I think I was hitting around 170km/h at the end of the straight in the Stagea/LOLvo/LOLwagon, but I was concentrating more on where my braking points were or should have been, so I wasn't looking much at the speedo when the car was reaching its highest speeds.

I think I got roughly 180km/h before hitting the anchors on the straight. I think I need a good tailwind to push me to the speed limiter :blink:

Yeah, 170 for me. I really wanted to hit the limiter, but just was too worried about slowing down for the turn. Maybe i shouldn't have worried so much, seeing as though i made the turn every time haha

High 180's for me.. the little failvia needs moar huff!!! Plus wing will slow me down a good 10-12kms.. lose some top speed but gain rear traction x11ty!

Yeah Charles i agree, i was thinking the camera could be causing that but i have another photo from the rear with the camera on the passanger side, yet the wing is uber flexing on the same side.... DUNNO!?!?!? *shrugs*

i hit over 200, then the airbag deployed LOL

lol dont you hate when you hit the wrong button :P

I have footage of me coming around the kink and you pulling over after the incorrect deployment.....

Hope wasnt too much damage apart from windscreen!

Ive only been going up to 9000rpm so far, still getting a feel for it :D

Actually was way more confident in it at OP compared to Wakefield, I didnt once lock a brake, run wide, grab the wrong pedal by accident, miss a gear or anything it was a faultless day, just needed about another 3 sessions to start pushing faster lap times.

I wasnt watching the speedo that much but was off the 180kmph speedo. I was pushing hard all day trying to find mine and the cars limits think it was over 200kmph on the power FC when i came off on at the end of the straight.

Truth be told I didn't get around to flagging :)

~Jay~ with the blue 350Z stole my camera while he did the flagging though, also he took some pics during my session as can be seen from the photos of me driving my car :P

To tell the truth, I could have taken more photos but I spent a fair amount of time walking around and talking to people. The next OP day I'll try to get around to more corners for photos :)

just the windscreen :)

wouldnt mind seeing the footage

I was sitting on the limiter in 4th for a while before slowing down a bit for the kink.. I had decided if i put it in 5th i would lose about 50m in the gearchange anyway, and it would only make my approach to T1 even more slippery

next time

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
