  1. Yeah, looks like the diff is open wheeling. Can't believe it cause I had it replaced last year! Well, save up the pennies for a nice 1.5 way.
  2. OMG last night I saw in a video that my car lifts the rear tyre under hard braking and turn in! I thought it handled pretty flat but Matty caught it on film - looks like at least 40mm under there Looks like time for some roll bars, it's about the only thing not done to the suspension. I do have a number of videos that I tried to shoot between my runs (thanks to all those folks who let me jump back into the queue). It'll take me a while to edit/recompress them as I'm shooting HD these days.
  3. To all those that wondered, GD2ILA drove home just fine. Funnily enough, the ride on the M7/M2 was much smoother on the ride home - the front tyres had been flat spotted from the Wakie day. But all those skidz seemed to have re-trued my tyres muhahaha Of course I'm shure I've cut the life of the rest of the drive train in 1/2. Hey to all you that have video of my White 33 GTR. I'll pay you a few bucks for them if you will shoot me a DVD with the raw video file. PM me so we can work out some details. Or maybe we should set up a video swap day somewhere. I've got a few vids I took on the day. (This especially goes for you Mr A. Moocow - i want that vid of me Drifting the GTR)
  4. Twas an epic day. Thanks to the execs and volunteers for such a great day. Got loads of runs in. Oh and thanks to all the man power that helped me out.
  5. Ah, I thought the kit was just the fronts, didn't really was full front and rear. Bonus! Sorry, I must be the only Asian Blonde on the planet.
  6. Skidz tomorrows! Yay! I'll be drop'n the clutch in my sleep tonight.
  7. So I did my lines today. Ran into a problem on the 33 GTR lines because the kit comes with one line that is female on both ends and then one that is male/female. So I ended up only using one of the lines and retaining the hard male/male line that goes in front of the suspension arm to the brake caliper. I had to fabricate my own 90 degree mounts so that it didn't just "dangle". So, I'm obviously wondering - have I done it wrong? I can't see any way the two lines that were supplied could be used given the fittings they have.
  8. Hey Welcome to the forums. Very funny because my name is Eric, I'm from Seattle (living in Sydney now) and own a 95 R33 GTR! We're evil twins! lol Sounds like a nice ride you've got there.
  9. Hey folks, I've arranged for a club photographer come to the event. Want some nice pic's of your car doing skids? Prices: $20 members / $30 non-members See me or an exec on the day to sign-up. Only accepting cash on the day. Once photographer does a little touch up on the photos, will be sending out DVD's to all that signed up. I'll also be doing a little bit a video shooting on the day too (weather permitting) and will put a compilation video on the disk.
  10. Yo Liz - happy B-Day.
  11. Just xfered the money, Doof - will email entry form tonight.
  12. Hey guy, Carbon covering isn't overly tricky for nice flat parts (like a hood) or parts that have simple bends. The more complex the shape, such as a front bar, the harder it is to get the cloth to lay flat and not wrinkle. Also, if you don't have a vacuum bag set up, you're going to need to accept a certain amount of wave in the final product. It's pretty much impossible to get it completely flat without vacuum bagging (google's your friend - lots of info on that topic available). So, you'll need the carbon cloth, high quality epoxy (something like a 1:1 or 2:1 type mix). Practice on smaller parts first as carbon has to be laid as one solid piece of cloth so better to learn on some less expensive parts before you lay out $100 worth of cloth on one part. I've also referenced Fibreglass Forums - tons of good info there, but need to register so you can read the forums.
  13. Tim sorry to see you selling your pride and joy. I can say I've seen it in person and it is down right tough sounding car. Good luck with the sale.
  14. I am very interested in these. PM me your mobile and you can consider them sold this weekend. I'm on the n-th shore too so pick will be easy to arrange. My number is 0419 468 835.
  15. http://www.scoopon.com.au/sydney Has 1/2 price karting again. Get your scoupons, I gots mine.
  16. Oh dear, another car crash last night. This one was on Burns Bay Road early this morning. Another tragedy as two young men died (21 and 20). They were from Killara. http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/mystery-as-two-k...0814-12429.html Condolences to friends and family.
  17. I think I saw Sherry in her Gunmetal R32 on Comenarra Pkwy, I was in Godzilla but was a little late on the wave.
  18. Yeah, well I decided to take the EXTRA Wide apex out of turn 2.
  19. I think you hear the tyres hitting the ripple strip. The lip is all good, part of the design to give that extra bit of clearance. Thanks again for the terriffic photos.
  20. Glad that people are getting the DVD's now. All of them should arrive in the next day or so. Now that people are receiving the DVD's, pic a photo or three of your car and post it up here! I'll go first.
  21. Hey Dave, In my opinion, you could do some out of fibreglass and make a carbon center inlay. That would be pretty hot. I'd follow the other suggestions here to find a way to make 'em more secure or pull em on track days.
  22. check's in the mail.
  23. Haha, you're kidding! We were in town at the same time. I was there from the 8th to the 15th - then shot back to Sydney in time for the Wakie track day! such a small world. As for driving road, well wife got nervous with being able to see so far down the edge and the ice up the top where the Remarkables Ski resort was. Besides, the Camry rental car was kind of a pig. hehe.
  24. Hey folks, the DVD's will be posted tonight. Spent a whole weekend burning disks and they're now ready to go. You should get them in the mail in a few days.

    Maybe try what this kid did - took an old Cell Phone and 14 trades later had himself a Porsche! Trade up on Craigslist to a Porsche *runs to find old pokemon card* this'll get me started!
