lol did we just travel through time from the age of the iphone 6?

We’re back baby, 3 kids / 7 iPhones later

[Duncan]

That would do it!

(obviously I meant using iphones, not having kids)

Did you make it to a tarmac rally before they stopped or will this be track focussed now?

[paulR32gtr]

Never tarmac rallies with this, but did got along to a few in my 34 which I still have. Hoping to do a few more at some point in the not too distant future. 

This car will remain track fun focused free from any rules. Getting back in to some events, some goodies to be added in due course.

Doing the 6hr Phillip Island relay in it this weekend, with a few of the SAU Vic crew. Will be strange not trying to go full pace but will be good fun weekend with mates.

You still competing in anything?

[paulR32gtr]

Actually if you don't mind can you pls rename tarmac to track @Duncan! That missing "rally" typo has haunted me since 2010 😅

Yeah sounds like good fun, it is easy too get sucked in to levels of motorsport that are expensive and competitive but not as much fun. 

My car is off the road since a tree pruning incident at Great Tarmac Rally a couple of years back. It is straight (enough) again and being slowly put back together now, but the reality is that a R32 GTR is kind of a dumb thing to rally these days given their value and cost/difficulty to repair. If/when rallies get going again we will probably runs something newer and cheaper/easier to repair like a 400z

Brakes completely transformed, zero gripes with them now. Consistent progressive reliable pedal, endless stopping, didn't lock a wheel all weekend on very old A050s.

Setup is:

• Front AP CP5555 calipers, some might say are too small for the rotor but they work so eh
• Front rotor 375x36/5mm
• Front pads Pagid RS29
• Rear standard rebuilt calipers with some Project Mu pads on stock solid rotors
• Fresh BM50 + booster
• GKTech ABS delete kit
