The Shannons Insurance Skyline Nationals 2012 - Goulburn And Wakefield Park


Recommended Posts

Seeing as there were so many noob's on the track I was glad that Bec was tough on the behaviour. Sets a good precedence for their next track day :)

It's so nice to be able to drive home from the track, in the car you drove there in. And makes for a lot less paperwork :D

No flames or tank slapping photos sorry, big thanks to the R31 Skylines club for some great pics of the weekend.

Lotsa pics and vid can be found here > http://forum.r31skyl...topic=154303.30

The R35 tried to be exciting going into turn 1 on the grass inside the HR31 ... Wakefield staff didn't seem to appreciate the excitement either, I thought it was most entertaining :D

I wasn’t planning on finding the grass at 210kph that is what happens when another driver does not see you going up the inside of them and moves over on you. Just got a bit sideways and went on the grass to avoid an accident. All was ok the other driver did apologise after that, they did not predict the R35 gains so much down the straight and didn’t think I would be there at that time. Did make for an exciting ride and entry into turn 2 trying to pull it up.

More photos of the day would be good to see....

I believe it happened twice to you, the other time it was me coming out, they said go and I did, I then got on the brakes hard as soon as I saw you coming.

I think it was a 35, I was kind of focused on staying as far left as I could and clutching my seat with my arse cheeks.

Artz, just think of all the little mementos that you'll get from under the car when you get under there!

At least the tow truck did some skids pulling you out ;)

Results for the track day.

Anyone know the Show and Shine rusults ????, the black 31 2 door with the cage was my pick !!!!

I'm loving how fatz is in Class D, Race or heavily modified road cars in his massively worked 32 GTR. 3rd fastest time in Class B

Would have thought Dennis Resi GTR would have been a heavily modded road car, and fatz would be in the road car class dose not effect me at all just would make more sense from the results and make them look closer.

My boat maybe should have beed in "D" as well, my first run was in group 2 but I didnt have the pace (read:skill) to keep up with the fast guys so I jumped to group 3, still a fair few of the cars in "B" were "highly modified"

Maybe tyre classification would have been better in splitting the class ?

Call me "Capt Hindsight" or an Idiot, I answer to either !!!!

I circled D not B

Is 380 kw and no cage heavily modified?

As the rules for the event were very lose I would say, "who knows when modified becomes heavily modified"

But going by the CAMS provisional rules and regs I would say yes for mine, they put me in Type SV.

    • Hi    have purchased pair of eibach wheel spacer as I couldn’t fit set of wheels I bought for my car due to it catching caliper.   I know I need to cut the bolts on my discs so they sit flush with the nut supplied but the nut doesn’t sit all the way into the groove meaning wheel would not directly fit onto the spacer rather the nuts. Any thoughts?   See pic   https://ibb.co/VJK5w5G
    • Nah. There's not shit tonnes of pressure in there. Just drill with a 1.5mm drill or something equally tiny. When the drill goes all the way through thee gas will start to come out, but with such tiny path through the flutes of the drill bit, it won't be at all dangerous. You can be as paranoid as you like from then on. I'd just pull the drill out while keeping my face out of the line of fire. But then, I spend half my time looking into pressurised furnaces. So my risk acceptance is somewhat higher than most!
    • Been needing a new clutch for a while, but holding off because of life tingz and adulting. But... Being of Asian descent, I can't pass on a good sale, especially everyone else is selling it for $2k+ (JJR has it for $1799). Really on the fence on this one, because the unsprung version of this is $1281 via Shitbox (Sparesbox) and the sprung version is quite a bit more (no idea why Shitbox doesn't offer them). Ending up just sending it and getting the twin sprung organic. Mainly because I wanted the car to be nice to drive and didn't want to make it more of a shitbox than it already is.    
    • It was the pressure I was worried about. @GTSBoy does drilling them pose any problems?
    • yep just a JIC vs ISO insulator height. old coils are for JIC, new coils are for ISO
