Congrats to Paul and all who made it a very very cool day. There was an awsome amount of track time and even though some found the wall at carosell, i think everyone enjoyed the chance to have a good strap around a fantastic old track.

I went out to take some pics - meant to bring them with me today but I don't do Monday mornings very well I'm afraid... will post some up tomorrow. Was great to see so many GTRs, Evos etc running flat out around Lakeside :)

Heard that it was a great day. Times? Pics?

Most ppl posted times in 65ish sec or less. Some the faster GTRs were down into the 61's.....there was a red 32 GTR nudging into the 60's with me in my 33 GTST :)

As for photo's, I was too busy driving. Have some footage that needs converting off a digital camcorder (tape type) but I dont know how yet.

Just to echo everyone else a big thanks to the Timeattack team for a great day - got plenty of laps in - didn't have enough fuel left for the last session! Count me in for the next day !!

Cheers

Big thanks to you Paul. I never thought to toss you the keys instead of leaving early. Still suffering mate, but worth every second to get back on my old home track after 21 years.

it is great to get back out there hey? I was there in my old Datsun the week before it closed. was lucky enough to get on the track during its official closure for a "driver training" day in my GTR, and was in the first group to get commercial use of the track last month in the Supra. Can't wait to get my current track toy out there as soon as I can after a full exhaust goes on!

those ones on V8central were from Sunday's Top Gear race meeting. cool pics though.

apparently there's a court hearing contesting the opening of the track sometime next month, and Tetly wants to get as much racing in before that as possible.

Nicely done sir :rofl: Im jealous of your getting track time.

Couple of "whoops" moments there too :D

What was rubbing? or was that the sphincter opening and closing rapidly?

Only your sphincter makes those noise's, I hear Toyota's do that to their drivers.

The rear guards just touch the leters on the side wall..... just with some sidewall flex too. Its not hurting anything.

Thats an excellent quality video, very instructive, thanks. Have to say you 4wdrivers miss out on a lot of 'fun' though :P

Thats because toyotas are an exciting car to drive... which reminds me, doesnt your missus drive a toyota? lol

Some of the letters must be higher then the others. I listened to video again and could only hear "B*IDGE*TO*E" when it was rubbing

    • Heaps of historical info on this, a quick Google gave dates back to 2012, all talk about identification markings, dimples, shapes of mounting surfaces, washers, that are concave or something to match the fasteners mounting surface, which ARP states that if the washer, if it uses a washer in its application, isn't the right way around, it can cause premature failure,  even if it was torqued up correctly with whatever lube is meant to be used There is even talk about getting the bolts Xrayed to check the structure, one was about some builder getting multiple sets of bolts, having them Xrayed, and picking from those results Nowadays identical "looking" fake parts, in identical looking fake packaging are everywhere, with all the markings and stuff, the only way you know they are not legit is Xray or when they fail I assume if you don't want fake parts, and don't have a Xray machine handy, is to get them directly from ARP in the USofA, aftermarket rod and head bolts aren't something to take for granted  Imagine building a big dollar build only to find you lunch it because of an inferior fake fixture let go 😫

    • It's in the bloody domain name twice! Yes...the GTR boxen have, for some reason, been cheaper than the RWD boxen for a long time. 10 years ago the GTST box was available here for <AU$3k. 5 years ago the GTT box was available for ~AU$3300. Both retail through 3rd party. Now the GTT box is >4k locally and only available for less if you're willing to jump through some hoops. Apparently they can be ordered from Nissan dealers for $3-3.5k at trade pricing. A friend of mine has a new GTT box sitting on his showroom floor that I keep wanting to hit him up for but I'd somewhat rather he sold it to someone else at his asking price than to me for a mate's rates discount.
    • lol I didn’t even notice the bird 
    • I like the 'Beatles album cover, but with bird' element of this photo as well, haha
