Hi guys

Was just looking on the Lakeside calendar and saw that there is a general practice day this Sunday (16th August)

http://www.qldraceways.com.au/main.php?menu=qri02

Just wondering if anybody is going to this?

Thanks

I'll be there :(, well, hopefully a few of us will be ;)

I'll be there :D , well, hopefully a few of us will be :)

is there an entry form for general practice or is it just rock up and have fun... also do they have timing equipment working on these days.

cheers

I couldn't find the entry form on the website for this particualr day so I just called the office on

1800 RACERS and she emailed it over to me.

I don't think there'll be timing.

I wouldn't leave entry til the day, I did that once and was turned away, full.

I want to see pics of this new wing! :down:

I backed to backed it Roy, first with GTR wing with Nismo lip, then another bootlid with the alloy wing.

It was given to me, and I had a spare bootlid, so I figured I'd try it...... I do hang my head when it's on there though :/

And this is the GTR it came in on mate.

haha, mates, as much as it really pains me to say it, I do think it will be quicker with it on.

Now, there was no official timing out there on Sunday, so I cannot say for sure, so I'm only judging by the seat of my pants. Keep in mind I also only had two flying laps before the gearbox popped.

1. I set the gurney flap to the most aggressive angle to try for the biggest change possible for the sake of actually feeling it.

2. It pulled 5th in around the same spot on the straight so it's not creating extra drag.

3. On every 3rd gear corner I felt like I could get the power down earlier. So, Caroussel, Hungry, and Eastern Loop, I reckon I was fully on the gas 10 to 15 metres earlier.

4. It was carrying more speed under Dunlop bridge (top of 4th gear), and it seemed a little less nervous in the bum.

5. It seemed a little less prone to understeer in the fast corner entering the straight.

6. It broke 3rd gear exiting Hungry, maybe the extra grip was the straw that broke the camel's back?

If I really am able to get the power down that much sooner, it's gotta be worth some time...... DAMMIT! lol

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

    • Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.
    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
