Was fun, I heard that there isn't going to be a Motoconcepts day for the month of Sept - time to go to Wakefield?

Some good pics there - including Roy's 85 degree drift in his Hino truck -

But they dont smoke:( . I still have much to learn.

As for lap times, i was apparently in the 1:56s, hand timed by sea sick passenger.

Oh and thanks to DoughBoy for handing over his keys when my Hino called it quits. I hate to say but im a fanboy :D

B-man, that one I did hold... was plenty of grip with those tyres on... but cost me too much to buy them so I only drifted on them once.

I strapped on some old "bedrock" tyres for the last few sessions and tryed my best to finish them off... sadly I failed after 4 sessions of giving them hell... one lap I drifted turns 2,3,4,5,7,9 and 12, not continuelessly (spelling) and they still didn't die... so they shall be making a return to eastern creek to be put into there grave. With these tyres one I had some pretty smokey looses!!!! All I believe should have been captured on film and I'm sure Prank will have them up shortly??? (Please please Prankster I really want to see how that rear veiw mirror shot worked, or didn't work)

Was a great day guys... I was in bed and very well asleep by 8:30!

Thanks all that came out to play... was good to see you all there and hope that you all had a good time!

Dan.

8:30? That's a bit soft considering you slept in :rofl:

I had fun in the little pulsar, didn't really explore uncharted waters but I had a bit of a fang around the track, it managed 170 down the straight. With a bit more track knowledge I could hold more speed through the corners and get my times down, but that's really a task for the next car which will also be RWD and more powerful... the pulsar is going to stay in the family when I get my next one so I have to be nice to it!

Thanks to Dan for organising, I enjoyed the day. :)

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
