Ok I got it done. Whole cluster removes via 3 nuts. Easy as.

Best time in the Soarer was 1:30.3 It was a heavy car. Only changes were braided brake lines, Dot6 fluid, drilled slotted discs, greenstuff pads, soft compound tyres, shift kit, lowered 25mm and fluffy dice. Its is an easy place to run out of brakes. I just run out of talent....

I dont want to talk about it... However. 'Twas a track day for the ALSC (Australian Lexus Soarer Club) I had been there on about 3 other occasions, so was sort of experienced at track work. (I thought...) We usually picked a practice day. Turn up with $85 and a helmet and it was ON! Usual format was 15 minute session, followed by 15 mins bikes, 15 mins karts, 15 mins open wheeler then 15 mins cars again. Would get about 3-4 sessions in a day. Mallala is VERY hard on tyres and brakes. Its all Go real fast then almost stop to corner then go real fast again. I was on the back straight (which has a bit of a dogleg in it) doing about 170Kmh. I was just entering the slight RH dogleg when I saw a Boxter wanting to pass, so I moved left slightly and waved him through. Just a bit too far, got 2 wheels off the track and it went off line sideways, then back onto the track sideways......flicked the other way and spun out across about 100m of grass into the wall. I walked away with a sore back. Soarers are damned tough.

Another Adelaide boy. Got my '03 GT about 4 weeks ago. Loving it. I had the front windows tinted to match the privacy glass. Fitted 285/19/30 and 245/19/35. Im happy to chat with any locals who are interested in sharing their secrets. Im a complete newbie regarding the GTR. My last grey import was a TT Soarer, that unceremoniously ended its days at Mallala! That was back in about '04. Remember there is NO INSURANCE on the track...

Hi all! Im a complete newbie, first post. Have fallen in love with my '03 V35. Had it 4 weeks. Got the big wheels happening, and the dark tint. Looks sweet. I was having trouble seeing with the factory reversing lights, so sourced some LED reversing lights. Any tips on how to fit the new lamps? Its not immediately obvious how the globes are fitted. I was assuming they could be accessed from in the trunk. Do I need to remove the whole tail light cluster? How do I do it? Cheers Frank
