Stig O'Tracy

Berry's time was despite some issues with fuel and various. I saw all his runs - just f'kn awsome. Makes my own effort (R32 GTR 2:41.4734 - only 0:27.7654 off the pace) seem a bit average. However I went in wanting to better 2:50 so I was happy. The car ran well with the only dramas being heat today (oil temp, and air temps) and a failing power steering pump. I had to do qualifying yesterday WITHOUT power steering - I did 5 laps and managed a 2:47. I was pretty rooted afterwards - could not imagine lasting much longer. I went to the 2 day Drive Bathurst event last year (familiarisation; unlimited speed runs, NO timing) and did the Sprint this year. All in all a top event and I reckon I'll be back next year (with better oil cooling, 4WD controller, lose some weight {me and the car}, ........). I've got 2:30 something firmly in the sights!

Fitted these to my R32 GTR (front only) earlier this year. I went for the 330mm rotors but in retrospect I sorta wish I'd gone for the 356mm. No problems with the calipers but supplied pads were crap (lasted one outing to Wakefield). Since switched to carbon ceramic pads recommended by Specialised Brake & Clutch Services (Penrith). These are much better wearing but (probably) at the expense of rotor life as I've spotted some small cracks after a further 2 track days. The guy at SBCS was a bit ambivalent towards them - he reckons he'd seen some "bend" (splay open) after hard use resulting in uneven pad-wear. And also reckoned the piston diameter was relatively small. Then again, he's selling AP racing gear. For the mony I reckon they're OK.

Also interested in pics and size, offset etc. cheers

Saw the pink Donut King Skylines at Oran Park today - R32 and R35!!! Hand timed the R35 at 1:20 (GP) but there was a bit of traffic and I gather they were trying out their Targa set-ups. Looks pretty mega in the flesh. I WANT ONE!!!

Dry and not too hot.

sorry - not specifically. I spoke to one of the group who mentioned 1:15 but not sure which car he was referring to.

Please stick me on the list as well. Thanks

Another GTR (R32 Maroon) - sorry I forget the guy's name. He was there with some others who had an S15 and Golf GTI between them - looked like the Nissan guys were really enjoying coming out of Turn 10!

SAU Nickname: Stig O'Tracy Car Make and Model: 93 R32 GTR Circuit Name: Wakefield Lap time: 1:18.4 - damp/wet patches Modifications Engine: Front Mount / Exhaust Power: approx 210kw (UAS dyno) Suspension: front and rear strut bars otherwise standard Tyres: RE55 Brakes: standard discs / calipers Ferodo DS2500s Body weight: me or the car - both too heavy First time at Wakie in the GTR and first time out with a proper lap-timer (Mychron). It was pissing down first thing today, drizzled til lunch and lightened off after lunch. Still a couple of wet patches and water running across the track just after Turn 8 (the fish-hook). Should be back in about 4 weeks for another go - hopefully a bit drier......

Please change my user name to "Stig O'Tracy" Thanks
