Hey Woolly.

i came out for a look today. i haven't been to a TSS round all year due to not running a crewing for our car this year.

i love the look of your car and the CR Kai's are porn. im very pleased to see some people finaly trying to make a jap car look like a jap car and not using rubbish bits on them.

The r33 gtst has to be one of the most under rated cars for circuit racing. I wish i liked them enough to want to own one because there is some really cheap ones around now but they all follow such a bland Wog spec look.

anyhow was you close to getting caught up in that crash today? any idea what happened.

Hey Damo

Was behind robbie when the crash happened, got it all on the in car camera. I dont think Greg new Robbie was coming through.

Ben, not sure what you mean by "how did my rear windscreen go today" or was that for damo?

Hey. Woolls, you beat me on the track, but I beat you in the points.....by 1!!!! That was courtesy of you Nunny and Finny going TOO fast LOL :P

Hopefully I will get my beast sorted before the next round. Got to take the gearbox out and find out why I cant get it into 4th and find out why I was running around with about 200kws instead of 222. I should of been lapping in the 62's at least not the 4's and 5's. :thumbsup: and even worse in the final.

Either the ECU has retarded the timming etc because there is a problem or when I fiddled with the boost control in the wet, ive inadvertently changed something.

I had plenty of grip with the new treads, but no mumbo!!

I'm not too worried about points. peter, leigh and myself had some great clean racing. (I was wrapped with a pb of 60.8 and taking the checkered flag) :banana:

ps, 62 still isn't going to be quick enough :D

Well its turns out the points I worked out were wrong and so were the official ones too!! They didnt apply the 1min penaltys' :( I didnt beat you on the track or in the points LOL

And no, 62's wont be quick enough, I maybe possibly could have should of been into the 1's with the new tyres. 62.3 is my PB but since then its been a struggle with one thing or another.

That checkers must feel good, its something that has eluded me so far :(

P.S i sent you a message on youtube :)

well that paints a very clear picture of what happened. that was very untidy. i thought the RX7 cam out of it clean but it appears my eyes were not working as well as they should have been. fec that would have been scary for nunn having a rotor fly backwards into your way.

and that rotor could have ended up a lot worse the way it went through the traffic.

thanks wools.

PS wools you need a far better shift light arrangement. i sagest putting it up on top of the dash as thoes over revs will hurt you one day.

I guess im lucky I wasnt that close to the action! :):( You have to be careful on the opening lap into the hairpin or somthing like that will happen if your not paying attention.

wow guys, i just saw the clip. some core racing. You guys are so lucky to be competing. My turn will come very soon I have just commenced a build of a 26/30 in my newly aquireed R32gtr, I'm not skimping, but will upgrade even more once she is built and my sponsors confirm for the 2010 season. I recently came accross the cams website but when it came time to choose the license i didnt know which one to pick, plus im not affiliated with a club, is the LCCT the club everyone joins in the nw area? benifits are? There is one guy i have spoken with once or twice on here and power cruise when we both competed, the other Damo from L'ton, surely he'll give me an answer? lol, cheers Damo

Your car sounds like it should be a good thing. Targa A maybe?

You need to apply for a provisional circuit license if you want to run rounds of the super series.

I'd suggest joining the Hobart Sporting Car Club or the MG Car Club as both of these will get you a $20 discount on your entry fee each round.

Funny how what actually happened is so different to the story told back in the scrutineering bay... :)

Unfortunately the rotor didnt come off that easy, as it backed over the ripple strip it hit the sump pretty hard which caused a decent oil leak. That was the only reason he pulled out of the last race.

      The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!

      Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.

      Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢

      500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
