I got a 15second penalty on the back track for hitting cones, I think that would've cost me and apparently its a record for the biggest penalty on the Long wang. I messed up!

The skid pan was soo wet in the morning before it dried up, sort of like driving on a lake!!

I can't believe we still finished with such good results overall considering the weather in the morning.

That means Dane and I are 1 round each. Looks like the next one will be interesting!!

Wasnt a massively noticiable difference in the times between groups on the back track but there was a pretty big difference in times between groups on the skidpan.

For example between me and Scotsman -

Mines Datsun Run 1 -

Snowman - 43.12

Scotsman - 37.16

Schappy Run 1

Snowman - 37.28

Scotsman - 32.50

But...

LongWang Run 1

Snowman - 58.09

Scotsman - 59.13

Given that Chris should have killed me but we both ended up with 2 very bad runs where we both lost a lot of points so in the end it was very very close.

Infact just about everyone made a few mistakes this time - except for Christian in the forrester which is why he's finished in the top 10 (plus he drove that car well)

Also - we did use any results from the 2nd run of the Wang Busta because there was a significant number of cars that didnt get that run due to the storm.

Anyways - time for me to go find some dinner.

Juz - take that result out and the one where you stopped on the skidpan trying to restart the car and you'd have had a super result.

That was while adam was driving. So he probably would've been a fair bit higher in the ranks.

so dane beat juz over a technicality? weaksauce! :P

Although checkin out the results, I can't really give Adam (newton) shit for driving a girly car like I was at the start of the day.

w00t for lowest score and being the first ones home. We ran into the red MX5 on the way back as well, looking at the scores it looks like it suffered a similar predicament to us.

Pretty happy with that for my first time out :D Didn't think I'd do that well, but I guess not hitting cones is the really important bit. Definitely plenty to work on for next one, and lots of room for improvement :P Will see if I can do some more skidpan work before the next deca. So much fun!!!

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
