Duncan, I'll be there but I may be late (very likely).

Just spent $1 768 934.29 on new brake pads so I'm not going to miss this one.

I'm bringing a pyrometer as well for those who want to see what their tyres etc. are doing.

:burnout:

Hail NUR spec.... I'm not worthy...

Sure was genuine, belongs to Peter from Powerplay Imports. Apparently it goes alright, too!

Dino, did you have those temps from my tyres?

Just got home - installed CORRECT rings on pistons at workshop (and replenished lost bodily fluids) on the way.

Missed my car, missed my co-driver, didn't miss having a good time though - passenger with an EC newbie in WRX, toooottally sideways fullllllllll oposite lock through turn 8 ..................................................................high speed ................................and he put the boot in and in and in and saved it .......BALLS!!!!

Passenger with fatz - how come you have to wave at allllllllll the cameras when you are sideways, or is it cos' you can.

As usual a good day.

DON91E and tactic, you should have come up and said hi. Did one of you own the Blue 32?

Duncan, I'll send you the temps later.

Sorry I didn't make it to the pub this time (again!) guys. That traffic looked like a turd and as it was I was late for dinner.

Dang!!!

...those piccies are the money, now left with hollow, inadequate feeling that i cant do that!

Course you can mate... just need to practice. I have been practicing for the last few track days (3 sets of rears) and am not as good as fatz, but I'm getting better.

Just follow him for a few laps and learn the lines, then ask him how he does it!

Looking forward to the 19th... hopefully I won't get tyre issues... found that drifting on steel belts is really, REALLY easy... like you don't even have to try... right dad!!!

Howdy people. Ben here (the guy in the blue WRX).

Big thanks to everyone for a cracker of a day last Thursday.

Special thanks to Simon for his instruction and nearly putting me into a wall on my second ever lap of EC. :D

Can't wait to do it again-had a blast.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
