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?

Very nice time... you must have some serious power...

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.

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • 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
    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
