Had a bit of a heart flutter this morning when I realised it was Thursday already!

Car hasn't been run since Phillip island, brakes aren't bled, haven't finished bolting in cage let along padding it, have to put interior back in, have to fix water leak coming from somewhere around inlet manifold!

I better go through the bottle-o on the way home, it's gonna be a late one in the garage! The misses offered to give me a hand, she'll have to be beer wench?

I belive there will be a few photographers up there on the day, and also i belive Martin and crew will have their videos recording...

The more the merrier though... love to see as much footage and pics as possible...

Have most GTR owners upgraded their handbrake shoes or are using hydraulic handbrake?

With RE-01R tyres and standard handbrake inner shoes my BNR34 simply wont brake free in the rear no matter how viscious I am in trying to get the tail around. (Be it a sharp opposing turn first and then catching the change in inertia as the weight transitions whilst applying handbrake - she just wont budge)

Looks like I might be gripping it around those tight turns unless there is a trick I'm missing!??

Looking forward to my first DECA day in the [R] so see you all there! :sick:

Cheers,

Ben

Great,

I'm not 110% committed yet but I have a feeling my scheduled commitment for the weekend will be postponed.

Whomever else is planning on bringing video equipment, shoot me a PM if you'd like to co-ordinate a proper production of this event.

PEACE.

Yep - Project Mu or URAS drum hand brake shoes.

Have tried hydraulic. Don't do it, it's gay. ABS and 4WD computer doesn't like it much.

Hanbrake shoes work great if your cable is tight and the little adjuster that sits in between the handbrake shoes is set properly on both sides.

Thanks for the clarity, appreciate it.
