haha yep...I was complaining because my lap timer showed 1.07.00...wished I had cracked the 1.06s. Turns out natsoft says I did.....if it's on the internet it must be true :D I am stoked with that time it is a fair bit quicker than my last best.....those Federal FZ201 are a good thing :D

Thanks to Steve and Shell for standing at the flag point all day, and to Aggrodave for organising all the entrants.

Very sorry to see what happened to Eric's car, and I hope both you and Reece pull up OK. That was by far the worst incident I have seen at one of our track days - I hope everything is sorted out at minimal cost

ahh you lying bastard! But you did help build the engine so you can have 50% credit :P

HAD HEAPS OF FUN GUYS :D, Thanks to the organizers Steve, dave, shell and the like :D. Everyone was friendly and had a great time at my first day.

First track day EVER mind you guys and i almost never drive my skyline :'( due to license issues... Anyway i was such a NOOB... Thanks to duncan Riece and ben for all your help you guys were great :D... Still gonna have nightmares duncan dam you!.

I pulled a 1.28 at the beg of day on street tyres ended up shaving 5 seconds off that at a 1.23 personal best :D:D. Next time im hoping to hit 1.15...

PS: Good luck Eric man hope you get some kind of pay from that bloke... If it doesn't happen theirs always the bat and half cut option ^.^

Cheers

Great to meet up with Dave > then Dean 'n Jeremy > BenM who talked me thru' the circuit > great buzz.

Then there's Sid (Yay), Steve-0, Mark, Patrick, Brian, Neil, Nick, Shell, Eric, Duncan, Ben, Buz, Matt, Kory, Matt, and others that are testing my premature dementia who offered support eh?

If you Eric can PM me with the dialogue between you and that jerk driving Dan Mackie's car > I'd like to make contact with Simon Mackie, Dan's dad and see if some moral backbone can spike that dude's conscience!

I've received heresay reports only, and I don't want to act on those alone.

1:18 is bleh..

Dunc keep an eye out for my front bar at turn 2 would ya lol

Thanks to Eric and Don/Mal from renew for helping with scruitineering.. still not sure how i got stuck with it but oh well.

Had a great day out and cant wait for the next one. Did a 1:17.1 so thats ok,but still lots of room to improve. Bring on May!

We'll look at class points shortly and let everyone know.

Shell: I'm not sure if you have spoken to eric about a couple of those shots in your facebook link but if he isnt aware of them it's probably not a good idea to post them. Depends on how he is handling it i guess.

Would be nice if old mate in the 300 offered to replace the fire extinguishers another bloke and I emptied under his bonnet. His car would have been in an even worse state without it.

Shell: I'm not sure if you have spoken to eric about a couple of those shots in your facebook link but if he isnt aware of them it's probably not a good idea to post them. Depends on how he is handling it i guess.

Eric's a friend in person and also on my facebook so if he has a problem with the couple of pics on the flatbed, I'm sure he'll tell me :)

I dont really know him just looking out for him - he seems like a good guy. Speaking vaugely about something is one thing but pics become a massive issue if insurance gets involved and if a bunch of people are posting them up it can have consequences :cheers:

The whole incident happened right in front of me and im still struggling to work out how he got it so wrong.

Unless you have spoken to the driver involved it's pretty poor form to post pics of an incident.

Not sure if that was aimed at me, but it was a public event at a public racetrack and sh!t happens. But removed it out of courtesy anyway...

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
