Anyone going to be in Sydney on Sunday that wants something interesting to do?

My pitb!tch is racing as well and is starting to worry about the little things... like getting me harnessed in, tyre pressures, fuels and anything unexpected which may come along - so I was wondering if anyone was interested in lending a hand on Sunday at Eastern Creek at the NSW Supersprint Championships?

Let me know if you are interested.

Cheers

Michele

PS I posted in NSW forum, but no takers yet.

Ill be in syd Sat night...If i can find somewhere to stay ill be happy to help out.

That would be great, let me know how you go, we're in the camper, not sure you would want to bunk up so close and personal with us... Jeno/Tarmac might get jealous of Mark cos they are like this --> 0

How did the family go?

Michele came 2nd outright which was a great result for her second look at the track and her highest gear was a 4th gear, not to mention the clutch problem isn't resolved - I think I ended up 20th, results are up on Natsoft. Car was good but VERY taily, something I hadn't noticed before this week was that the front sway bar has been removed, which might explain a few things. Looking at solutions for that now as the extended sump is possibly the reason it was removed in the first place.

Some funny footage of me trying to drive this thing :)

good stuff guys, congats to Michele!

looks like some mad understeer followed by snap over, but its a gtr so meh.

maybe some better tyres? is there a 4wd controller onboard, time to invest?

Brand new Yokohama A050's. We're not sure if the Motec is running the 4wd or not at this stage. It has a lot of potential, but still needs a lot to do.

Yeah great effort Michelle. And 20th isn't bad considering a brand new car and the others on the track looked considerably modified..

Thanks John, I thought he went well too, new car/new track. I always start a new track in safe (granny) mode lol

    • I did a bit of googling, the color MCM used was Galaxy Grey from House of Kolor. This is actually a colour I picked out about ~10+ years ago (or more). This one is a stock BMW colour, I guess over the years I figured it was smart to get an OEM colour that was pretty common for all of those sensible reasons one can think of..
    • I absolutely love having clean wheels and also totally love cleaning them. Its not as important to me to have a clean car exterior as it is to have clean wheels. So I bought a kit. I generally use different products for my wheels than anything else, so I thought I'd buy a proper kit and bucket to keep it all in. I got this one from Waxit. I also got the CQuartz wheel and plastic ceramic along with a bunch more application micro fibre pads as CQuartz never provide enough.  The kit was good, but as usual the big, long spongey thing didn't fit between my spokes, so I needed to use a detailing brush and a larger brush that I already owned (been doing this forever, the spokes on these wheels are frustrating.) I did a full clean with the wheel cleaner, it has an iron killing product in it, so I found that I could just use the cleaner and nothing else on the wheels. The tyre cleaner and handled brush were awesome. Made cleaning the tyres so easy. Once everything was clean, I decontaminated with isopropyl and applied the ceramic. Two coats. I bought 2 bottles as I have a lot of wheels to do, half of one bottle did two coats on these. The X5 has 20's so I reckon probably 3/4 on that. Then, for possibly the best part, the wheel cleaning kit comes with a tyre black applicator. But, this is possibly the greatest sponge of all time - its a great size, quite stiff and HAS A COVER! When you finish applying the black, you just put the cover back on! This is revolutionary, I normally have to try and find safe places to put my tyre black applicators as they are covered in silicone and tyre crap. Or, you use something which just falls apart. This applicator is the bee's knee's. Get one. It's worth it. The tyre black is also like a cream, its very thick but goes on really thin, its very easy to use with the applicator. Ayway, after a big clean, decontam, ceramic coat and tyre black the wheels went back on and they look awesome.   Thought I'd share. 
    • Haha. Good work. I feel some of your pain because I spent a bunch of time under my car over the period too. Probably nowhere near as much as you did. My happiness is similarly improved by obtaining a desired result though. Those side skirts are.....hecking. Very unfriendly for street and hoist. Sounds to me like you've made a cart that needs to be driven up only planks/blocks at a 2 post hoist, rather than trying to get it up onto a 4 poster. It's very pretty, by the way. Somewhat reminiscent of Marty's squid ink on SuperGramps - at least in the photos.
    • Absolute Legend 🍻 After fighting with the scanned ones for the last 10 years this is a God send 
    • ATTAKD 356mm Brake Kit for R34 GTT or R33 GTST. Same brake kit as per here from JJ: https://justjap.com/products/attkd-brake-kit-nissan-skyline-r34-99-02?currency=AUD Can confirm these will bolt directly to a R33 GTST with 12mm bolts OR to a R34 GTT (which is what I had) with the supplied bolts and the collets for the 14mm bolt holes in the R34, which are included. Also included is a set of rotors and hats, as well as 2x brake pad sets. 1) DBA XP (street, hills) 2) Forza FR6 (track) These are radial mounted and bolt directly to R33/R34. You will need extended brake lines to avoid them being full stretch on lock - this is common for all BBK's with the bolt point being in the center. In my case I welded another stud about 25mm lower than the OEM one and retained stock lines and fittings. You'll want a BM57 BMC to get the most out of these. I speak from experience. $1800 (neg for SAU people), located SE Suburbs Melbourne.
