Don't be so sure. You have to make it to the end of the event to win and anyone can suffer unexpected reliability and setup problems !!!

Consistency will determine the final players.

Wishful thinking there :O

The cars at the pointy are not only quickest, but better setup, more consistent and more reliable. While I think the dial-in and least spread events would have been won by these guys anyway, at least the rest of the field had a chance.

From my point of view I have zero chance of winning anything and will get more track time in the morning so I'm debating which event to participate in. For the guys at the front of the field and from a spectator point of view I'm sure they want to see the fastest car win.

Of course this is just my opinion and open to debate. :)

Hey IanB you are welcome to compete in the Street class. Send me an email with confirmation of your deposit.

Willo, the last two track days both Russell and Cam had issues with things like brakes, engine, tyres, cooling etc and would not have made it to the final round on points. Those guys are so fast because they are pushing the limits of their machinery.

keqs, that is a good point. I will come up with some prizes to make it more interesting. Give me a couple of days.

baboo, sure is. Just send me an email to lock in your booking. I have changed the format so that the numbers in each class and the types of AWD can be a bit dynamic.

IanB, its a $30 deposit to lock in a booking. (I thought you were on the mailing list ??)

The standard morning session still has spots as well for anyone who just wants to come out an do the normal track day.

Don't be scared about the event. It will be run to the format of all my track days. The racing is against the clock as always with all the on track safety rules applying.

The GTR turnout so far is huge. The street class is thin on starters though, so if your thinking of having a shot, book in now. There are about 10 spots left.

      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?
