Am i able to sign up to SAU even though i don't have a skyline? I meant to ask this question on the day. If so, would love too as i fully support this club in what they do and practice.

Absolutely, Kory - the club is for Skyline enthusiasts, so it doesn't really matter what you drive. Heck, quite a few of our members and Execs (past and present) don't even own a Skyline anymore!

tip freaking top day. Had so much fun, as always as Wakie!!! Love that place.

Had a nice big screeching sliding off into the grass and mud in session 1 when i hit some coolant or something, apologies to Shell as my passenger........ was fun though!!!!!

My Dad had a blast in the Audi, and he loved taking passengers around all day. He was so proud that there was a queue of people waiting for a ride in the Audi ;)

Cant wait for another one. Also my camera battery died after taking 2 pictures on the day, DUH! So i'd be keen to get copies of anyones pics if that ok. Looking forward to that DVD of photos too!!!!

Cheers to Ando, Chubbs Clappa and co for all their hard work getting it organised. These days dont run themselves, and your hard work is greatly appreciated.

As Nick said, you can certainly sign up to become a member. ;)

PM me and I'll mail out forms, or check Secretary "Shell" and her Sig for a download.

Sorry, but I packed up the desk & forms at lunchtime. Cheers, T

I had a really good day :) everyone who ran it did such a good job!!

I finally went in a car Ando, happy now? Haha.

Will def be at the next one!

Don't know why you decided to go into a slow one though :down:

Sounds like everyone had a good day, lots of PB's, including two zeds. Duncan's GTR went well. The Slot Car was getting pumped up ready for the next one.

Curious what was the fast car there?

Well now that the dust has settled and i've had a bit of time to go over the car i've found a few things as a result of the day:

Both front brake discs have hairline fractures everywhere on the donut's so that explains the vibration felt while braking after the first sessions. Replacements needed

Underbody is fine despite the grass cutting sessions, although the underside of the front cf lip copped it a little bit, there's no real damage

Front brake pads need to be replaced (time for ferodo ds2500's)

A second set of rims will be needed for track days!!!

Well it wasn't me John, I spent to much time spinning around in circles!

Had my first ever spin at the fish hook. I was using Khumo Ku36 tyres, and had no idea that a street tyre needed so much heat before they worked. Came out the pits nice and easy and barely made turn 1. Took it very easy up through the top and even coming in slowly into the hook, all 4 just let go and did a nice couple of 360's.

2 laps later though, they were awesome, and easily one of best street tyres you can get for the track.

John, It was the 32 GTR previously known as FAT R...makes 500kw at the treads or so

The first couple of spins really annoyed me (I think I was just trying too hard) And I thought to myself "I'm never gonna get this right" but I got used to it by the end of the day. I was still pretty happy with how I went at the end of the day for a big newb.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
