So it was on??? I was there at 12:20, only one skyline in carpark (white 33 GTR NEURO) , ask them about it and was told nothing was booked for SAUWA only MX5 Club. :blink:

that wasn't me dude lol

i only found out about the booking after paul had arrived and then i sat with greg until the meeting room lol

was great fun though ;)

screw those handbrake turns hahaha

Thanks, Paul, for organising this. Great afternoon, despite the glitsch at the beginning. By the way, I have just logged my phone out of your Hotmail account ... ... .... !!!!

You did want to order a year's supply of Viagra and to help that nice man in Nigeria with his $25,000,000, didn't you? :down:

Hopefully, the Pulsar will just have the two boys in it next time and won't have to work so hard ..... .... .... and I'll be in the R34!

That would be good.

Great to meet everyone again and some new faces too. I am glad it wasn't just me failing on the handbrake turns. It was much easier years ago in the UK on the ice, wet sand, anywhere slippy!

Cheers. :D

yea it was a great day cheers paul :) Next time ill definatly NOT have standard suspension cant beleive how much understeer it had :)

Don't be surprised about understeer from a Skyline. Changing the suspension won't change that completely. The straight six is a big lump up front, so any Skyline (particularly a GTR) is going to struggle on the skidpan/autokhana - slower into the corner works better, to an extent, because you get better turn in. If you get out onto Barbagallo, you will be able to practice trail braking, which helps the transfer of weight and the turn in - which is much harder to make effective on the skid pan.

In short, don't expect expensive suspension to deliver a solution to understeer - you need to drive it better as well! :P

(Spoken from bitter experience .... ... ... and still learning!)

Cheers. :laugh:

haha yea man i wasnt expecting it to fix it completly, just make it a bit better. the other thing that was killing me was the body roll, through some of the corners it would throw the weight further than i was expecting. but yes i do need to learn more about what its going to do which is why im going to all these days :laugh: cheers for feedback :P

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
