Well neither of you look that old, but you sure are sounding like old, bitter and twisted men :P

My lsd is shagged so car would be usless around Winton and just fry the tyres:( And have to find where the oily smell is coming from my car, either power steering or clutch slave cylinder perhaps???

Smoking tyres ay troy. That would be awesome for DECA around the skid pan!

For the oil leak have you checked where a set of wires go into the gear box for the reverse lights, i know i've got a bit of a leak there, but with a bit of silicone its all good.

I must say it was a lot of fun sitting on turn one, you could hear everyone screaming down the stright then jump on the breaks. The forester that was running around looked like it was going to go head over heals every time he slowed down! If my car isnt up for a track day at any stage i will be lending a hand again, espically when they give you free beer at the end of it all!

If it wasnt for the flaggies and 2-way radios i was so going to blast past him on the cool down lap :evil:

It would of had to been a sneak attack as a twist of an ankle would have put me back in my place :chairshot

Does anyone know who to speak to with regards to getting the gallery updated for 2005 events, it seems we all have pics from this day, it would be good if there were all in a central location?!?!?!

PS...i thought about it, but figured no one would have been impressed. Stupid, impulsive actions like that usually end up in tears, lol, especially when my first impression is its a good idea:(

Drew (jorg) - really nice to meet you as well. And a huge Kudos to your Mrs for giving it a go as well.

Can you tell us about your car? Pretty stock still?

Nice to meet you to Andrew. It was the first time I had got the car out on a track after putting it together, it has been a bit of a mission.

It is an R32 GTR I imported last year, I plan on doing tarmac rally stuff and a few track days, so it has been tuned conservatively to keep it all together. Apart from a decent cage and seats, it runs 6 pot AP's on the front and RE55's.

I am off to the Maserati day at Winton this weekend get some more time behind the wheel on the track.

Georgie (my wife) got in a few laps, I need to be careful though because we used to run a WRX and she got too close for comfort to my times........not sure how I would handle her going faster than me!

    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
