Brilliant day guys! Was my first time out with you all and had an absolute blast! Car went well, had the expected level of brake fade and new my clutch pressure plate was dying so when she started going it wasn't a total surprise but managed to run a 1:37.3 in a totally stock r32 gtst, very happy!

Sorry I didn't get to meet more of you I couldn't work out who was who.

Question, I don't remember filling in my sau comp category anywhere? How does that whole comp points thing work?

Cheers!

Good time there Sledge. Pity I couldn't make it... Let me know how the car is!!!

Nice to meet you Chris

Russ well done mate!

As for the Lambo and Rex WTF 18's is hammering.

Sound like I missed a great day

For the kit it had, I reckon it should have been faster. Full slicks, big aero...

noob question, what was stuck on with duct tape to a bunch of cars? Just under the door was some box covered in duct tape? Show it on a bunch of cars. Is it some data logger?

That's the timer.

Russ almost into the 23s!

I really didn't think I would do a pb today. That time was the second last session and my pads were on metal. maybe I should run without pads. Might be quicker! Interesting that all my other times were 26's or higher... :D

I reckon with some newer tyres, better conditions, smarter driving and my current setup would be capable of a 22. Don't think I'll find out though coz by the time I go back the setup will be way different. :/ Are there any more sandown's this year?

Also first time I ran with your old sway bars. I think they're working. Plus more camber and caster prob helped too.

You need to give back the Teins and swaybars if you go and put that filthy goat herder's engine in your car.

Actually, it will be interesting to see any difference in pace with the brakes and engine. August and maybe the first week of Sep is going to be my last chance to punch out laps in my car. Its looking more and more likely that it wont see an Aussie track for quite some time after that

first time on the track in this car. Only done 3000ks still a bit tight. Next are Dunlop semi-slicks.

I would have been in the 1:27's in S4 if two cars infront didn't spin. Didn't complete last session as tyres were starting to fade too much and want to keep these road tyres.

Sorry about the quality

Car was great. Engine's running sweet, brakes are useless. Will spend some money on the brakes before the next session.

Funny thing was the HICAS crapped out at the start of the 3rd session and the car felt so much better, so thats going before the next event too!

First up big thanks to the organizers and volunteers ;) despite a few incidents the day ran smoothly.

I started the day hoping I could match my previous PB of 1:24.6 based on the fact I had to learn to drive the car again due to some new suspn bits, and ended the day with a new PB of 1:23.8 :bunny:

When we turned up the track was still very wet with lots of standing water and by the end of the day the track was dry except for dandy rd corner and the last turn onto the straight. Even in the wet the car had awesome front end grip and the rear was very controllable which gave me confidence to push. By the time the track had a dryish line I had already equalled my previous PB and kept pushing until the end of the day resulting in two laps in the 1.23's. Considering the state of my semis + the mistakes I made during those two laps I have no doubt the car is capable of another sec or two.

Big thanks to Racepace for knowing what to do to turn my car from one that refused to turn into a corner, to one that whats to turn in a straight line!! :)

I'd be in for that too! Provided you boys don't mind my slower gtst following you around? (on the up side it would make you all look a lot faster! :) )

Hey Rus, what was the name of the place you said for the brake pads? Clutch, hicas lock bar & rear camer arms on order. will sort some new springs out next week and want to order some pads now too!

Cheers!

Sandown 1, me 0. Thanks rowdy for your helicopter bush mechanics and Alex with the S15 for letting me dismember his busted car for spares.

the 180 will not rest until it does a respectable time at sandown.

well done Russ, Tim and Mick and Richo and Ant. its hard to say but i think the water on the track was worth 1ish second. The water on the last turn really hindered getting onto the front straight.

Lol don't forget the water in the downhill braking area for dandy corner....I won't forget going for the anchors, and stepping sideways in THAT area for a while :) At least it gave me a good line for the exist of that corner :)
