ahh I see....well that was bound to happen, these cars are brilliant but can't be thrashed for ever.

Was it just the turbo? what b00st was it running at the time? Like Brody said, just sounds like a reason for an upgrade to me :cheers:

Boost spiked at 0.92 bar coming down the straight near redline about 190km/h. Just heard a pfft accompanied by a squeak and lost all boost.

I've got it up on bricks in the garage now. Struggling with a bizzare alan key bolt holding the dump pipe on.

Good to meet you Jase and also Tim. Hope you all had fun out there.

Did you kick some s2000 butt Mark?

Getting very close to the Porsche Cup lap record of 1.12.9614 :P

cops arse

there enters the 31

had the shits with that friggin s2000 being in the way. had him thru corners but on straight he nailed me.

was great to get out there.

go the 31!

firstly, was a good day. Jason, thanks for the ride mate. Very, very angry car. I've still got some tar melted onto my shoe!!

That guy in the porsche was a champ. It was only his second time at OP but he was having a good go. I went for a ride in it, and the sound of that thing was awesome. Plus it's nice to be in a car with full leather and the air con running that can still go that hard!

At the end of the day the guy in the black silvia asked me if I'd like to go for a ride with him too and it was a revelation. he was a great steerer and managed a 1.20 (from memory) with me in the car. All in a car that still has the standard SR20, standard turbo and standard intercooler.

In case anyone is wondering why I was hitching rides like a bitch, the reason is I cooked my fluid :D

First session went out with the instructor (Darryl Cullen?), second session just getting a feel for the track. Third session I went out and pushed a lot harder and after four laps the pedal just went to the floor :) It never recovered after that. I went out for another session, but it was terrible.

Mark, that S2000 was a menace. He was really quick down the straight, but wouldn't yeild anywhere else on the track. He would brake really early, coast up to a corner, then brake again and then take a really defensive line. You'd think he was trying to hang on to first place in a GP the way he was driving. In the silvia we got stuck behind him for half a lap, we were quicker (miles quicker) everywhere except down the straight. so we go to pass him down the straight and instead of lifting to let us claim the racing line for the kink he keeps into it. Graham (who brakes very late for the kink as it is) is stuck on the inside of the track, brakes and makes it through the kink but runs out of brakes for turn two and we went straight off. He did very well to keep it off the wall.

Mark, I think you take out the go hard or go home award. You must of driven nearly every session. My mate couldn't believe you were able to fit 10 spare rims and tyres in your car!

Yeah, I would have loved an in-car camera with us in the porshce behind you in the GTR. hahaha.

fark if I'd known they'd allow it I would have taken the DV cam in with me, but I just assumed they wouldn't allow hand held filming.

yeah, he sells them on the day. I bought one of my GTR. hmmm I dunno if he keeps the ones that don't sell on the day. I'll have a look at home tonight and see if I've got his card.

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
