thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. The event was better run from a spectators point of view, We werent bombarded with Mad Mike and friends every 5 minutes, they kept their pit area antics to a minimum and the announders at least tried to give us times more than once. Their task was made harder by that screaming banshee of a woman talking over them constantly with pit announcements etc. Neccessary but not well timed.

We've all known the aero setup was going to be a contentious issue sooner or later. As long as its safe I dont give a toss who has what on their car. I go to see a spectacle and thats just what I get. Love every minute of it.

Promo girls with some exeptions (royal purple) were the most shagged out bunch of skanky slappers I ever saw. Lift ya game tards.

Regardless of what you think of the outrageous aero the time layed down by Nemo is mind boggling, Cusco had years of prep and a couple of years to lay down a time whe thought could not be beat and along comes this Hideously awesome carbon creation and just smashes it. Amazing!

The berry Newman 32 is the sweetest sounding car on the planet bar none. I have never heard a machine sing like that thing. Given the zero aero on that car its times were more than respectable too, Theres life in the old girl yet.

Caught up with so many old friends and put names to new faces, Too many to mention but I will say a big thank you To Terry for doing me what to him was probably nothing but meant so much to me.

You're a true gentleman mate.

Nap time for old men. Just finished a 10 hour driving stint to get home.

What was the story with the Cyber evo this year?

Did it seem to be a case of C West not having the new aero package working for the chassis or more so mechanical issues?

Motor had wiring issues with new CDI..... Also new turbo setup was unhappy. 30psi yielded 380hp. Leak tested motor and it was also very unhappy.

A full engine transplant occured Friday 1am.... Car arrived at track 4pm Friday. Made about 600hp.

First session saw the aero package dig into the ground (front splitter) when Tarzan got into at turn 4,5,6 , Suspension and Aero package did not account for the extra power.

Suspension adjusted, then second session saw oil around the whole track. Oil return of turbine seemed to be the cause. 4pm Tarzan shook the hands of Warren Luff and CO

Annoyed that Cyber didnt get a lap out and also Annoyed they were so under prepared!

More annoyed that the carrot topped tard didnt pull off the line when it spewed oil everywhere.

All this talk of how mich faster the track is, ting to Boz and Luffythwy said .2 seconds a lap, maye .5

Some bits have better exit but new surface i places has leas grip. Conditions on the weekend ( wind alone, not cold temps), meant same car back to back would be the same.

We lost top speed this year, even with more power and 6-speed due to extra aero and possibly the winds, but Aero mostly

Spoke to some pro drivers. They said. Nemo is like a wing car ( openwheeler ) but with bits of an evo body around it. Its top speed is low due to retarded amounts of down force. No braking for turn 1 is mental! Crazy car! I doubt Japanese will return to take it on as it would cost over a million to take them on

The guys at cyber Evo must be shattered. After coming all that way (and supposedly bringing the car out of retirement), really not posting a time, and having the issues that they did. Find it hard to believe that the motor needed to be swapped out early friday morning. Thought it would have had its health checked and double checked prior to the event. Or did something lunch itself in practice? Sounds like the crew were having a shocker.

Nemo certainly is impressive. Whats the estimated Hp of the car? Find it hard to believe it has 900hp and still doesn't have all that much straight line speed. If it has the powers, then the drag must be astronomical. Does anyone know what the plans are for it? Contest internationally?

Did the grp A GTRs actually post times, or just circulate?

lastly - moar pics!

I was there on friday for most of the day, all up around 9 hours & I must say I froze my ass off lol.

Overall I enjoyed it but a couple of things were abit dissapointing.

1 - The commentators would announce the times as soon as the cars crossed the finish line & 80% of the time you couldnt here it over the sound of the cars flying down the straight.

2 - Would have been nice to have some screens up showing the action.

I reckon with aero development that the Hi-Octane R32 could win Open, Berry really knows how to hustle that bad boy.

Dominator Evo could definitely step up to pro very competitive package with Glenney driving.

That RE Amemiya car is very very well presented and Taniguchi is a bit of an Ace, same with Top Fuel.

Tilton car is a f**king weapon, that thing seriously hauls. big improvement from those guys.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
