I'll get some up for you tomorrow mate

I have had this car for about 18 months and have done my best to make it into a well rounded package. Nothing has been overlooked when building it and i have used top quality parts throughout. Unfortunately due to the nature of my work I just dont get to drive it, which is why it's now up for sale. The engine and turbo have done less than 5000 km's since the build and the gearbox has about 1000 km's on it. There's nothing left to do, just jump in and drive away. The perfect track day weapon, drifter, drag racer or street cruiser. The price is negotiable to a small extent, you couldn't buy all the parts alone for the price I'm asking.

I think the gates usually get opened at 8am, if someone could confirm this for me?

Don't mess around with sporty street tires. If its a car for the track then get proper semi's. If it still has to do some street duties and you don't want to burn through them, get a second set of wheels to with some cheaper street tires. I've had R888's on my car for about 6 track days now, and they're pretty well rooted, but they're still good for 2.5 to 3 seconds a lap advantage over Potenza RE001 street tires. Best bang for buck upgrade you can do for your car, along with a proper wheel alignment and minimal rear camber (eg. adjustable arms) I have heard that heavier cars chew them out a bit faster though.

here's me pretending to be a drifter and a few nice ones from Mt Alma Mile

one last bash for the mx5. see what good the quads do apart from make nice noises

rally lights should help

well i had an awesome time, managed to absolutely smash the one minute barrier to pieces with a 59.3 on Saturday. Plans for next year are to come back in a car that can pull more than 4000 rpm in third gear, between turn two and the chicane. Josh (jap_star) and andrew from AM performance also had a pretty close fought battle for outright positions by the end of Sunday

was a great day. good to see a number of SAU-SA members bringing their cars out!

im looking forward to it

finaly faster than the 60kw mx5 andrew, congrats...

was another good day out there today guys. hopefully next time all those cars sitting in pieces in peoples garages will be ready to go.

i went with a mechanical because for the price id much rather a brand new item. Second hand torsens still got for 8-900 bucks, where as i got my cusco for $1200. That and i want to keep taking mine to the track so i nice fresh meachanical lsd should make quite a big improvement.... "looks at josh"

no lsd mate, standard open wheeler. i have got a cusco rs 1.5 way going in at the moment which should make some improvements

or from the bunker at the start of the esses for that matter?

i remember my thought proces quite well: "okay here we go, 50 meter board, wait, wait, wait BBBBRRRRAAAAAAKKKKEEEEE, turn in...... shit, too much catch it... hey check out this cool slide.... ah wel its gone too far, keep the power on and do a big skidOOOOHHHHHH SSSHHHHHIIIIIIIITTTTTT!!!!!!!!" then a little bit of wee came out

probably the coolest guy in the padock right there...

my thoughts exactly...

sorry to drag up some old posts, but i have a few bits to add. As the owner/driver of "that mx5" let me be the first to agree that yes, it was way to loud. The exhaust on it was put together the night before the event and i hadnt intended it to be quite that loud and it'll be getting changed before the next event. Lets not pretend though that it would've been the only car at the event that would have been sidelined had the noise rule have been properly enforced. Secondly, Nugz; josh tried to give you some constructive advice about driving at trackdays, having also seen the "train" of cars that was behind you at some stages of the day, as well as being behind you myself, im going to agree with josh completely, you seemed to be completely oblivious to anybody behind you which was both rude and dangerous at times. Just something to keep in mind mate. Having said that, i also experienced a bit of trouble with some of the guys driving in the "super fast" group. Being in a car that was dramaticaly slower than those guys, i was constantly watching the mirrors and getting out the way as soon as i saw one come near me. However, for whatever reason, on several occasions some of these guys chose to overtake in dangerouse places and come past so close that our cars were nearly touching mirrors. I realise there's going to be issues when cars that run 1:1* lap times are sharing the track with cars that do 1:3* lap times, but my point is that a little bit of mutual respect and common sense is required from all involved. To add to this, im pretty sure this basic track etiquet (sp?) was covered in the drivers breifing. Now im not nocking your car, its not my taste, but hey thats why its your car and not mine, but to start flaring up at people and giving them a hard time for driving "some bloody toyota" is not on man. If we all drove the same cars, trackdays would be boring. I personaly had some great battles with a black non turbo r34, it was a very close match up. Check the photo galleries from prevcious skynats, there's pleanty of other makes/models other than skylines. Both josh and myself are fully paid up SAU SA members, and have been coming to club events for many years, so to start discriminating against us based on what we drive is both childish and just plain stupid. I had a great day and i think the event went pretty well. I have to say though i was hugely disapointed by a group of individuals who stood behind my car while i was trying to reverse out of where i was parked in the pits, and then preceded to tell me to "leave it at home next time d***head". Pretty much the only sour note for me in an other wise good day at the track. Keep up the good pics guys, see you in october!

well ill be there for the sprint. might have to do something about my stock exhaust though....

Oh well... I'll just have to spank you all at the October track day!!!!

is this strictly for skylines only? i saw photos of other cars in ther galleries from previous years. Id love to get out and have a bash on the track again.
