A 6ft 3" fella who smokes, drinks, loves the Casino and has finally seen the light and parked his GTR and acquired a neat little 2L rwd car with Trust goodness.

He is the best and worst of us, knows no fear of armco and isnt afraid to ram others off the road...so prey you are in a different group :)

muhahahahahaha. couldn't have said it better myself troy.

yep, it's all locked in. I'll be there on saturday. I plan to restrict my can intake on friday to "moderate" so I should be in fine form. and with troy as my pit crew how could anything possibly go wrong?! hopefully I can coax troy into having a bash at it too so he can show me the quick way round this island of yours and where all the good penguin viewing spots are (that is assuming all your decadent motorsport hasn't killed them already).

yeah I want to meet as many of you kindly folk as I can! Not sure if I will be able to do sunday as I have the small matter of the 900km drive back home on sunday but we'll see. Anyway, I'll be back a few times through the year I think.

just be aware. we have a saying up here in NSW. "Rubbing is racing, but if you get caught rubbing it by yourself you're just another wanker in a fast car".

Ah yes. Never heard that before. But truer words have never been spoken. I am after all a wanker, its just that i own a slow car that i try to punt fast :teehee:

well that is no surprise as I just made it up. but it rings just as true today as it did 30 minutes ago when I decreed it so. and yes I have been caught rubbing it by myself. turn 10 eastern creek. ouch. guilty, another wanker in a (semi) fast car.

Slow car??? C'mon get your hand off it... I don't know of too many rwd 2 litres getting around a track as fast as you do, heck even 2.5 litre cars struggle to match your times...

So, I'm assuming your comparing your car to the quick GTR's...

I'll let you drive my car and you'll see how different they are....

Not that my car is a really quick GTR anyway.... :miner:

Oh, and I might make an appearance on Saturday.....

hey

off topic but if you are out in melb on sat night give us a yell

im in

Will do Paul...and Jack, come for a drive down on Saturday. I want the Count to see your car. I will just sit back and laugh at him getting all riled up and work himself into a state... then sit back and listen to all the hatched plans to sell the S13 after nly 24 hours of ownership and spend more money on the GTR. Your car has that affect on ppl Jack :miner:

LOL, was going to bring the truck to make some money, but then again I might aswell fire up the R, haven't driven it in a couple weeks!!!!

So from my understanding the Baron bought an S13 track whore to punt around the island??? You driving it aswell Troy??? For some reason I've got this urge for driving a wild RWD car that makes a lot of noise and is a real handful...

Bloody Newton and his youtube vids... :whistling:

Im chasing down tyres. If i score some i will tax the S13 and take it for a drive, otherwise ill let Ricko get all the seat time he can at the Island!

This car is a bit of an unkown qty, its got some nice gear on it but its no Big Red. Actually its abit of a Silvia twin of my car

Next track day you are welcome to tag team my car. I woudl actually like your feedback because any informed opinion is better then the tripe i post on SAU :whistling: Only i hope its not too wild with some of the new bits going in.

Nothing is too wild for the Stig!!!!

I'm in, I've driven GT-R's and an STi on the track, really want to try out a RWD, and yours is definetly the pick of the crop!!!!

actually the resemblance between that fine gentleman and my good self is remarkable. possibly separated at birth!

saturday night sounds like a winner for sure! some fine dining, a few beverages then off to win some cash as the casino.

Well done to Ferni who raised the bar today!!! PB of 1:48.9...

BBGTR and Ant have a task ahead of them tomorrow!!!

Good to meet Beer Baron and see his new track whore get punted around, even Bris had a go and was impressed considering it was on street tyres...

    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
    • Not required but appreciated. Super Coppermix Twin even the non-competition model feels like the pedal is noticeably heavier than stock which was pretty well judged IMO. I'll be swapping in the Nismo operating cylinder soon to see how that feels.  Personally I haven't felt anything that justifies replacing the damping loop, at least compared to more modern stuff where the clutch delay valve is actually quite noticeable.
