Why a Tuesday in the middle of the week?

Anyway...good luck and hope you wip....errrr...not wipe.....that REXES arse.

Don't shame the SAU Club.......

Maybe we should sponsor a few drivers to go around the circuits and get a good rep.

THEY WOULD HAVE TO WIN THOUGH :thumbsup::thumbsup::angry:;);)

agh.. just realised this is a Tuesday not on the weekend... thanks 700hp-GTR33!

WHAT??? - this event is on a SUNDAY people.

It is NOT on a Tuesday as some people are saying.

Folks, please,,,, Sandown ain't that good.

I reckon, in order :

1. Phillip Island

2. Phillip Is...

ok, now really,

1. Phillip Island

2. Winton

3. Sandown

4. Driving in heavy traffic with a tripple plate button clutch on a hot day with no aircon and the car is overheating and the windows won't wind down

5. Calder

I'm doing Calder because that track and I have some unfinished business to take care of.

There is an Island day in December with the Alfa Club. That would be a great way to sign off for the year. Anyone interested ?

Tracks I've dirven my order would go.

1. Phillip Island

2. Calder GP Masters (where you turn left at the end of the straight and do a lap of the Thunderdome)

3. Wakefield

4. Deca Wang (You all know its cool)

5. Winton

6. Sandown

7. Calder National

Aaron I'll be up for Alfa Club in Dec for sure. I haven't been to the Island this year yet. I'll save my new tyres for it. :(

I like Sandown because it's a good track to guage times at, it's fun to drive and it's close! Great to spectate at too.

I've prefer Winton to drive on, but it's so far away... and I've never done PI

You can tell how good ppls cars are by the tracks they like :)

I dont like Phillip Island or Winton as my car is a bumbl,ing mess at them. Long sweeping corners bring my car undone half way through them where it just loses the plot. Ditto under brakes...all too often you are braking with a bit of attitude on the car which means my car wants to swap ends and kill you. So you have to take it easy when coming up to corners and brake early and lightly. :P

So then take Sandown, and car shortcomings can be muscled around as the corners are all slow 90deg corners. Braking is all typically in a straight line, so you can really attack the braking, and mucle the car through the corners getting onthe power early and using the kerb on the exit to get onto the straights. In a POS car you can still drive pretty hard and have fun.

Pi, Winton etc you cant do that :P

So, of the tracks i have driven, the most fun are:

1. Sandown

2. Oran Park

3. Wakefield.

4. Phillip Island

5. Eastern Creek

6. Calder

7. Winton

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.

      If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.

      Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.

      Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
