I have to agree with red, wakefield is a good circuit, but it is too short and tight... I like EC because it has a good mixture of fast sweepers and tight turns, it is also longer, much longer. Best time at EC (fast sweeping track) is 1:58, best time at wakefield (slow tight circuit) is 1:16 I think? I think that EC is smoother too.

There is a track day at Wakefield on 27th June, see thread attached.

Exhaust, suspension, bleed valve ;)

I really want to try the Creek. See what she'll do on a track which is more suited to powerful cars. Wakefield is quite tight for overweight cars like Skylines. EC is a skyline track.

But the good thing about Wakefield is that it's cheap and safe.

Interesting, I prefer Wakefield because there's more emphasis on corner speed, if you want to drive on straights try drag racing:burnout:

Best at EC is 2.00.07, Wakefield 1.11

The key to a quick lap is always getting around the corners fast, and it sounded on the video like there was a traction problem. Try some better tyres and watch the times drop! My Wakefield times dropped 6 second when I switched from Falken borings to Dunlop Formula Rs.

I find E/C more exciting than Wakefield. Although I'm not finished with Wakefield yet, it leaves me wanting more. After a session at E/C, I can contain my frustration in the car for a month or so.

I still want to do Oran Park though...

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
