scotsman any chance i could get you to do driver training with me please?

Screw chris, he's a hack probably put you into a wall or something. Could be worse though you could get ryan and in that case you'll end up having to get jack to tow you home because he will have blown up your engine! :laughing-smiley-014:

no way Sandown is scarier than PI!

am I a traitor for wanting to do the Maserati day there the week after instead? heaps less cars than the WRX days usually... I had 10+ laps in every session last time I went... bit pricier than the WRX days tho... hmmm

nick if you go that day I will go with you...I cant go on Wed cos I have to take ppl to the football.

My driver trainer is V8 Supercars 2 on Xbox, did a 59 second lap around Sandown hahaha, wooooooooooooooooo

Been looking through youtube for some incar videos, but most of the cars on there are slow, 1.35-1.40's.....

Wheres some Jack Footage around Sandown when you need it.

Edit: Found this Porsche Cayman S one on google videos, not to bad... still not super fast

Haha - my very first track day way back when I'd been playing V8 Supercars 2 on my PS2 to learn the track and as I hit turn 1 for the 1st time at full speed I was unsure where to brake. But I knew in the game I was braking at the 100m mark and I figured the cars in the game were going faster than me so I guessed 100m was going to be a safe spot for me to start out at.

:cheers:

Luckily for me I didn't also try and test out whether the kink was flat out like it is in the game afterwards.

hahahahah just clocked a 58 second lap.... its crap tho, i'm doing nearly 300k/h before turn 1 from a standing start on the grid!! hahah my arse.

Yeah trying to get my head around the kink at the back about how fast to be taking that, more important to set yourself up for the left hander after it i think....

LOL...Sega Boy! :)

Big thanks to Tom, car has fresh sump of oil, flushed brakes and a tank of V-Power Racing. I also backed off the rear swaybar from the hardest setting to the middle. Roll on Wednesday.

Im going to watch the video footage of my last trip to Sandown. Suss out where is was driving like a girl last time round :(

    • I will say most technicians aren't the best, then they see a Skyline and it seems like their brains start oozing out of their ears. But actual good techs that knew what they were doing to begin with I don't see them having any issues with this car. And it doesn't attract that much attention. But if you were wondering what it's like to be an attractive woman, driving an RHD Skyline in the US is pretty much as close as it gets in terms of endless male attention. Random people will strike up conversations with you at gas stations, at mechanics, etc. List goes on. When I do alignments for any car I never leave it overnight. I bring it in same day and usually just mill around outside the shop because I can't be bothered to call a taxi to go somewhere for 30 minutes only to get another taxi back.
    • By way of parts My local Nissan had a new water pump i needed👍. But i just had to buy and new AC compressor from the US 👎. Hit and miss with parts 
    • Gas springs (ie boot/bonnet struts) will be charged up to about 200 bar. That's a bit scary. Suspension dampers will have maybe 10 bar of N2 pressure, which is just a sneeze, where I come from. Anyone drilling holes in anything, pressurised or not, without wearing safety glasses deserves swarf in the eyes.
    • 2 legitimate street and one carpark with some variety. 
    • Unfortunately, lots of Christmas music in various stores. Very meh......
