Met some more people from the club, yesterday, special mention must go to Al - top guy, Chris (Black R33), Darren (R32) and Zul. Few others as well but didnt catch your names. James - thanks for organising the cruise down, even if you did disapeer as soon as we joined the freeway and didnt see you until we got there!

Thanks, always like to help my fellow skyline enthusiests. Hopefully that front bar held on till Chris got home. It was great to hear that the guy, who caused the accedient, actually admitted fault and organised all the insurance stuff within a couple of hours. There are still some fair and honest Holden drivers out there :D.

What happened to you as we left Megamart? We all pulled over on the Monash on ramp and waited till we thought everyone had caught up.

Some REALLY great pictures buddy :D

They day was great, i had more fun in the pits catching up with everyone than actually watching the track, only saw 3 group sessions.

Hey Al

I was at the back of the que at the on ramp but by the time we had all filtered on it was only Chris, and they guys in the R32 and me left in sight!Lol! The three of us just cruised together until the accident. I have one more pic of the aftermath so will put that up.

Zul posing! Yeah was the best outcome you could hope for in that situation, just a shame it happened. Great repair job by the way.

You did a bloody great job on the bar Al!!! We were talking about it all the way home and yeah, Chris followed us half way back to Melbourne and the bar stayed on fine... looked stronger than it was, hahaha.

awesome pics... what were everyones times?

My best time was a 2.11 (not happy with that) Only got out 3 times and black flagged on my last run. Very happy to get on the track at last and give it a go. I will need lots more track time to improve skills and style cos I can't drive... obviously. I need bigger... you know...BALLS!

I was blowing heaps of smoke (no catch can - straight onto dump pipe) down the straights each time I went out, was very concerning to see the cabin fill up with smoke...

Most of the other guys were flying. Most were in the 1.55 to 2.05 (even first time out @ PI) Snowy got a 1.48 give or take.

Had a look on WRX.com for times - not posted yet?

You can find the times here - http://www.racetime.com.au/?event=p0503

I don't know how to get to an overall timelist like we had at calder, you have to look at the individual session times.

I managed a 1.57.6

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
