There aren't any garages left and as it is, we have three (maybe four) cars in our single (that allows for two cars at once). We'll be sleeping there in our garage on pit lane. The advantage of having a garage means no lining up for cruise sessions (the event will likely get 800-1000 entries - no shit!) but you will still have ample opportunity to play on the track even if you can't scoot straight out.

Bring your mates in their cars. I know you'll love it mate.

Shame they're all sold out! So ill enter, but where can you park between driving events? From memory the place just gets packed out

Ill start asking around and see how many can make it

dudes, stop arguing. You should both win because you're both such top blokes. I think if one of you wins, you should high-five and buy each other an icy-cold beverage.

Actually, I will buy you both icy-cold beverages because you're both such top blokes.

If I could be anything in the world, I'd be you guys. Top blokes!

Cheers,

Guilt-Toy

You Bastard!!

You know who you are.

Dave have you seen if there's a "garage reserve" list?

If not we should get on it ;)

Screw it! We will build our own garage!

Ill bring tarp,staples and twine.

A garage full of mis-fits. It will be the best garage EVA!

I went last year but only ran a couple of times as my transfer case was shot. There wasn't any parking on the skid pan when I went as that was the pre-stage area for the cruise sessions - and it gets seriously booked up. I waited for like 2 hours for a 10 minute cruise session. The garages are definately worth it if you're into cruising.

The straight up racing was alright, but with a 2wd GTR no fun.

Last year weren't that many imports - mainly big blown v8's everywhere. but they were really nice machinery.

Also, watch out for hoons that put their cars into the walls. The day I went 2-3 got totalled. These guys in big muscle don't realise that their cars don't turn that well - esp when doing a burn out. DOH!

It was fun for me, but not nearly as good as real track time where you can really put the foot down into a corner.

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By Duncan · Posted

      FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.

      As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.

      but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
