Man do it..... that will be so much fun.

R32GTSt super sprint.

No ABS ftw or ftl... I cant recall the last time I hit a track without it.

Bris ill winde down the boost for you from 16 to the wastegate min 12 but its the 315's and 265's youl have to worry about.

Good news.

So I had to get new wheels for my car as they old ones looked good but were not for motorsport use. This left me with no option but to get a new set of wheels but being a wide body car these wheels could not be found off the shelf.

I had to call upon Pete from The Mag Wheel centre to measure up my car and cater for potential brake upgrades. The end result are a brand new set of BBS rims that fit the car perfectly with out the need for spacers and dont seem to foul up on anything they also cater for the bigest of brakes if ever required.

This means that the track day is on.

My entry is going in tomoz.

Well having done some susp refurb the thing is still feeling wierd aroudn corners. Im not convinced i havent damaged something with my off at Calder in October. So hopefully a wheel alignment will fix the problem...will call Centreline in the morning and see how busy they are..fingers crossed its nothing major and the thing will be ok for next weekend

Entrants list has been emailed out.. looks like handbags and me are the only skyline australia members.. SAU represent! What happened to your entry brisby?

Also, looks like we've been grouped with all the porsches! so im expecting to have my ass handed to me nicely :banana:

Just a note to anyone who was thinking of coming down. We've been told they will have security at gate 15, which means if you're name is not on the list there's a possibility you will not be admitted. A couple of GT3's in the group, and Ivan Klaasan's 400kw monster.. I'm excited! :cheers:

Some very good times out there today.

Newton was running in Big Red, Grey 32 GTR x 2, silver 33 who is a Ford Club member. Matt and another grey 34 with an awesome cage were keeping the competition alive in the 34 corner.

Newton was quick, 1.17.9 I think :yes:

The grey GTR in Adam's group was flying but not sure on lap times

Matt was somewhere around the 1.24's I believe.

A total of 72 entrants which is a big field and also doing 1 lap more per session than the rex club.

    • 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.
