Roy you better be up for the PI weekend. It fits my calendar so I'll be going.

I think I better go to that PI weekend. Who's booking the house?

I'll take the strut brace, and if you are selling Z32AFM's pictured I'll take one also if the price is right.

Updated lap time from Sandown Maserati day. Some seriously nice cars out. Trackday ettiquette note: when you own a barge TVR or BMW M3 and a Skyline approaches fast from behind.....get out of the way!! Don't hold the inside line and carry on a braking duel.

That's ok. I tried to show denham around the circuit.

When it blew the hose, 245kmh on the pit straight at PI at 15psi boost which gives me 220 ish rwkw at about 6000rpm, so I'd guess yes as the boost curve is awesomely fat Would love the vid of that flame.Happily pulled a 1:31.6 at Sandown today on the fabled road rubber. No cheater tyres for me (yet).

OK looks like me Roy Snowie Ash and Emre won't be in. See you tomorrow guys. Just the busted back is giving me curry (thanks army) so I can do without some time on the trains.

HAH....sure it did

Great, you can race Sunday Sorry to invade yout thread Greg, free bumpage mate.

The adjustable GTR Wang. Bought it raw (fiberglass) for $150. Guy has more he reckons.

We'll get pics of that too mate

Marcus, if you are hiring a pit bay tell us which one it is so we don't have to move from it when you arrive; or are they just allocating one when you get there?

It's on, went for a spin today and found I'm holding one particular corner 15kmh faster than before (wing at max AoA) but it sure sucks the power. I even slapped some ally over the gaping scorch mark but it's a bit rough. I'll start with the wing flat sunday and then increase it to compare times/speeds. If you can decide the height you want we can nut out the AoA for that height (maybe even plage one of the tuners settings) then I know some places that do NC machining and the cost shouldn't be too high to get the mounts cut.

The tune will have to stay as it is as I have a bit of other work to do first. I'm just keen to see how many kmh difference there is in the top speed on the straights with the wing at min and max AoA. See you sat then Troy.

Snowie, I'd be cautious of relocating the wing without understanding the flow characteristics over the cabin area. It isn't as simple as just lifting it, the angle has to be adjusted as well as the semi-attached flow over the the car comes down onto the wing at a pretty extreme angle. Just lookihg at the standard one shows that the leading section would cause almost zero downforce in an undisturbed airflow. This would leave most of the work to the upper adjustable winglet. I'd suspect that most of the aftermarket mounts would change the angle of attack to compensate. While I know a lot about aerodynamics, I have a friend who is Fords top aerodynamicist so if you get me a lot of good pics I can ask her to take a look and help me with an adjustment angle. Getting the mounts machined then won't cost too much and I can suggest some stiffening solutions so the bootlid doesn't crumple. I'd also recommend getting those undetrays, maybe in fiberglass.

Any track newbies wanna ride?? And who likes my new avatar (should scare a few off)

The garage will be open, after I fit the new racing seats. I'd love to have time to fit the injectors and tune but that's life.

Better make an appearance then...........Roy and I are both car lovin' mechanical engineers Kaz and we love talkin code. Nelly has cracked the code though, it all means spending ludicrous amounts of money.

Hell I use them on all 4 cars. Only second hand and nothing wrong with them as long as the rubber is plenty. If I can take them on the racetrack and survive at over 240kmh in the dry and 220kmh in the wet then they should be ok for road. usually they come in from Europe so are pretty good quality. I currently have Continental SportcontactII front and Dunlop 9000SP rear (best specific street tyre ever used, and I go through a lot although don't compare with semi-comp).

If northwest tyres in Fyshwick is still open they used to do 2nd hand for 100-150 per tyre fitted. I use the brother in Melbourne and always get a good deal and plenty of rubber on them for my track days.

Yeah it would be as far to my place to Sandown as it is for you to get there. Internet camera maybe;)

Man you're harsh

I'm usually not allowed out to drink as once I get going I don't get home until the late oh dark hundred hours and I spend a fortune. My only compromise would be to open the house for a night of drinking. I have 3 double beds and 3 kind of sleepable couches and a bit of floor space. And the garage space for Roy........

Fair enough and good to know. I'll keep using mine as i know of a skyline or 2 that has had the bonnet go up on the road and it isn't pretty so imagine at 200+kmh.
