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!

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!

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
