I've had to drive about late at night the last few days and i must say - definitely looking forward to winter.

Or at least the car is. Wastegate lets off that much louder, boost is just a smidge bit bigger, car is that much more responsive.

Mmmmm, cool weather.

my tyres dont like the rain today :) im getting super happy SCAREY slides everywhere...

i should take a defensive driving course... anyone done it?

Steer into the skid.

Buy decent tyres.

Do a bunch of motokhana's.

be happy and merry :P

Loving the weather, gave my car a fair bit for the first time since owning it, love my car even more than before :)

Not liking the wet though, crossing Barton Hwy from Murrambateman road to the next street at peak time is a bastard as it is but crossing in the wet... I pooed a little.... im still not over crashing my old car in a slide

I've done a defensive driving course with Dereck from 5th gear. I'd advise everyone to do one, he really explains stuff well and it's good to know how to drive safer. It also teaches you a bit more about how your car handles in unepected situations.

mmm.... cool weather is good. my car hates the heat so mush that it mis-fires and idles rough every time i drive i drive it. as soon as the temp drops to mid to late 20's, car works fine and goes like hell... ;)

Done the same as well, from memory around 225$ or so, some skidpan work and how to brake in emergency situations. Good day.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
