Returned today from 6 days in tassy. I drove a hyundi getz's 1600ks's and have to say had an absolute ball. I'd be in for the trip work permitting, I'd say 80% atm.

Watching a 1800kg pink thing with an automatic gearbox or blasting around new race tracks in my car ?? LOL my car is a bucket but i would rather be driving it then watching a god awful R35 :rolleyes:

We are having a meeting next Friday afternoon to confirm the SAU motorsport calender for the year. Once this is finalised we will be confirming dates for this trip.

IT IS STILL GOING AHEAD!!! We just need to look at the dates as the calender is already pretty busy with Circuit Sprints, Drag Days, DECA and the addition of a few hill climbs.

so your telling me you would'nt want to catch a glimpse of the first 35 in the country in action??? :rolleyes:

it was just an idea man so if it goes ahead i'll be in 100%

I didn't say it was bad or anything.

But if i am going to spend $2000+ for a week in Tassie, i would much rather spend it driving the roads, instead of sitting on the sidelines waiting all day for a 2sec glimpse at the R35 GTR.

Even though i would really love to do Targa (highly unlikely), i can not justify spending all that money just to spectate :)

The R35 will be around soon enough, i can wait till the time comes where i see, feel, and admire the 35GTR at my own pace

You don't need a track car for this Tassie trip. Sure there is a track day or two, but you will still have heaps of fun in a std car. On the roads we will be abiding by all traffic laws and having a great time.

Best track car is your near std road car. Nothing ever breaks on them :( You only start calling it a track car when it becomes an unreliable POS because you have way too many mods :D

But in case ppl havent picked up on it yet, the Feb date is likely to change simply because the difficulty with releasing the events calender this year.

    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
    • If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
    • Impressive. He's very very smooth.
