I might even be there in the R32 to wipe the floor with you and your 4wd boat. Or I might be in the drift car which means, WHO CARES! DOOORRRIIIIFFFFTTTTOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll do what i can! Those NSW silvias are going to be hard to beat though! SXDS15 and S14, Hawkins in JET200 and it's their home track. Having said that I should be able to keep them honest!

Lots gone Bar, cooler, lights, air box, koyo rad, bonnet, R32 GTR seats, scratched every panel etc...

Never head of it? I've head of divinilite or something. Basically composite foam that you can glass or cf over.

I think it definitely made a difference. Does it feel different? dunno... Lap times speak for themselves. 3.9 sec quicker than last year at WTAC. That was a combination of aero, power, less weight. What I did notice was that even though I had heaps of understeer on low speed corners, high speed corners it felt very planted and not a hint of understeer...

Dunno

Woo! Drift car!!!

Forgot about this thread. The car was found in a very bad state. The idiot rang a tow truck to pick it up from his house! The tow truck driver ran the numbers and called police. It was found in northcote. Not sure what will happen to the thief. Unfortunately the only thing to do is wreck what is left... At least he got it back. Better than nothing.

Um... 3mm I think. It's thick and stiff but still needed the supports. Would love to make one out of CF cos this one is so heavy!

I made it myself from sheet ally.

This isn't a game of who gets the front seat lol. They're sold. First post on this page is what is available.

Rear 1/4 trims sold. Still got the items on the list top of this page.

Yeah buy these and do a 1:34 at winton with a 230kw RB20! haha

bump

That's awesome Kory. Thanks so much!

True words...

Look forward to it

Flying finishes are a good thing for my car that doesn't stop too good lol

I don't really do convoys but if you see a green ute with skylinesaustralia and import monster stickers, that'll be me

Why wouldn't they be? Put an entry form in mate. Hold off on payment though. If you get in, you can pay then. If you get in at 3rd on reserve list you're a good chance to get in.

Sounds ok. Make sure the positive terminal has insulation covering it. Especially if it's close to the metal bracket.

Here are a few photos of the guys doing the gearbox swap!

So I said I’d finish the story of my WTAC later so here it is. It’s a pretty epic story and I tried to capture the excitement that we had over the weekend. Thursday was a practice day and my only chance to get seat time at EC before the event. Very lucky we did because the crank case breathing setup I did in Melbourne didn’t work as well as I had hoped and I ended up only having 2 sessions on the track. Lucky we did all this on the Thursday rather than Friday during the event. Friday it was all go and the car was running well. Immediately the times were faster than last year by a couple of seconds but I wasn’t getting into the 1min 30’s yet. Because of the forecast of rain we decided to put on the soft compound tyres to give it our best shot early on. Unfortunately every session we had was red flagged because of oil on the track, or car recovery’s where cars were stuck in sand traps around the circuit. Very disappointing and we thought we’d has missed out on the best track conditions of the day only getting down to a 1:40.2. The officials decided to re-run our group at the end of the day because all three sessions had been cut short with red flags. Finally we had our chance at a good clear track and we set our fastest time so far with a 1:39.6. So we’d gotten into the 30’s!!! In a way the pressure was off as that was nearly 3 secs faster than last year and enough for me to go home happy. Would Saturday bring more?? First session on Saturday and I was more confident in the car. Happy that I’d already posted a good time I wanted to push harder! Again RED FLAGS! Cars off the track within the first few laps! They lined us up for a re-run and 2 Hondas went off in the warm up laps! Idiots!! That was session 1 over… Session 2 on Saturday defined our weekend. I had a clear track and was on a flier, all I needed to do was change gears 1 more time into 5th and across the line on what was probably my best lap of the weekend to that point. When I loaded up 5th gear… bang! 5th gear broke about 200m short of the finish line. I came into the pits and thought that was the weekend over and we’d be telling stories of what could have been. Instead the guys were listening to the pit intercom to find out how much time we had. A good friend Troy Brisby had a spare gearbox and within 10 minutes it was on the ground next to the car and the challenge was set. 5 of my good mates were crawling under the car stripping things off all over the place. Others were running around the pits looking for a trade stand that sold gearbox oil. The car was still pretty hot and one of the guys burnt his hand getting the starter motor off. Fortunately for us Tarzan Yamada had coated the track with oil in the Cyber Evo and that bought us valuable time. As our session was getting closer I was in the car filling the gearbox through the shifter and putting on my race suit. Working to the time frame the car was put back on the ground with 1 bolt in the starter, no exhaust gaskets, a few other missing mounts and a cold engine. I went to select a gear and it didn’t go into gear! Something was wrong with the clutch or spigot bearing The guys pushed me down pit lane until I could engage a gear and I did the first half of the lap rev matching gears. I was thinking I’d have to come back into the pits coz I wasn’t going to do a fast lap without a clutch! Somehow the clutch came unstuck and started working at about turn 3 or 4 and then I had to get the tyres/brakes etc up to temp. As I came past the start/finish lap the chequered flag was waved at the car behind me which meant if I was only 10 seconds later I wouldn’t have even had a lap! The lap was wild and a bit messy in parts but it was fast, the changes we did to wing angles was noticeable and I think I was driving more aggressively because I felt like I had nothing to lose! I crossed the line and was pretty amazed by the time I saw. 1:38.571. Over a second quicker than Friday and about 4 seconds quicker than last year. It was good enough for 20th in Open class and 7th fastest RWD. It was such an epic event and I’m so happy with how it turned out. In a way it brought everyone together more as it’s a team sport at this level. It really was a fairy tale ending. I couldn’t have done it without the support and help from my mates Matt, Johnny, Campbell, Ryan, Mark, Bobby and Troy. Thanks to my sponsors.
