So I don't see too many skylines on the list? What's everybody else's excuses?

I just faxed my form off but thought I'd ask everybody what sort of times are respectable around winton. I stuck down a conservative 1:50 for the old datto but would be dissapointed if I didn't go quicker than that. What sort of times should I be looking fore?

EDIT: Congrats Chris on the bub chris!

Weather was perfect. I even got a bit sunburnt.

The small numbers meant that you could pretty much do as much driving as you liked towards the end of the day.

It was a shame to see some poor bloke smash his R33 GTR on one of the last sessions of the day. It had some pretty heavy damage and definitely needed a trailer home.

Great weather and the car didn't break so all in all a sucessfull day.

Jack thanks for the advice over the phone to help me improve my times. The Stig is always there is spirit :D

It was my second outing with the first one lasting 7 laps and a broken engine a few years ago.

She was getting a bit hot though so i could only get in 3 laps before i had to back off and come into the pits.

There's definitely more in the car I just need to get more track time under my belt.

That's a real shame re the 33 as it was a nice looking neat car too. I left early and knew nothing of it. Here's hoping the repair bill ain't that bad.

gotta love winton. Such a good little track! I had a blast out there and got more than enough runs in. Nothing broke except for my pos boost controller, so i got an average of 7psi for the day and still beat my dutton time. Shows what a lot of laps will do, especially there!

You would hardly know Sau went to the rex days by looking at the turnout. Was good to meet Steve in the RX8 while doing the DT. Hopefully we'll be seeing you guys at future events.

Had a really good day, good work by the organisers, the event ran through the day perfectly.

Made me want my car finished even more now that the season is all back up and running...

Any hoo... once I recovered from the ride up in Frysie's car i set about getting some footage.

I've thrown together a bit of a clip with some of the days action...

Some bits are a bit rushed but you get the idea :P

Enjoy

How pumped up are Dave's arms after piloting the Datto? :(

That has inspired me...just rang Racepace :P Bring on being homeless and sleeping in the streets, Ol Silver will ride again :)

It is a handfull. And lets face it, driving a datsun is cheaper than a gym membership these days!

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to more wrt the other.

      A little PU bush story

      I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Butters · Posted

      Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.

      I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
