Hey Ferni - tell Kev you'll come if he will personally instruct you. He loves getting into fast GT-R's :(

I saw Kev today, he said the 'fast' GTR's are banned from entering on the day, something about the instructors being 'WEAK'... :laughing-smiley-014:

Ferni, this is a perfect opportunity to get some laps under your belt and get closer to that flat 20... :O

Yeah Chris should be good to get an instructor in the car

car will be fixed in time... I freaked out after I filled it back up with water and drove it to the garage, when I jumped out and popped the hood there was steam everywhere and I'm thinking oh dear... well it turns out there was a pin prick hole in a coolant hard line that was spraying water right onto the exhaust housing of the turbo! interesting way to keep a turbo cool hehe

u'll be right mate....get it done and see u there.

Turns out my RDO falls on this day so I'm definitely in.

Another question. I have a set of wheels with average semi-slicks on the front and street tyres on the back and I also have a set with full street tyres. Which am I best to have fitted for this day?

Slicks on the front was good for DECA skidpan (slidey), but will it stuff me up on the track?

This might be right in the middle of my exams week... i always said i needed a study break lol and what better way than to drive hard for a day, should release the stress lol. i'll see when my exams are if they are a little way off might be up for it.

Although I got to thank the other 3 instructors, i missed the man himself, Kev!

Cheers mate for an awesome day. I learnt a packet and definitly look forward to doing it again!

edit: Sorry flaggies i forgot to thank you! specially since it rained half the day! (hope u enjoyed my spin at turn 2-3!!)

Camden

Thanks to everyone involved, including the flaggies (sitting out there in the cold and the rain).

Had a great time exploring the limits of my car (geez turn 1 is a lil hairy in the wet)! :D

I was rugged up so didnt feel the cold but did get a bit wet.. But thanks

Starting the day on turn 1 was great.. Watching some of the guys getting Hektic.. :D

But all up it was a great day..

And Kev

That was a great lunch to mate.. thank you.. :D

    • 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.
