Im curious to know what the selection criteria was? Id love to do the one later this year. If it’s a matter of doing better times in my car then I think my car will finally be running right over the next few months…if its because im not pretty enough or swank enough then I suppose ill forget about it.

Snowie, Wakefield is such an easy little track where big power will help you catch up other cars…you Victorians will do fine up there :

maybe we can lobby cabin on your behalf brisby? but i need you in melbourne for the GP weekend to entertain me.

i think you should have made it for sure. if anyone has a street car, that is built to do quick laps it's you.

That's if my car holds together - or if I'm not black flagged.

I mean this was my car 10 days ago and since then it's just sat in the garage. lol

But so far of all the cars I know entered which include me, Russ, the black EVO and Notaris in the Dutton Winning EVO, John in the 300zx - they are all pretty serious cars.

Then there is Pete. Still working out how there were no faster Victorians than an R31..... :)

pete is gunna smoke some mexicans... i can feel it. go son. plus we have ol' johnny. but he may be a bit hampered on street tyres, and pete may be not so hot with his $10 per set 'mowhawk' brand re-treads.

Yeh, Pete will fly the NSW flag, the quickest GTRs will be from Vic & QLD as NSW GTRs are always slow.

:)

As for my car, lol its a bucket...but sh1t its good fun :)

...bugger it. Im going to be too busy blowing my car up at Sandown chasing that 1:22 with the new diff...i say if i punch out that lap time, that this time round i really do get my keg :)

Since this is just hairsalon wank it's good you are coming to Melb for GP Rich. I feel it's time for the Bris to get plastered again :happy:

my thoughts exactly Geoff. Pints alround i say. plus i find i'm much better talking it up off track, than driving on track.

Huh, wait until Count Hardcore is hermetically sealed into his kevlar seat... :happy:

...the seat does all the talking :P

And i wont be gettign too canned up, the weekend just past has broken me and the money is going to be much better spent on rego for when i get the car back in the next few weeks

lol, at the seat. i will sleep in the seat.

dont worry ol' son. i'll bring a bag of shockies and a wallet of cash to ensure it's booze alround. now i just need to find a bar on lygon st, that is like the RSL minus the homely waitress, and the tongan bouncer. basically i just want a place with $3 pints. is that so much to ask?

lol, snowy. you are in for a world of pain. fatz will have you all ejected from the cabins in about 0.02 seconds. lol enjoy :P Be sure to show these mexicans how a new south welshman holds his piss. just dont get confused and booze up the night before we want you driving at a blinding pace, not just plain blind.

    • The plan is to get it out of the shed. The reality may fall some way short. But hope is as cheap as despair as they say. Will go a wide band I think. The coils are ok so maybe I’ll miss the $1500 on the R35 coils etc. Im still on the fence about a trigger kit. The HKS one looks nice ($1k) - not sure how it works with the Link or if Link prefer something else. Oil pressure is fine so I’m not that concerned there. Fuel pressure I’ll have a think about. The IAT got changed for the Link anyway as the old RB26 ones were really slow reacting and pretty poor. The Power FC just worked. Wasn’t terribly refined but it just worked. Probably made a mistake replacing it really. E85 isn’t available locally - it is 100+ kms away which puts it in the too hard basket. Lastly I understand Tunecorp in Perth are pretty good so was probably going there.   As for turbos is there are new age -5 drop in replacement? Turbos have come a long way in 20 years, everyone is big single which is fair enough but I prefer the old school complication of twins. Wasn’t chasing more power (well, not much more) but more efficiency would be ok.
    • I thought I'd share this....the shell is non genuine but they found or built a lot of the genuine parts. Plus, it is by far the best colour scheme of those years, the winfield once was particularly shit https://www.v8sleuth.com.au/written-off-inaugural-godzilla-recreated/
    • Good work Pete and glad the car held up well....been a while since I've seen you try properly
    • Just quick update, I've had tech issues and so a backlog on life stuff....I will pull lap times from the video and data from the ECU logs to do a proper update. But basically, in order of importance: 1. The car was excellent fun on the track, really felt a lot like the good old days. And nice to have AC while waiting 2. Coolant got really hot; again I need to pull and analyse the logs but the standard system is not up to tracking at 30o+ days, once the system was heat soaked after the first 2x15min sessions I could only do 3 laps before it got 110+ and I had to cool down. If I can't improve that it is a deal breaker 3 Oil temps were fine all day, noting it was short sessions due to 2. I think it will likely need work 4 Biggest surprise AT temps were fine, never went over 100, I would have been OK with 120 before I was too concerned. The auto sucks compared to a manual (of course) but it is faster to launch and I just need to downshift it manually before hitting the throttle, then it was OK. When I post the vids you'll hear it telling me off (beeping) for trying to downshift too early (it needs about 3500 before it will downshift, depending on gear a little but we are mostly talking 3/2 and 4/3) 5 A052s were not great which hurt the lap times, but I will be constrained in what I can get in good tyres that fit the wheel wells. These were small for a heavy car at 235/45/18. In theory I can fit 9.5 on front and 10.5 rear (so not square) but I still need 670mm+ high tyres in good brands. 6 Standard shocks/springs/roll bar are too soft for track work (of course), but that was always on the list. And happily, no white on the mat, despite having a teenaged passenger, extinguisher mount was fine. Also, it was nice to have Wakefield Park back in action  . Because the car was so quiet it is eligible for Green Day, which I thought was a band but is apparently a series of cheaper practice days they run with a lower sound limit, that is a smart idea.  
    • Great to hear you are bringing it out of the shed again. Unless you have specific issues I'd just add the wideband, get a good tune and enjoy it. Certainly no point changing coils etc if they are working. If would add fuel pressure and e85 sensor if you are doing a general update but not if it runs OK and you are just getting it back on track. The other thing is smaller, modern twins, -5 are OK for motorsport but pretty laggy and old tech for street use (of course, if performance is the priority a modern single with twin scroll manifold etc is the go but not cheap). The final thing worth considering is switching to an ethrottle if drivability is still an issue, it should make things a lot simpler and smoother
