They are great cars for off the showroom floor....i had a boner for it when he first got it. But a ride the other night in my car at 20psi and im feeling the love for my car again. Especially now i have the new gearbox and diff for it :ninja:

Stick with the GTSt, especially since yours looks so trick :ninja:

How can you want to part with that?

:)

You are right! I will learn to drive first......then I will buy and AWD so I can forget everything I learnt ;)

That pic shows where the workshop bent my bonnet :ninja:

Haha - especially if you go the EVO path.

When James was first driving at Wakefield he had very bad brake shudder. Then I went for a spin in his car and discovered you could just hammer up to a corner - and then turn. And the car would go around. Brakes really weren't needed. And neither was talent.

Don't want to get into the my wang is bigger than yours argument, even thou it is!

But one thing to note on the day is that the track temp at EC was very high and the semi's weren't sticking to their full potential. Which was proven when I ran a best time of 1.47.7 on the very hot dry track, then went and ran a 1.47.8 on a damp cooler surface when the rain was a slight drizzle. I wasn't pushing as hard, but the car had the grip back.

Just thought you might find that interesting.

I can't speak for Snowy, but last time I checked - I'm not gay. It's been a while since my last, you know 'check up' though, so ah... nah.

Anyhoo - you guys should stop picking on the way we talk, eh :)

Much to my surprise after receiving the Presidents Choice award last year for assuming this Alistair character you so regularly spoke about "may" have been your partner :P

This is great stuff. A lot of passion. The only thing I can add to it is it is a tricky track and to cut some sharp times will take a bit of practice.

The GTRs would have dominated the Zed if we drove them to their limit, but the track got the better of us.

Next time the Zed is gunna have to watch out. I'm putting serious time in on V8 Supercars 3....

Just move to Sydney for a few months. You can work on your tan and dance moves...and if you have time cut some laps at the Creek :P

You guys suck...even though i have done over 15 days at EC, i was only hoping for about a 1:50 flat. So you would have all still kicked my ass. Wakefield is where its at....blood will be drawn at Wakefield in 2007. With Australia Day forever being remembered as the day the GTSt fought back :D

I am thinking of coming for that one too :)

why do you say that?

Just looking at the tyre sidewall deflection. Looks to me as if it needs about 1-1.5lbs more. Looks like it is going over so far, it is probably hopping sideways a bit if it loses a little grip. Would that be right Jack?

My tyre pressures were up the shit at EC. Couldn't get good grip so took some pressure out, got worse. Put more pressure in and got better. But by then the tyres were shagged. Couldn't do more than 1 lap before it started to understeer like a WRX. A track like EC needs new rubber, will make sure next time!!!!

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
