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.

Oooof! Have to say though, your car looked awesome mate :D i love it :D

hats off to Cassbo for taking those pics, some of them are sensational mate, well done. How on earth you took so many, raced all day, and did some flagging is amazing!!!!

Cheers mate.

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

    • 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
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • 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.  
    • 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... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
