Well i think the adrenalin has finally left my system, so time to reflect on the days events. Got there (snetterton)in good time and parked up where i could see other jap motors it was all arranged as a virgins event on one of the other forums im on.
Started speaking with one of the bloke who was telling me about the laps he'd had in a 200sx which had massive amounts of grip, and then commented that with my brakes i should be fine on track!
Signed in, blah blah blah, then followed duncan (the forum founder) round for the corner chat which was top class and gave me a good reminder to avoid the kurbs if i value my car!
First session went well, started building up speed but couldnt get the car to boost upto 1.2bar would only just go to a bar. Didnt like coming out of russells as i had to take it in 2nd but then struggled to get 3rd everytime and then i was having to go like fook down the start/finish line to get any decent speed up. overall a good session and hope i proved a few people wrong about the little pulsars!
Second session started well enough, let one fo the 200sx's go past and then settled into a groove, managed to top 120down the revetts straight but was backing off way to early as i didnt want to screw up the entry point to the esses especially after dunc told up of what happens if you get it wrong!
Towards the middle part of the session the car started to have a slight puff of smoke on upward gear changes so i think this was due to the seals as the oil was upto 120deg C at this point so some was seeping through and same on the oil return from the turbo as there was a few spots under the car when i parked up.
I was the only pulsar there and was surrounded by scoobies, skylines, rx7's and many more!
Overall im very impressed that my little car stood up to the test but before the next one im going to have to:
redo the pipe run again,
raise the suspension,
change brake fluid,
get propshaft rebalanced cos it was knocking like a sod all the way round!
change front wheel bearings and bumpsteer kit
fit the z32 as i was maxing out the stock maf all the way round!
this could become a very expensive hobby!
