A big thanks to everyone involved in organising it. The day went extremely smoothly and just goes to show how well organised SAU is.

I was extremely thrilled with the way the SS went.. My best of a 1:15.1 hand timed still puts a smile on face :)

Can't wait for the next one... :ermm:

Wayne - wtf no mention of me helping you...well...giving you wrong advice? lol

Glad to hear you guys loved it out there :ermm:

Clappa - yeah I was very impressed with you and your car mate, hats off to ya!

Hey peoples, had a great day thanks to everyone for organising the day, and Adam for organising the great weather ( it could have been a lot worse ).

Big thanks to Neil and Duncan ( Duncan even if you giggled for half the track hahaha ) for the advice i ended up with a 1.11.76 in the last sesion with two 1.12's also, i am very happy with that. :blush:

Good to meet you Chris we will have to team up against the hi po track cars at super lap :ph34r:

Cheers,

Ryan

OMG!! Sorry Chubbs, how could i forget to say thanks. You certainly helped confirm my game plan out there in the first session for the day and calm my nerves down about having my baby out there on the track for the first time too. It was great to have an experienced mate next to me first time out.

Phanks mate!!

PS. Posting last night at 10:00pm after leaving at 4:30am that morning, racing all day and then driving home, i was more than a little fried in the head bud. Sorry Chubby, you know i luv ya mate!!!!

so what's the quickest lap time of the day in a skyline?

Some old fella timed one lap of the white R33 with no wing, sorry to the owner dont know who it is. Licence plate starts with BBR

He pulled a 1:09 on that lap. And pretty much from watching his car in group four while it was still out there in the morning, must have been the quickest car and probably bettered that 1:09 at some stage.

The Fairlady pulled a 1:06.65 WOW

Thanks to all the organisers. Choice day aye!

Thanks to ABoBob for driving tips especially. Made the day so much more fun to have some knowledge to work on. Choice :blush:

Had a freaken ball out there.

Car definitely needs more straight line power....

Big thanks to the organisers for a super smooth day.

All the comments about the car were much appreciated, even with windows up and helmet on my ears were ringing at the end of the day.

If anyone has any video of my car (green soarer) i would love to see it as I have NFI how it sounds from the outside.

Looking forward to the next one.

Dont worry it sounded horn lol, deep v8 growl down the straight.

Here's a vid of one of the last runs I did, with one of Gregs (vspec) mates as passenger: http://www.mediafire.com/?dm3ylw9itlt (Warning 46MB)

Its definitely not a clean lap and it's about 1:12.7

When I find the other tapes I'll post some more!

So pissed off that I forgot to press "record" before the first session when I was chasing Chubbs :blush:

Yer deff a worthwhile day :ph34r:

1st time out at a track, and it was hella good :D!

Thanks to Sam for giving me some pointers, reckon I cut my last time down on the last session after running with you, also caused me to loose it and go into the grass just after the main straight :blush:

ANy pics/vidz of a siver 32 gtr in group one??

hey all,

Yep just want to say a big 'Thank You' to all of the organisers for the day...it was a top day even if it was cold!!!

It was my first time on a track and I learnt heaps and heaps and didn't even scratch the car...didn't even find the mud so maybe I wasn't trying hard enough :blush: Anyway only timed a couple of laps and got a 1:17....

btw did anyone pickup on my quiet screamer pipe?? (black GTST with silver AVS wheels in group 2)

a big thanks to everyone who organised and volunteered out for the day.

thanks to anna for organising the accommodation.

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
