Haha sorry dude, wasn't being a jerk, just meant that you weren't missing anything urgent by not being able to open the pdf.

Weather expected to clear in Goulburn on Sunday, should be a great day!

Everything is good at my end, actually it was the fastest load up i've ever had (having the car on the trailer saved me an hour).

Got some gadgets for you to play with tomorrow Stu.

GoPro HD and a RaceLogic PerformanceBox

Well, that was fun!

I think it certainly was! The weather was absolutely perfect for racing :P

The usual smooth running by circuit club! The rumbling of a Ls1 in a yellow 32 going pass - MAD!

Awesome skylines turnout! Made it home in time to watch Underbelly :(

The standard g/box gave way on the last turn on my HOT lap :(

Was on a PB unofficially - Jesson Button eat ur heart out!! :(

yeh thumbs up to the circuit club guys who ran a great day. Weather held up well although a little chilli for the spectators apparently.

mixed day as we had issues early getting on top of the tune, but after finally being able to collect some data we got it very close.

car was suffering from understeer for most of the day, could only get 3 or 4 decent laps per session before the fronts went off.

After finalising the tune the car was making alot more power and the 20 year old lsd started to get tired so getting traction out of the tighter corners like turn 2, the fishhook and the final turn was difficult.

was very happy to rattle off a few 1.08s in the last session with the best being a 1.085.

bit of work too do but alot achieved also.

good to see all the sau guys and girls setting pbs also.

yeah you totally didn't expect the 1.08s hey stu.

i was just knocking on the door of 1.12s with my last time of 1.13.03

Ren set some wicked times!

a fair bit of congestion on the track i found, was very difficult to get a clear run but i definitely got a few in before the end of the day!

Yup another superb CircuitClub day, these guys really know how to organise and operate trackdays.

I was grouped with much nicer (slower) drivers this time round which allowed me to watch ahead instead of my mirrors all day. Was good to actually be able to overtake some cars this time. Managed to equal my PB (1:18) in the first session of the day which was weird because I felt like I was backing off due to slow cars infront the entire session.

The session after I dropped that down 2sec to 1:16 with relative ease, mainly turns 3-4-5-6 up on the hill I think, using heaps less brakes and just using the gears to slow me up.

The 3rd timed session I dropped it another 2sec down to 1:14 which I think once again was gained through the top of the hill and also the turn 1-2 kink/corner.

Apart from 1 bonnet pin coming loose the little beast didnt miss a beat all day. I was also happy with my driving, no locked brakes, didnt go off the track at all or get sideways anywhere for the entire day.

Only got a couple of video's as the battery ran out and I forgot both the chargers and also the quality isnt that great because I had the wrong protective case on it (too much wind and not enough engine noise). Also i've discovered that mounting the camera to my fiberglass isnt a great idea as it shakes and vibrates so much you will get a headache just watching the video.

Got a small list of modifications to do before the SAU July event so bring it on!

I wondered why you were packing up early!

Again, great looking GTR. That R34 with you guys was just a perfect example of a clean, understated weapon. Love it.

What broke in the box exactly? Also what power is it making?
