New PB at the last Supersprint round at E.C. on the weekend. Not so many Nissans in attendance but flew the flag anyway. Results: http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?12/11/2011.ARDC.S2 Time: 149.50 Car: R32 GTSt Engine: Stock RB20DET, HKS 2530, GTR Inj and a big thanks to Dr Drift for fantastic remote tuning from Mel. Power: Around 220kw Tyres: Kumho, V70A, 245/17 Suspension: Buddy club race spec coil overs. Brakes: Stock GTSt, Intima pads. Weight: 1263kgs. Drove it to and from the track with no issues.

Very smooth, I like it... We need to get both our diffs out and get them sorted, I reckon we will get another 0.5 per lap with that alone. We won't be beaten.....

Well done fellas, looks like it was a great day. Will try and come to the next one to give you all some competition. I'll try and bring my offsider also who will give the top of the tree a shake and give you someone to chase. Great to see so many Nissans being used to their full potential.

How about a group buy on a custom trailer that we can all share hoping that our track days don't clash! Watch to gloves come off for that argument,..! Anything has to help us poor bastards on the povo!

Refuelling needs to come back, I agree that is sucks watching F1 cars go around slow! It will bring a lot more strategy back into pit stops. What is with these crap tyres this year also? Getting only 10 laps out of an option tyre is a joke! Imagine if at our level of motorsport we bought new tyres and they lasted, say even 20laps, I would be severely pissed off and want a refund! Bring back Bridgestone or at least Kumho or Dunlop that can build a fast race tyre!! This is 2011 and they can't find a decent tyre supplier!! F1 cars are supposed to go fast and they even look slow when they are full of fuel. That's my spray out of the way.!! Go Webber, even though your chances are slim.!!

Maybe look at some front aero and some geometry changes.. Carbon bonnet would be nice. Whatever is free.

What mods can we do to go faster next round? The challenge is set. Suggestions welcome..

Go the RB20!! Sounds like it has a very short xorst? Goes like shit off a sling shot..

New time set yesterday. SAU Nickname: grippy Car Make and Model: R32 GTSt Circuit Name: Eastern Creek Lap time: 1.49.89 http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?22/05/2011.ARDC.S1 Modifications: HKS 2530, GTR injectors, re-map.

The R32 ran well yesterday with a new PB 149.89. Good to see a few Nissans show up and run well. We are pretty much out numbered heavily by other makes of cars but we are still mixing it with the best. Good to see Nismoman PB with a 144.19 in the stock engined S13 and Wayne punch 1.51.53 in the very lightly modified S14 until the track slowed that put him into the 1.52's for the rest of the day. Zoran in his rocket ship 180sx was on track for faster times than 146.90 until he tragically flat spotted a tyre that ended his day. Even Peter in the stock as wet sock R33 was respectable with a 201.13 ripping into the cars around him. Hope to see more Nissans in the future as wee need to knock out some of these "hair dresser's" cars that people with dubious sexual preferences drive. Results of running wide at turn 1 are posted below. Victim was ok, Ford Fiesta not so ok. Support the cause for a tyre wall to be installed on the inside of Eastern Creek turn 1. Peace out..!

Ran well, new PB so what more can you ask for? Only problem is that now I want to go faster... 151.10 is as good as it gets till next time...

Anyone coming for round 4 on 22nd May? I need some competition close to my pace, all these hardcore plebs are way too quick for me..! Hope to see some stockers out there.. Looks like you and I are the only ones that read this hey Mark!! Our own personal web forum, how good is that!! Peace out..

R32 GTSt, stock RB20DET. A few mods and go fast bits. Nothing special. Circuit name: Eastern Creek 151.1021 Timing by Natsoft. Kumho V70A

Well, well, well, I have come back from obscurity and entered round 2 of the championship at the Creek. Don't expect too much on the first outing but hope to have a blast and catch up with some of the fellow drivers. Hope to see on the 10th. Grippy..

You'll have to drive and see. There is simply no other way to know what will be right. Tune it, track it and you will find a whole pile of issues that you will want to address. Suspension will play a major part as will weight, power, torque, lag, brakes etc. But you will enjoy getting it sorted so start enjoying!!

I cannot express how impressed I am with this entire build, the attention to detail is out of this world. I can appreciate how much work has gone into a project like this. I could only wish that my R32 would one day look like this.. Good job.... One of a kind car...

Graphics are ok but compared to GT5 it is terrible.. How many more years do we have to wait for GT5??? I'm over waiting and this last delay is pissing everyone off.... I doubt it will be available this year now? Maybe Christmas 2011??

I will join for a drive and lunch. I endorse the rules as spelled out earlier in this post. If you can't control or behave yourself please stay at home. You will only give all of us a bad rep. Please help to make this an enjoyable day and not one we would rather forget..

I've been playing the pants off this game for the last 2 weeks with G25 wheel and pedals and home made lounge room race car. The non HD is a big disappointment especially compared to GT5 and the textbook codemasters labyrinth of menu's is a pian in the arse! How long does it take from when you put the disk in to when you actually get to drive?? The cars are quite hard to drive if you go to max hard levels on every option especially with traction control off. It's very easy to spin but you can learn to control the car by not getting into the throttle too early but it takes discipline... Manual control of the pits is difficult also as you have to brake to 100kms in a designated area before the pit entry and activate the pit limiter, once in the pits the most annoying thing is you are asked to brake for the pit box and when you do it is always too late and you overshoot the pit box and cop a delay while the team pushes you back into the box. After trial and error I found that you need to brake long before you turn into the pit box and it works ok. Overall the game is pretty good, the graphics suck, after playing GT5 (prologue) it is like a psx2 game. Lets hope a V8 supercar game comes out in full HD. Happy gaming... It will never replace the real thing....

Some more..

Here is a few shots I gathered over the weekend.

I'm finally over it but it took a good 2-3 years.. I think the new one is finally (potentially) faster with less power. We will see.. Here's one for you....

Best of luck for tomorrow, I really hope you can break into the 40's. Weather is a roll of the dice tomorrow with rain forecast. I hope it stays dry at the Creek. I'll come see how your doing when I get there about 12 tomorrow. Also I totally agree with your comments on workshops. Why is it so hard to get the simple things done right when paying top $$? When we should be getting the complex things done right for the rate they charge. I have lost all faith in these pricks.. Mark and I have given up on all workshops and do it all ourselves now. Still need to step up to data logging and at track tuning. Go the R33, I really hope you can put it on the podium.. I will be in your corner.. Rgds, Andy
