QUOTE(cavey @ May 20 2007, 01:12 PM) [snapback]1281075518[/snapback] I ended up doing a 62.05....I also had some major heat problems throughout the day, couldn't do more than two fast laps at a time... Any photos of the little rigoli starlet floating around?? Sounds like an oil cooler and radiator are on the shopping list  And I may have a few of those images in taken from yesterday lying around  |

QUOTE(cavey @ May 20 2007, 01:32 PM) [snapback]1281075554[/snapback]  Thanks mate....Yeah need to get an oil cooler as I fried my oil yesterday. Radiator is a bit tricker....not much room. Thinking of installing a water spray on it, see if that helps. Great day though.... Track temps should just get better and better with winter setting in so PB's should be looked to get reset in the next few months Which is also good for me as I can hang around for alot longer to take pics Perhaps upgrading your thermo fans could be an option ? |

Thats not too bad, but I would hate to see what people are getting without a cooler. |

I'm sure there was a small bit of drool coming out of Garlic's mouth  QUOTE(Fleet @ May 20 2007, 06:52 PM) [snapback]1281076407[/snapback] ended up with a best lap of 58.1, 2nd in class and 3rd fastest overall the oil on the outside of turn 2 wasnt helping with the lap times though and had many 'moments' during the day on that turn including one where the car ended up drifting completely sideways  but no damage done.Didn't get to see that one ... but something happened to the Torana in the cross over and it left a rather long trail ... second meet in a row there has been some sort of problems for it |

There were plenty of dust and gravel on the track. I was 4wd power drifting at most places. I had about 15 or so laps until the oil temp went to 132C It was great fun though. You should have stay for that session |

QUOTE(Minko @ May 21 2007, 09:55 AM) [snapback]1281077964[/snapback] Make up for my lack of skill with power down the straights Only got 1 or 2 good runs each go, either slow traffic & then when i backed off & had room went a bit too hot & made mistakes. Think if im a bit higher than group 7 ill be able to copy what the other drivers are doing & get some better cornering going  get yourself into what was group 2 on saturday if you can. with Fleet (300zx), GT40 etc etc. those guys have been going out for a long time, and know how to get around there quite quick. lines will be a bit different for your GTR but shouldnt be too far off best way to go faster is practice practice practice |

QUOTE(jezza323 @ May 21 2007, 11:16 AM) [snapback]1281078184[/snapback] yeah tell me about it.... this is what happened to my front left on saturday gotta get rid of those cheap Silverstones and get some decent Bridgies Jezza! |

That was with coilovers & semi's  Think i had too much camber on the rears have to see if i can get rid of a bit of that. The cars got most of the goodies but it was my first time so i didnt change anything on it, next time ill look a bit more into making changes & figureing out what works. & if that doesnt work, just crank the boost up
