I'm going to have to do a check next time I go for a drive, but I'm sure I've seen some ridiculous figures in 1st and 2nd like 50ish l/100km!

By 5th with foot flat to the floor, I know the most I've ever seen is 16l/100km!

It started out at 10.6 and by the end of the last session it was showing 12.2L/100 on the trip computer with an average speed of 77km/h

I should be out on track on the 21st, got some new QFM pads in it so Im keen to see how it (and I) can improve on last time

Great driving, wish they made the auto in 6 speed, 2 Litre, like 138 HP and 304NM. Imagine that thing chipped, brakes and springs and shockers upgraded......

Just finished with the in car footage, which I put up on youtube, new PB of 1:10.86 and another 28 laps under my belt, car averaged 11.6L per 100km for the whole day too which was nice, so another 1/4 of a tank for the day

for the PB Lap

and
for a 300zx spinning in front of me

nice driving mate,that could have ended in tears.

Dazzler · **Reply #43: May 22, 2011, 12:08:48**

I enjoyed that .. You showed him who is quickest

Were the other drivers impressed with your little diesel Auto ??

P.S. How are your tyres?

trsc27 · **Reply #44: May 22, 2011, 12:22:44**

They have done 48 fast laps and still have at least 2-3000km left on them, they dont seem to want to wear out lol

Everyone was impressed once they learned what it was, diesel... oh ok, auto? Wow not bad time lol

That'll teach him to pass an i30

Smart driving mate; like Dazz says, sounds like those tyres took a beating

What QFM pads are you using?? I had HPX's in my Commodore and destroyed them in the 2nd session of 4 lap sprints, (melted the metal content). Also the pedal went spongy after 5 laps at the Phillip Island 6 Hour Relay last year on the replacement set. I'm now using the A1RM's but not yet in anger. The guys at QFM said the HPX's are not good for track use..

QFM Comp 9 on the front and a Remsa pad on the rear

After that 300ZX perhaps the subject should be changed to how to get the stain out of your i30 seats.

Nice videos mate. Dude in the Z might need the seat clean and pants check though.
Kept your cool and a good eye on him.

Also wondered if you are reducing the weight much?
AM rotors?

That bloody box is letting you down.

Lakeside is such an awesome little track, so glad they re-opened it

If the box had another cog in it to space out between the 1:1 that is third to the 0.7 that is fourth it would go better, but you gotta work with what youve got i guess

I removed as much as i could so spare wheel, tools, rear seats are folded flat to lower the centre of gravity as much as possible, other than that not really. I got a lot of advice from Razy on the brakes, and as he said to me the standard rotors are fine, they did the job really well, with the pad change and the fluid changed they were spot on every time i hit the pedal, even in the earlier practice sessions in the morning which I did 9 straight laps not once did the pedal go soft and they were all 1:12 laps bar one

**Reply #56: May 27, 2011, 23:13:51**

Loved the cornering and the handling, just wish they made a version with a more performant gearbox.
I've used Bendix pads before for regular driving.
Would they be any harder or softer than the stock?

Set a new PB of 69.9sec today with a set of Dunlop DZ03G semi slicks, amazing amount of grip I need to get used to now

accim · **Reply #58: August 21, 2011, 12:13:11**

That was some great video.. Haven't seen the previous ones till today, so I checked them right after last one. Getting better and better. I'd love to race my i30 on the track like that too, but I know I'd have to change brake pads, all 4 tires,... So kind of feel sorry for the car and my wallet

I remember when few of us guys improvised and made a small "track" few years ago, my tires on Hy. Elantra were useless after 20 min of driving

But there were many many corners.

At least, it's nice seeing other i30 owner on the track

Dazzler · **Reply #59: August 21, 2011, 13:31:00**

I can see your For Sale advert in the newspaper one day in the future..

Only driven at the race track on Sundays

Congrats on the PB.. very smooth driving...
