Guys - just finished updating the Club championship.

Some other times of note really - Waynes (RUS) 2:01 is a standard RWD class car is awesome.

Jack to run a 1.58 - mate you have come miles in one track day since Calder. There's still a big step from there to what the car COULD run but anything under 2:00mins means you are driving no matter what the power.

And a special mention to Anthony (heartbrkr) who clocked his fastest lap in the passenger session. And here I was getting in trouble for going to fast! LOL.

Anyone know where I can get some stock seats?  I don't like the race style seats in the car at the moment.  I'm getting old and need more comfort.  

Cheers

Aaron

do i sense some race seats coming on the market soon?

Yeah Andrew, was quite happy with the times being my first time, although I know I can go quicker, especially if I take the first bend a bit faster....

Had an absolute ball!!!! This track is one of the best I've been on, so smooth and very easy to learn on. Was actually a bit nervous at the start of the day coz of the 'stories' people telling me about the track, but after the second session, my confidence grew aswell as those 'things' hanging between my legs and went from a 2:12 (practice session) to a 1:58....

Can't wait for the next one!!!!!

P.S Snowy, those rims/tyres of mine still in one piece??? :headspin:

See Jack - now you can appreciate why I say I think PI is one of the best tracks to learn on. No doubt PI is one of the most dangerous tracks in Oz - but I think it's more dangerous for experienced drivers that are pushing the envelope rather than beguiners. I think the "dangerous" places are far too scary for beguiners to be pushing in too hard. But as far as track surface, width and layout I think its a great learning track.

The experts continue to disagree with me on this issue however.

Wayne - you have been upgraded to Modified Class. Still a damn good timen you produced.

Yeah Wayne that is a top time for a stock car with only slicks and suspension mods :cheers: Next track day I wouldn't mind hopping in your car for a passenger session to see how the mods effect the cars turn in speeds etc compared to stock.

It was a great track and day, but i was pissed off my ignition system decided to shit itself on the main straight at around 200km/h and blow a huge fireball out the exhaust and had me thinking shite something blew up in the car after only the second practise session of which 2 laps were under yellow flag!!!!

I didnt get a chance to get a good run this time so i am hanging for the next PI day so i can get a decent time, and it was a slow and painfull drive home since the car would only rev to 2500rpm and then spit and fart.

Ant I wouldnt mind a copy of the vid of that fireball my car threw on the straight!!! :cheers:

LOL, that session with the yellow flag was when i knocked out my fastest lap:( Considering i went slow thru the woolshed and lukey, im hoping there was at least two seconds lost there.

I was gun shy the hotter the day got, so kept revs down and brakes meant i was going off driving at 8/10s, so didnt bother with 10/10. Car is at Race Brakes now getting the shagged master cylinder fixed:thumbsup:

Jack, that's fantastic mate. Anything under 2.00 at the Island is very fast.

Also, thanks for the help getting my car around while I was away. I wouldn't have got the Island without your assistance.

Cheers.

I had to sign my life away.

Special permission - I had to fill out a form, follow some rules and in turn was allowed pretty much anywhere - down side to this is I missed out on all the chit chat in the pits and got fairly sunburnt. :Oops:

Thanks to Joel though for taking me to all the good spots.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
