  1. DEEP FRIED MARS BARS!!!! that sounds good.
  2. Free entry for spectators. Runs from approx 9:30am through to approx 4pm. Pit Stop Cafe has a BBQ running and cold drinks/coffee etc.
  3. I don't think I've parked in the spectators area, so not certain how far away it is, but always thought it was right beside the pit area. Ive drawn on the map below where I thought the spectator parking was, you could probably park at the very south end of the pit area so long as you were out of the way of the competitors. You can walk all through the pit area, its not restricted at all. I have also marked the main viewing area on the map as well. Its a pretty tight track, but still a lot of fun.
  4. I'm not having any luck with finding heavy duty brake pads today I've tried Trojan, Molonglo and Reliance. Reliance suggested I wait and get the Ferodo DS2500's said they would last and last, fantastic for motorsport, a little bit of noise (on the street) but worth it, they suggested around $220/250. Trojan also said the DS2500's at $300.48 for fronts and $270 rears. I'll just take it steady this weekend anyway. I can't see myself being too bold upfront. I'll take it out on the GTST Thanks for your help guys, always appreciated.
  5. That wasn't spelling... that was dyslexic fingers hehe Hubby's dyslexic... lays awake at night wondering if there really is a Dog.
  6. Friday may be a good option, weekends are fairly packed. What is Friday like for those who work?
  7. Where can I pick up some good brake pads today for the GTR? Who stocks them? (It has Nissan brakes) I'm thinking that I don't know what they've put in the GTR... They say they've replaced all filters/oil etc, but I need to be sure, so I'm off to buy some good oil's/filter and thinking I should replace the pads as well. Cheers Michele
  8. Count me in!!!!! Have a look at the Wakie Calendar... we should pencil something in.
  9. Animator vs Animation http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs13/f/2007/077..._alanbecker.swf
  10. I don't know LOL I didn't have any timers, if the helmet camera speed is accurate, we should be able to work it out by watching the clips, I wouldnt use the one I have there though, too many interuptions, I can put up some of my cleaner (uninterupted) runs for that. As you can see in the clips, our speeds were pretty similar on the straight, but I was caught behind them in the tighter sections. We should go out on an open day and time each other, although they're pretty busy too. The SAU day wasn't too busy, it was fabulous. I'll use any excuse to get back out on the track
  11. Yeah Scooby et al... keep em coming LOL If anyone comes down to the Hillclimb on Sunday, come and say "Hi" it would be great to put some names to faces. I'm a bit nervous with the GTR out there for the first time *shiver* hopefully after my first run I will feel better (and keep it on the track... or better still off the tyre wall). Cheers Michele
  12. HELMET CAM SAU Track Day in the R32 GTS-T http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7inn0WBvI1s There was a quality drop with compressing for Youtube, the helmet cam was making an annoying 'clunking' noise, so I covered it with music and will look for a better way to attach the helmet cam next time. The white 33 was interesting to follow, even if I did have to slow down/stop for it a few times. Thanks again to the organisers, it may feel like a loveless job, but we all luv ya for it!!! Cheers Michele
  13. There was a quality drop with compressing for Youtube, the helmet cam was making an annoying 'clunking' noise, so I covered it with music instead and will look for a better way to attach the helmet cam next time BTW - Hillclimb at Fairbairn this Sunday. SAU Track Day in the GTS-T - Dereck can tell me if I have kept my lines or not LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7inn0WBvI1s The white 33 was interesting to follow, even if I did have to slow down/stop for it a few times Cheers Michele
  14. Bring on the long posts I appreciate all the feedback/comments I receive and the fact that someone has taken the time to help. I'll need to re-read much of the advice I have been given and analyse my options. I had decided against the pods as I had been advised that a hi-flow filter would be every bit as effective (if not better) unless I was prepared to partition/section/box (or was it another word LOL) off the pods to ensure they only sucked in the cooler air, so I picked up a filter from Trojan for $100. I've pretty much decided to stick with the Nissan brakes after receiving fairly consistant feedback to suggest they are still damn good gear. I need another opinion on my rear rotors to see how much longer I can expect from them. I haven't had the GTR on the track yet but don't expect to be able to throw it around the corners the same as I do the GTST. I'm racing this Sunday at the Hillclimb, so will be able to talk about the differences after then. I imagine I will take it pretty steady until I get used to the car. Besides, I'm more concerned about panel damage with the GTR than what I was/am with the GTST, which may have an impact on my times - but I will build that up over time. I haven't bought my Federal tyres yet either, so that will impact my confidence as well. I need somewhere to test the GTR's braking, but don't know anywhere 'off road' to do this.
  15. I was in the Maccas car park on Sat night... or are you talking about Sun night (being 2am and all).
  16. PM sent - thank you
  17. Original Alpine head unit = Japanese radio stations which are a bit too far for me to pick up Who/where is Duncan... how much will it cost?? hehe more to fit into my wish list now Someone HELLPPP I've got the bug something bad.
  18. Fronts are new (from compliance I imagine), solid (not slotted or drilled from memory) and not the best looking quality, I imagine it was a minimum - not that I'm an expert. Rears are drilled and therefore (I'm told) prone to cracking and do appear to be borderline in condition. I think I have the standard Nissan brakes.
  19. Thanks, I thought it may have meant F=FRONT R=REAR I imagine prices quotes are for a pair... or is it each?
