Well car is all ready to go, I'm set, all is right with the world. See you at Vilis tomorrow everyone, will be good to catch up again Pete! Dave, if I don't see you in the morning I'll catch you at dinner tomorrow night

i'll see you guys at City Dismantlers tomorrow as GUNR35 is coming past my place first and going to Vili's is in the opposite direction.

weather forecast looks to be good so here's to a great day!

cheers - Kim

i hear a good day was had, but some of the GTR's had issues

I think my GTR was the only one that had an issue and that was the oil catch can spewing oil all over my engine. Made a huge mess and was a waste of Motul Chrono 300V but didn't prevent me from going out - it just meant that I had to clean my engine bay after every session.

Craig left early with his Stagea 260RS which was trailing a lot of black smoke on the track but I didn't speak with him to know what the specific problem was.

My best lap was 1:24.06 - I just couldn't break into the 23s but that was with a hand held stopwatch so that may have added the 0.07 :down::D

Ringlands were Craigs problem, severe detonation busted them real good. Any slight bit of curry and mass smoke. Poor bugger, heart goes out to ya Craig! Big thanks for letting me borrow the camera, I'll hook you up with it again soon :down:

Had a top day - thanks for organising the event Kim!

I was pretty happy to wring a 1:30.3 out of the near stock auto V35, which is the same time I was getting out of my old 6 speed S15 with 200rwkw. Definitely need better/bigger brakes to stop the massive fade and some much better tyres than the pos's that were on there. I find it completely bizarre that GTRs with nearly double the power only go 6 seconds (=7%) a lap faster .... I guess it is the nature of the sport. But scary too that Glenn's hairdresser's car (MX5) was doing 1:34s, and HELSLO's (turbo) Starlet actually beat me by around half a second. Yikes.

Burnt as faaaaaaaaaaark and going for yet another lay down now .... might call it a night (despite all the work I should be doing) and get up fresh and early in the morning *yawn*

    • A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!
    • I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
    • From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.
    • Good news. So it went up to 16.2 volts as per the manual then dropped to 13.6v where it maintains that voltage. The sizzling sound stopped after that. All is looking ok. Car starts up same as usual.
    • As strange as this sounds (as they are fixed back), my Bride Xero CS seats are the most comfortable seats I've used.  I vote go genuine.  The only downside I've found is on very long drives, you can't reposition your body while driving. So even though its comfy, being locked in the same position eventually becomes uncomfortable. I find myself stopping every 3 or so hours to stretch my legs on long drives.
