Hey Ian, I will be selling my GReddy boost guage soon if your keen. Next time your out at dinner ask me for a look at the mounting of it. It isn't the most aesthetic of mounting positions but if you want to keep an eye on your boost it's hard to find a better spot without hindering your vision of the road ahead.

whats happening with this dinner? We still on for Lucky's and if so can I grab a lift with someone as my car doesn't like most driveways in The Valley.

I am not one for beating around the bush so my only advise on the topic of convincing the missus to go with the Skyline is "Skyline or divorce". If she leaves you then you can get a R34GT-R after you sell everthing during the split Jokes.

Lasagne....well thats what I am having

And what better exec to bribe then a Treasurer.

Perhaps he means on the edge, with a GT-R on the ragged edge your corner and straight line speeds should be higher then a GTS-T and at those higher speeds more care and skill is needed. If your not driving your GT-R on the limit then I agree, you can mash the throttle as much as you like and for the most part the car is well behaved. Ask Mushroom about how my GT-R behaves when it hits boost around a very mild sweeper.......

Saying that a 32 GT-R is going to detract from showing off your skills as a driver may not be completely true. I would assume that there are other 32 GT-R owners competing in the same events? If so then you will need all your skills and then some to better them which will showcase your skills in a massive way. Driving on the edge in a GT-R is dangerous because in many circumstances your speeds are higher which makes the margin for error very low if you want to avoid bending the car. This is a generalised comment and may not be the case in all situations but it is worth noting if you are on a fast track/course. For maximum fun I highly recommend the 1996 Series 1 Mazda MX5 Limited, they have all the light weight and handling characteristics of the Series 1, but with the 1.8, 98kW engine as fitted to the Series 2. The larger engine will turbo well without destroying the delicate front/rear weight distribution of the MX5. Bang for buck I don’t see how you will do much better. A 32 GT-R is an expensive option, and for a racing fit, street registered version I don’t see you getting much change from $30k. If you want a car for some occasional track use but with some street cruising credit and appeal (and a little boot space) then the GT-R is hard to beat. MX5’s are not a good day to day car when it comes to practicality. If you know someone with a MX5 then try going shopping with them and you will see what I mean. Good luck in whatever car you choose and good on you for giving racing a go. Cheers, Ben.

that was a surprisingly cheap feed...i forgot just how affordable Fasta Pasta is. Time for some wine now. Night all.

Myself and 83nno will be at Fasta Pasta @ 7PM. 16 Old Cleveland Road Stones Corner QLD 4120 Phone: (07) 3394-4000

If this venue is held at Fasta Pasta @ Stones Corner then you can park at my place......I live approx 80 metres away. Plenty of street parking and a few visitors spots available....

fasta pasta FTW!

I like both ideas. I will follow the masses.

Spotted Choy on Old Cleveland Road last night....waved and got one back.

Welcome to the gang Colin. I wish you well on the modifications to your beast.

count me in Normal time is 7pm.

I prefer to be alone for spirited driving. So how did everyone pull up this morning?

New Years resolution..... 1. Make loads of money.....everything else follows or can be bought with money. 2. Reduce time spent with other half so more mountainrunning can be done. 3. Find cure for PMS.

Hey Ben, were you babying it back on the cruise home? Dave's car will be awesome once his decent brakes are back on, I look forward to 'pacing' his car some time. Was hoping to do so on the way home but caught a few red lights in the city.

I hope no SAU'er got busted. IanB...I assume you mean Boost Cruising and Cruising Brisbane, if so, perhaps not best to rag out an entire forum online. I am sure there are many decent people on their forums. I would like to think they don't rag out SAU in its entirety on their forums. Cheers, MrBenno.

go to bed dave...its late and your old

Thanks for a great night out everyone.

count me in....
