*Sigh*

Gearbox oil change cost me $330 :P Definitely won't be able to afford this :)

I shouldn't do it anyway, last one must have chewed my tyres. Put brand new tyres on the rear about 6000kms ago and mechanic has informed me i will need new ones in about 5000kms :D Can only put it down to the skidpan as i drive my car like its an excel, never done a skid or anything...

I would love to come...But something about driving an AWD Non-turbo makes me think i = fail

Got something against non-turbo's? :)

Lol just go along mate, i own an NA Skyline and had the time of my life, was great fun. Nobody judges you for your car :laugh:

Because these are Motorkhana courses, you really don't need a powerful car to have fun, and it's about learning to handle and control your car, so it's definately worthwhile.

Mate we have had all sorts of cars on these track days from very high hp Skylines, V8 Commodore right down to n/a Fwd cars (Excel, Pulsar) so unfortunately we dont accept your response as an excuse :D

So sign up and learn something about your car :D

I participated in a double skin pan event organised earlier this year. The technical aspects are the same as the single skid pan but there is the added fun of higher terminal speeds. So for the guys with bigger turbos this event will provide an opportunity to stretch their legs.

In short, I hate you guys for going there without me...that is all :P

Keets, if you want to have SOME part in this event, i dont mind taking your R for a lap or 3. I have a good reord of keeping cars on the black stuff. I do have 1 or 2 indiscretions are on record though. (have about 10 more off record haha)

I have photographic evidence of a particular excursion :P

Wish I could attend this but it's a bad time of year financially :D

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
