It was good to see the gtr's racing around the mount and to see the first aussie delivered gtr racing around the mount was good. Im cofused with sum of the entrant numbers but as in the sdrive bathurst part the number 26 was on a 32 gtr that raced at superlap and not on a 997 gt3. And congrats to michael taylor for doin a 2.47 in the r35 for its first outing and on street tyres around the mount. nope i got the right as ive had a few drinks between seeing it and typing this :)

The 32 was parked up at mark and russ's joint Roy. Maybe the new owner gave them the green light to hang another scalp from its belt.

The 33 ran at time attack a few days back and even at this early stage was only a cuppla secs away from the fully developed 32. It augers well for the future of the 33 for sure. Its an amazing car to watch.

wow massive QLD result. Top 3 regular TimeAttack QLD drivers! Great result for Mark Rayner to pip Cam Dyal. !

last time I spoke to Russ at TimeAttack, they was hoping to take the R33GTR? Not sure if that result is the R33 or R32 (I doubt R32)

R32 GTR is in someone else's hands but the car lives in brissie still. killed a gearbox the saturday before timeattack at qr i think???

thats what i heard down the grapevine? :P

Go the Qlders, & ALL 1st timers at the track too, just for good measure!

Well done to Mark & Russ on a fantastic result, well deserved, especially considering the car was in 2wd mode!

Great performance by Mark Rayner also to dip into the 29's on semi's. Considering there is 4 to 5 seconds in slicks, it would have been very interesting to see what times he would have got down to. Next year we'll see, that's for sure.

Unfortunately I could not run my good engine for the event, so I swapped back to my old 2 litre engine which was only good for 259kw's on pump, so I was very happy to get down to the time I did on a handful of dry laps. It was not fun seeing another Evo pull away from me on every straight I tell you!!!!!

Cheers Cam

yeah well done to Mark B, Mark R & Cam, bloody good driving given the conditions ( lots of rain) , which really limited any learning the track time with good grip! especially as EVO Cam and ourselves had mechanical trouble which meant even less laps.

It was a good weekend and absolutely fantastic fun,& the most amazing track you could ever imagine driving , i thought!

it was the r33 that we took down for it first real race debut, which was a mission to get even half right, the car got one session friday and managed a 2.20 which we were happy with given it was Mark's first time on track! but the car was handling very poorly , it was trying to change lanes on it's own when pushed and swap ends over the high speed bumps on the crests. Then Saturday the front diff and housing assembly parted company with the sump and the top of the hill just after skyline with me in it ( my one and only drive of it two laps in), so we decided to take the whole lot out and run it in rear wheel drive for Sunday.

attached is a lap incar from yesterday with rear drive only, you maybe able to make out the whole car trying to bounce sideways from the shit suspension uprights and standard bushes still in the car. he couldnt hold it flat over the crests on either straight as it just wanted to bounce of the track!

it is a credit to Mark to drive it so fast handling sp poorly like that!

So first time out i know it would be hard to say, but do you think the R33 could ultimately be as fast/faster then the R32?

don't worry troy. i keep putting the hard word on russ for ya, and I promise I wont let him sell the 33 to anyone else! it's right up your alley I reckon. :)

anyway, it was a top effort by both mark and hollywood. you did pretty well for a bloke with no talent russ! putting around in that little evo. there would be a few blokes behind you that wouldn't believe you if you told them how little money is the total spend on your evo... especially when they probably spent more on wheels and tyres for their GT3 Cup Car than you did on the whole shebang!

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Lithium · Posted

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Degzy · Posted

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
