Did Luke Heslo want a timer as well? I thought that he had his own

I do have my own Dale, but if it means the difference between hiring the gear or not I'll put my hand in my pocket :(

EDIT: You also forgot Heslo's +1

Well that's the 12 then.

There is one place available if someone wants lukes and he will use his own.

for those with iphones you can down load the GPS lap timer for a few dollars. Worst case it will be 1/10 of a second out, I'll be seeing how well it works this weekend so let me no if anyone wants feedback.

if you're talking about "trackday" i've got it on my phone but haven't had much success getting it to work yet. it took ages to register the starting point and then triggered laps at totally different parts of the track. perhaps the gps reception wasn't great - I'll try next time to get a better signal on the dash...

if its like last time (99% will be) its self-scrutineering. by signing the application form, you agree that your car is roadworthy and isnt going to dump 5L of Motul on turn 1. usually 3 groups of 20 mins each, slow med fast, you sort yourself into your own groups.by about lunch time, people with issues or those coming off early creates more space in each group, so there will be plenty of sessions with little to f**k all cars on the track, so dont sweat it if your not in your preferred group in the morning.

just make sure you wear or take a long sleeve cotton shirt with you, you can grab one from cotton on for $20, long pants, and your helmet. Fire extinguishers not required.

Hey guys, I cant wait for the day... have been so busy with work I havent driven my R35 in the

hills for over 8 weeks. Shame, shame, shame. That car should not be sitting in the shed.

Anyone want to charge the battery for me just let me know...............

As far as the R33 goes I have not driven that in 6 long months since last track day in October

so will be nice to re-introduce myself to the Holinger & give it a serve. Way too long between

drinks....(well, for the GTRs anyway - hic!)

Have just got my new 10.5" wide RE30s with new Michelin Slicks fitted so will be a great experience

to drive the car with more grip out of the corners - the yoko AO48s (3 track days old) were struggling'

to hang on out of corners so will be fun to be able to power out & get some good speed down early.

All AI need to do now is learn how to actually drive the car properly get used to braking!!!

I will drive the R35 out & give it a few goes as well, but not expecting great things as it has around

12000 hard kms on the original bridgestones & they will suffer after a few hot laps.

Unfortunately, it requires a different set of rims to the R33 so cant just swap over the slicks.

Hope the weather is just like today......

See you all there.

JM

Ps. I dont have a 12v outlet in the race GTR but would welcome the timing gear for a go

in the R35 if it is available for 1 or 2 sessions.

The Race GTR is still very much in testing mode so not too fussed about lap times.

Anyone want to charge the battery for me just let me know...............

If by 'charge the battery' you mean drive the car more regularly so that said battery maintains its change then I believe that we could come to an arrangement :(

    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
    • Yeah, well I was probably way underguessing the $300 figure anyway. Just multiplied a "normal" by 4 for the purposes of pointing out it's not cheap, particularly if it has to be repeated.
    • We have an alignment shop out here that does what you're talking about but he wants like 800 AUD a pop. DIY is "cheaper" but once you start accounting for the value of your time I'm not sure it's worth it.
    • The main catch phrase for any car is "the eye of the beholder", and "personal tastes and preferences" And as for the plastic "flares", I honestly think they look cheap and tacky, and I cannot see them aging well, maybe if they were body colour they might look better to my eyes, but, I would still prefer it the were more like the older WRX STI models that had the wider body metal panels In saying all this 5hit, I wouldn't buy a new WRX again, even if it had the wide body metal panels
