Well its on again. Unfortunately my car was not ready for the private track day on the 11/07 but it will certainly be ready for the normal S.A.S. on the 16/07. Can't wait to get out there again and test out the new goodies.

Hopefully we can see some more people there. For all those that can't make the mid-week days here is your chance. The weather is nice and cool, there is no excuses, lets go have some fun! :wassup:

if you to get the track license for $55. Its valid for a year. Then its $95 for 3 sessions on the track or $75 if you prepaid at least one day before the event.

We usually get there around 10am.

Sorry for working full-time and spending all Thursday night fitting a new set of extractors to the mini. Look it up, all the info you need is on the QR Web page, its just an open to the public day not a privately organised day.

But. . . . we usually turn up around 11 ish to try and get one of the undercover pits, I have to renew my 12month license which is about $55 I think and the sprints have gone up from what I have heard, $75 prepaid and $95 on the day????

You need a current license, at least long sleaves and long pants, and a helmut (you can hire them there). And then just get ready to have some fun! :(

NA_R33, it will be interesting to hear your comments on cheaper but wider rubber as last time I bought tyres they convinced me more expensive thinner rubber would give better grip due to the compounds etc.

Ill be sure to let everyone know how good they are after the auto hands it too jason... nah jk's. But yeah was only out there 2 weeks ago with the old yoky's on the rear. Before even hitting the track, the car has never hooked up as hard out of corners with the 265's.

Looks like we're kinda organised. Car is currently in at mechanic (his reaction after seeing the figures from it's current wheel alignment was not good - hence it's staying the night). Should be back fri arvo, and all is set for a sat blasting.

Also bringing out a mates "power cordia" - with special smoke screen function ready for use. Hope the line holds together though, as the cordia is a trailer only job (and finally confirmed that the line does fit on the trailer :) just as well).

See you there JLNewton - can't wait to see how well your GTR peddles.

Hey, Dave. Actually bailing on this now as of yesterday. Have been invited to attend a track day at Darlington park on Sunday. Can't do both days and the Darlington park track is heaps more fun ;):) :)

Shall see you guys at the next one!

well we made it to the sprints and had heaps of fun, especially on the last free runs...but that was a bit naughty :chairshot teehee

best time Noddy got was a 1:00.8400, and plenty of consistant 1:01's

Was good to meet all you guys too. :Pimp2:

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
