Hey QD180,

I would definately be keen, the notice is a little too short this time though. Let us know if and when you head back to Wakefield and I'll organise a few blokes to cruise up from Canberra.

Well.....i made it with no real Drama's (apart from running clean off at turn 8) on the very 1st warm up lap mind you :headbang:

Screaming rolla came down to check out the festivities and to take some photos. (hope you can post once you get the chance)

I couldnt talk Red Rhino into coming but hay next time.... :P

The 180 handle's like a train on rails :banana:

With progressive rear end slide and minor understeer!!!! :)

Power down and esp off the car has just the right amount of HP's all 180 of them to really challenge your skills....

The car really doesnt need anymore power!!! there was times when the power did overwhelm the tyres....

Now Lap times :) :) :)

I had 5 sessions throughout the day and slowly worked my best time down to a 1m15...... (hand timed at the start/finish line)

Ive never been on the track in a car (plently of times on a bike) so i think based on the lap time records on the wakefield web page the little Pug on "Fairly" worn road Pirellis :cry: did pretty well for itself :joker:

Heres somwe times from the site...

GT Production Cars B Nathan Thomas 1:10.1863

06/05/2001 Honda Integra Type-R

National Class Bikes Production Superbike Murray Clarke 1:03.49 04/03/01 1000 Yamaha R1

Mirage Warren Luff 1:10.0956 29/10/2000 Mitsubishi Marage

Porsche Cup GT3 Martin Wagg 1:03.7864 25/02/2001 Porsche GT3

Had heaps of fun :evil:

My buddies who where in a Prelude VTI and and Nissan 200SX where lapping roughly the same pace...

There was one lap when the 180 and 200SX dragged down the front straight neck and neck...the 180 can really keep up with Turbos hehe :wink2:

Next time though the 200SX stuffed its exit from the last turn onto the straight and i caught and passed him (much to my delight) by the start finish line......

Day was really fun and i hope that next time more can join the Fun

:D No not yet....... havent had the pleasure....

Too be honest dont see too many on the roads

On a track i doubt there would be a massive difference on the street if the Type R was stock its would be real interesting (i haven modified mine)

the 180 was pretty quick round the corners and not to bad in a straight line, they were fairly even the prelude had a bit more down the straight but it only went out for two sessions as it was using a fair bit of oil and he had none to replace it

When is it your turn mate to show em Stivo power!? :P I reckon it will be a very exciting battle after watching Leanne Ferrier in GTP yesterday.

      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

      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.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      Hey, can anyone help? We have a 2013 Kluger grande, Bluetooth iPhone and calls work well through factory radio. To play music we have an aux cord plugged in. Anyone know how to just Bluetooth music from phone through factory stereo? It’s weird we can Bluetooth calls but not music. Thanks for your time and help.
