time for a trailer I think

defected for the wing, low front lip and lack of passenger seats, cop was pretty good about it. he was there to stake out all the drift cars arriving for the Friday night drift session

Why the wing?

Thats a bugga Mark. Where was the cop?

2 0f those 3 are an easy fix. The end plate could just have another width of carbon glued or screwed to it to increase the thickness, the passenger seat is an obvious one, but the front lip may take a bit more thought.

is the lip removeable or is the whole front bar a one piece deal?

I was at QLD raceway today for the open time attack to watch. I'd never been there before. I think I'm hooked.

Can't wait to take the R35 around there.

What kind of times were the R35's doing yesterday?

It seems like 60sec is a really good time.

Today there was:

R35: I think he was new. broke early and long. (prob like what I'd do when I first start out)

GT3: Was getting some good times. His lip head butted the road during braking at the end of the straight. Scared me at first. Thought it was cogs shattering.

GT2: Arrived on a trailer. Looked fantastic. Definately got the attention of the day. Suffered from mechanical problems every 2nd lap unfortunately.

Was great fun. Was like go-karting for adults. Can't wait to go back.

yeah was a bit disappointing Noel. the cop was about 2 km down the road from Champions way, before that dodgy servo just where it goes from 100 t 80 km/hr.

I was pushing my luck though so not really that upset as I guess it was coming. shits me that the car is infinitely safer than the majority of cars on the road but thats the way it is. once we remove the glass and put in carbon doors we were going to be trailering it anyway so this just pushes that decision forward a few months!

Richard, you should get along to the Ruzic Nissan day 28th Sept. plenty of us will be there. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/An...ay-t334877.html

As for sprint track times, I went out for a steak lunch when the sprint track was running as it was pissing down. only ran clubman (my favourite) and national.

On the sprint track, a stock R35 will do 58.5-61.

COBB stage 2 with R compound or dunlop 20 inch tyres about 57-58

second hand slicks with turbo/suspension upgrade 55's

I am hoping to get 54's next outing.

For the clubman some people would say you add about 2 seconds to your sprint track time as an estimate of what you might do. this time round I managed 57.2 on my only full run on the Clubman and I reckon there was more in there but it started raining. had brake problems (overheating) on the national circuit. I left my USB stick with the data on it in the car. I know i got a 1:18 on one of my first outings on the national so hopeful there is a 1:17 in subsequent sessions. This was the second outing I had with my second hand slicks which are shagged. cant wait to get out there with some new tyres! maybe next year.

Why was the wing defected?

    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
