion ... i guess .... :) What i m saying is that i m more than willing to go, but before i do i need to the above mentioned things like the helmet and the pedals. Simple as that. And i wasnt making excuses. So :)

As per heel and toeing. I had aftermarket pedal caps on my laser and the brake was very dead on it, i.e. you can pump it up and down without noticing much effect on the car. So that was pretty easy. The skyline pedals have a different brake to accelerattor level than i used to. So the effect is i am there trying to heel and toe with my foot absolutely retarded and the nose going up and down and the revs not moving at all coz i cant reach it. Hehe. neways... I ll get it sorted.

Fatz, whats the charge if my gf wants to take the lady for a spin around the track? Does she need to pay another 150 or just a passenger fee?

I'm in. I'll even make the drive from Wagga (like 4 hours) just to come. So there is no way any other members should have an excuse.

How many guys usually turn up for these things?

Hey bring arm85 with you, you guys can do a wagga->syd trackday cruise :)

Neil, get used to running that rotor in, you'll need to do it again every time you blow it up :(

Speaking of which it looks unlikely teh gtr will be rolling by then, will have to bring along something else ;)

Igor, passengers are welcome, there is a small fee to cover the insurance about $30 I think.

Neil you sneaky bastard!! when are you taking it out???

Tosh find me some more track time to run it in and I'll be there. :D;):)

Um Duncan so when will the yellow piece of crap be ready,,,,June/July???. In the mean time I'll be having fun racing and you'll be holding the video. :headspin: :headspin: :headspin:

Neil.

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
