It gets very dark down there :whistling:

Good luck to those running tonight, might be at the next one with luck :thumbsup:

wow your not wrong, it was pitch black and even on high beam it was a bit tricky. Still long track is so much better, so fast, 5th gear coming down the back straight, had a quick glance at the speedo was over 230kph :woot:

had Carl Ridler come for a few laps and give me some pointers, he was very helpful, and his advise made a lot of sense and when put into practice dropped a couple of seconds, he said my GTR had about same exceleration as a V8 supercar :banana:.

fastest long track and pb for me 65.2, and short track 56.0.... both quickest for the night :bunny:

was an excellant turn out with about 40 cars, can't wait for the next one, hope your ready for it Paul :thumbsup:

Carl Ridler is a good driver,belted my R33 for 3 laps and managed 1.10 on shit tyres and almost no brakes.I prefer short track (nice and bright) :rolleyes: Will definitely do next no limit night. Did anyone tried Hankook Z214? Going by the tread pattern it should grip nicely.

Heres some video ( shit footage because in the dark ) with some good pointers from Carl ( think I made a mess of the spelling of his name :blush: ) which could be useful to others, so thought I'd share, I knocked 2.5seconds off in the next run, after being out with Carl..

I'll let him do some laps in mine next time and see what it can really do :worship:

yeah short track is nicely lite but the long track flows much better and its only one corner in the dark, its a bit daunting for the first few laps but ok after that..

Awesome stuff. I wholeheartedly agree with letting the instructors, many of who are semi-professional drivers, take your car for a spin. Then you can see what it's truly capable of, and gives you something to aim for :thumbsup:

Tricstar, Those are some awesome times :thumbsup: Good tips from Karl :)

      Fuel Flow Regulator Hose Restrictors

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      As a general rule removing rubber fuel hose is so difficult I would replace it if it hasn't been done in the last 5 years. The risk you damage the liner or one of the inner layers is pretty high if it's not almost brand new. BMW's recommendations around coolant hoses is similar. My R33's fuel hoses at the fuel tank were so perished that they were ready to burst FYI.

      Rb25det Belts Change

      Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.

      GTR Festival (Aus) - 2025 - Stagea Alley

      By alexburns · Posted

      https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au
