Not much info yet, but apparently our pit area is somewhere on the skid pan

Your welcome - you and your Dad come and have a chat - if your dad likes fords he can have a sit in Courtneys old car! (Stone Bros Au3)

Cheers

Stuart & Karen

lol...

should be a very good line up of cars this year......2 or 3 R32's, 1 HR31 and the DR30.....plus all the other stuff to keep us on our toe's!

Hi Chris

Got the paperwork today - we will be on figure 8 drift track for parking (Sports Sedans)

Heres the new paint job - will have to sort suspension down there - too wet last meeting.

All rebuilt but no idea with the sachs, will give me something to do.

Big field but will be aiming for a mid 1.36

Hoping for PB for self and car!

If anyone else is competing, we will have 8kva generator, welder, power tools, and everything except for what I'll need, if we can be of any help come visit

Hey Stuart - that would be awesome and make Dad's day - we'll be sure to come up!

Cheers!

Chris

lol, we all know that feeling. :( generous offer too. :)

Hi Evil

Sorry, we were only just talking that we did not see you and didnt get a lot of time.

Was having issues tunning rebuilt shocks and bloody sway bars would work in pits and freeze on track - so I appologise to you and Duncan H - got to say g'day to Neil for point 2 of a second.

PS Duncan H - wasn't being rude, but the tall chap I was talking to was giving me lots of required information - he actually built the car and was of great help

Cheers

Catch up soon

awesome day today - got sunburnt !! Stu - I did walk past but you seemed very busy so didnt want to disturb!

Happy times with Dad(who is 73) smashing the Historic Group A Lap record in qualifying....then in race on Saturday........only to then put it into a wall 6-7 corners later.

Have to admit that VL GIO car/driver is a wicked combo!

oh no? which car in the wall?

and what was the historic GRP A record? well done. :)

GIO GTR....turn 7.....wrong gear so he looped it and hit on the RHS....smashed the rear hub and suspension + front suspension and 3 wheels. I nearly went off in sympathy lol.

got the car going for Sunday.... but a rear of the grid start with 3 race meeting old tyres didn't help.

Old lap record by Terry Ashwood was 1.41:8....dad did a 1.40:8......terry then went onto smash that on Sunday with a 1.40:5....I recon Dad's car is capable of 1.38's with us rookies!

BMW went well with David Towe....finished 2ND!

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
