Yeah, its my old boat, I am looking forward to see it again when it is on the boil and angry.

How is yours going mate.

yea, it does need a bigger turbo

mines slowly getting there.. just trying to acquire parts to make the thing stupid ;)

I would be interested if any of the 400+ guys track their cars?

Having played gtrs for a while it seems the magic number is 350 at the track

And I'm not talking poofy super sprint shit... More like 30minutes to 1 hour sessions

And if u have what cooling systems you have?

Never a truer word was spoken.

Also mechanical sympathy for the drivetrain is null and void, the drags I found to be the worst offender.

Unless you have big dollar items trying keep it together I assume.

But then a lot of it has to do with the driver, when I had my old boat its driver was rubbish though,LOL .

But like what was mentioned, you rarely see the big cars out on a regular basis, its usually, track day, broken, fixed, drags, broken, fixed and so on and so forth.

Either that or they are "dyno queens".

I hope I win LOTTO soon...........

If I go for 399rwkw ill be ok then :D???

I was mainly interested In your cooling setups

How extreme they are

I'm working on the GIO Gibson 32 next weekend at Sandown, I was hoping to get underneath with the camera... Quite extreme under there, as it was setup for the Sandown 500 I think. Coolers on everything.

Could give you some good ideas... :)

Is there even a such thing as 1 hour sessions at track days?That's mega hard work on the car!!! Weather it has 250kw or 500kw.These are road cars, not v8 supercars

When I was racing bikes and even open track days, we were limited to 20min sessions. 1 hour is murder on any road vehicle

    • 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 . 
    • 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?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
