Can I think out loud for a sec.... that safety car should have a race number and a driver name on it. There... I said it... P*ssoff this one horse race crap and bring back the V8 eater. We can't always ban cars that smash aussie crap can we?

the australian touring car series handicapped the GTR's and everything else that was brutaly quick around the track, mostly to make it more competitive, as for banning it...

... well, im fairly sure group a in general just died.

threads gone from r35 at bp regular meetup to which is the best super car to gtr being banned :P

technically it wasnt banned more so holden n ford packed up there sh*t and started their own series with different rules so they wernt allowed to race i think they were going to run the race without holden n ford but didnt have the marketing/people behind it to keep it going.

many threads on sau, youtube & wikpedia on the subject

Go for a ride in one 12 months ago, then I'll be jealous lol - I'm still one down on Mr Donnon though...

The best thing about R35s is there arent too many going around with god-awful atrocious taped on Bangkok body kits.....at the moment. Give it time :(

BTW Chef one of the CAMS officials that passengers in the safety car was very impressed that we could shift our R35 using those manual paddles behind the steering wheel. You see the safety car crew are not allowed to touch the paddles or switches, and have to leave the car in 'D' for Drive under strict orders from upstairs :P

car was insane,he know he offered to let me drive it but every one else would get jealous so i said no, cant be too greedy ya know lol

I did tell the guy when he first pulled up "uh oh, now you've done it. Here come the Skylines Australia club members! Get out while you can" :(

but the funniest part last night was when cara said "she was the best blower on the block"

i think she was talking bout her car

... yes .... she was talking about the car :( ... nothing went on in the back of the Stagea ... nothing! :/

Haha, that's ridiculous - I was going to say what about all the manual safety cars over the years, but all the ones I can think of in recent memory have been autos :S Either way, pretty damn soft on the organiser/clerk-of-course's part. There's no reason why the V8s shouldn't be able to keep up lol

I'll give you a buzz later on this week and bring the N1 out for a drive, if you're around the place.

Dohmar - you're seriously dissing BBS LMs?? Mate, time for a style adjustment!!

Yep. I dont like my cars rims to look like a malvern star's wheels. However if you like pushbikes, go right ahead.

5 or 6 spoke ftw. I see nothing wrong with stock 32/34 gtr rims ;P

I think mesh type rims look good on skylines, even the cheapish starcorp fusion look reasonably good. Much better than impulse...!!

Heh sorry. Whenever I see a car with mesh spokes I think "Standish Spec"...

my only question is...

Does it come in 18 speed version?

      George's R33 GTST build

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
