Just over a week to go :D I hope my new brake rotors and pads turn up in time.

Are we going to meet up somewhere on the way, or at the track? Last time i met Zee at the suttons forest servo/maccas.

I'm still up for this...

Suttons Forrest would be good for me as I'll be coming up the Illawarra Highway, what time you looking at?

For those that don't know Suttons Forest is here... about 5 mins off the Hume Highway up the Illawarra Highway (it takes ages to drive through Moss Vale compared to turning off at the Illawarra Highway exit)

Should be able to meet u guys there between 8-8.30am. Hope the weather holds up though.. and my car ain't prepped for the track yet so might be taking it a little easy this time round. Haven't got time to take the car in for service so i have old engine oil, old transmission oil, old brake fluid and half worn tyres. Plus i think my shock absorbers have had it, making a lot of noises recently. :( Hmm..

It's OK Zee, I'm sure you'll still be qucker then my stocker... worn tyres and all :P

Plus still haven't got around to getting the clutch work done, just been too busy, so i'll be doing a slight short-shifting and hoping to keep in Lift as much as I can. Will be interesting... I'm pumped though :D

Bad news about the suspension though... hope it is OK and nothing too serious, had you reported noises before lowering, because that is my concern about lowering, is if I am getting noises now that they can't diagnise, how will it be then, and what about warranty??? Anyway I need to bight to bullet and do the suspension some time...

Hey Zee good to see your coming down. My car hasnt really been prepped either, my new rotors and pads still havent turned up so i might be having a hard time stopping by the end of the day.

Also i have a R33 skyline coming down, hopefully well beat him :D

Cool!! Is it a stocker gts-t? I will try to see if i can at least get fresh fluids into the car tomorrow morning.. a little paranoid about turning up at the track without fresh fluids.. the tyres are going for sure and the shock absorbers will make way soon (watch out for me in the corners, might go cross country a bit more!). And of course the way overdue clutch and flywheel WILL get done during my next service.

Cheers for a great day Dave...

There were sh!t loads of cars there and far too many Monaros for my liking (just seemed to be taking up space cos they weren't going too fast. ZEE, too bad you couldn't make it, your SMS hit me just as I got on to Macquarie Pass so unable to reply, you could have come down later in the day if you really wanted, oh well, next time.

But my feelings from my baseline run was that the stivo ROCKS... like we didn't already all know that. All the Commodore guys were amazed by how well they go and were real interested with what mods we had done to get them sooo quick, and wanted to know waht turbos we had fitted, they quickly went red when we told them mine was stock as a rock and that they were N/A.

I think power / weight is well in our advantage as we could brake so much later and better mid corner speed also. Plus kept with (or pulled out in Daves case) down the straight.

Lets get a few more out next time, it's a great fun day that is not too expensive when you think about it, you just have to be prepared for the 'just in case anything happens' situation that i'd rather not think about.

But to get a feel for what happens you can join Dave and Myself as spectators for the Circuit Club track day on ANZAC Day (Mon 25th April)

see this thread...

Damn it, should have gone down around 2pm after i woke up :( Missed my chance to stun some V8 Monaros.. Now i just got to make up for it on the streets i guess :P

Sorry Dave and Dylan for the very late notice.. picked up a night shift and thought i would be okay since i finish at 7am but i was so buggered after that shift i thought i might drive off the cliff while crusing up Macquarie pass if i went.. Really should have gone though bcos i felt like sh&t after my morning nap..

Anyway.. the next track day shouldn't be too far away since the weather is getting cooler and this time my car will be ready and we will make it 3 Stivos next time. Dave and i have yet to see more than 2 Stivos turn up at Wakefield so next time we better make it happen! :D

btw any pics?

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Fuel filter change - start stops running

      We recently completed a service a few weeks ago. Following this, a warning light indicated water in the filter. We replaced the filter, but subsequently encountered starting issues. After replacing the battery, the car eventually started. However, after running for about five minutes, it stalled as if it had run out of diesel. We have primed the filter, engine starts but then car stops again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.
